It’s been far from a grind for the Riverina-born mobile ordering platform, which has grown from strength-to-strength since it began as a mobile coffee ordering app linking cafes to the palm of a customer’s hand.
365cups fought off multi-national companies, including Starbucks and Donut King, to take out the Best Mobile App, Food and Drink at the Australian Mobile Awards in Sydney on Thursday night.
It was also a finalist in the Best Mobile Expanded Service or Application category.
To date, more than 225,000 orders have been processed on the app, generating close to $2 million for cafe clients.
Co-founder, Simone Eyles, was ecstatic with the win and said the business had come along way during its short two-and-half-year life span.
“It blows me away to see the 365cups name in among a list of finalists that includes household brand names in both Australia and overseas,” Ms Eyles said.
“This year has been huge for us and has seen massive growth, including our expansion into the New Zealand and Asian markets.
“We’re still young and have so many more ideas,” she said.
The business has recently expanded to provide its platform to other retail and hospitality businesses, including farm supply co-operatives,
fruit and vegetable delivery businesses and large property groups.
