The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf, an international coffee chain with over 1000 stores worldwide, was looking to innovate its customer experience through new strategies, approaches and technologies.
Digital Agency of Record (DAOR)
The Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf was looking to enhance their overall customer experience through an industry-leading digital ecosystem. They selected Hathway for our deep expertise in the restaurant vertical, relevant technology experience, as well as our IP and creative prowess. Hathway has been acting as the DAOR for Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf since 2016.
What We Did
Through consumer and market research we collaboratively developed a true omni-channel strategy that involved online order-ahead, ecommerce and loyalty functions that are accessible for customers in-store, online and through their native apps.
GO NATIVE
First, we launched the new Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf native applications for iOS and Android, inclusive of mobile payments, rewards program and personalized offers.
Fresh-Brewed Commerce
Shortly thereafter, we launched the new coffeebean.com where customers can purchase coffee beans, tea, capsules, equipment and gift cards. Integrating the latest versions of Magento and Drupal, this hybrid platform solution allows CBTL marketers flexibility to tell a branded story, make frequent content updates, and leverage modern ecommerce selling tools — without hefty platform license fees.
With these new mobile-first experiences, Coffee Bean has laid the foundation for delivering a modern customer experience.
