Java Rewards is a loyalty rewards app designed for independent coffee shops. Businesses can sign up to the app and create a profile. Customers can sign up and claim a free coffee after they have purchased 7 coffees at any businesses that are signed up to Java Rewards. The aim is to help promote independent coffee shops and allow them to build a loyal customer base.
We built the app with React Native, Typescript, Expo Go and Firebase. It uses an API that we built with Node, Express, Typescript and MongoDB.
Repo for API: https://github.com/Liam-Tomlinson/Java-Rewards-BackEnd
