Coffee Monster backs the Baristas with virtual donations during lockdown

Thursday, 26 March, 2020

Coffee Monster App introduces BACK YOUR BARISTAS – a way to support our coffee community, one (virtual) cup at a time. See how it works below. Well done to the Coffee Monster Team for starting this initiative!



Many businesses in the food and beverage industry face significant losses as South Africans take precautions to protect themselves and others from COVID-19.
We fully understand and support the measures being taken to keep people healthy and safe. At the same time, we want to reduce the impact this will have on businesses in our Coffee Monster community – which is why we’ve introduced the BACK YOUR BARISTA initiative. This allows you to support local coffee shops by making a contribution through the app. 


How it works:
- Find your Monster Spot on the app, as usual. 
- Then, select ‘Virtual Coffee’ from the menu. To up your contribution, you can up the number of Virtual Coffees you buy, or add a tip.
- Complete your order. So easy!


Even though you’re making a donation, not buying a brew, your order will count towards your loyalty points (10 points = 1 free coffee). So, next time you make your favourite brew at home why not share the love by ordering a Virtual Coffee from one of our Monster Spots?


If you have any questions about this initiative, or suggestions on how we can further support our baristas and Monster Spots, please get in touch with Coffee Monster.
