OneCupTM

Pay-It-Forward Pickup Platform for Local Cafés

OneCupTM is a pickup-only coffee ordering platform designed to enable customers to pay it forward by pre-purchasing drinks that can later be claimed for free by others. The product connects local cafés and customers through a simple, dignity-first system that blends digital ordering with in-store pickup-without delivery, subscriptions, or social exposure.

Unlike traditional food delivery platforms, OneCupTM focuses on walk-in community engagement, allowing cafés to track and distribute paid-forward drinks both physically at the counter and digitally within the app.

Hypothesis 01 • Redemption Confidence

"Privacy for both giver and receiver increases participation."

Hypothesis 02 • Safe Participation

"A donated cup should feel like normal hospitality, not charity."

Concept • Dignity by Design
