Upcoming Launches in 2026
- Dripos Accounting: To start, the experience has been focused on single unit businesses with less complicated bookkeeping needs. But next year, we will expand to more complex features as we work to create an easy system that leverages all of your Dripos information easily in one place for all shops.
- Reporting Improvements: We'll be rolling out improvements to our reports on all platforms, aimed at granularity and more pointed insights into how your business is doing.
- Reputation Management: We'll be building out tools for your business to manage reviews, so your shops can increase reach and visibility to even more patrons in 2026.
We have processed over $500M in payments since our public launch in July of 2022 at Chicago CoffeeFest and we are on pace to power over 3% of all independent coffee shops in the US by the end of the year. So what does this mean for you as a Dripos customer? It means we’re staying true to our core mission: building the definitive operating system for independent coffee.
Our entire team is driven by the ongoing evolution of the platform, and as we continue to grow, we’ll have even more resources to invest back into supporting you and your shop for the long run. We hope you have enjoyed and see you at the next chat!
