In addition to providing daily doses of amazing caffeine to the neighborhood, FLUID Coffeebar鈥檚 owners, Chuck and Alison Scates, love promoting arts and community events. They occasionally have open-mic nights, artists' gatherings, book signings, art pop-ups, independent writers group, tarot card nights, and more.
The couple also wants to support local businesses and uplift others. Chuck shares that the team has been working with other businesses across Northwest Indiana to provide quality ingredients and baked goods to their customers.听
鈥淲e are proud to be working globally and locally using direct trade practices. We also love promoting the arts,鈥 he states.听
How the FLUID Coffee team uses 蜜桃传媒t to eliminate the manual ordering process.
Prior to using 蜜桃传媒t for all their ordering needs, FLUID Coffeebar was placing their orders and processing their invoices manually using pen and paper.听
Since adopting 蜜桃传媒t, they鈥檝e eliminated these manual processes. With just a few taps, Chuck can easily create purchase orders on his mobile phone using the 蜜桃传媒t mobile app for Buyers. When he submits his orders, an email is sent to his suppliers so the order can immediately be confirmed and fulfilled.听
蜜桃传媒t has also helped Chuck connect with other roasters, such as Tinker Coffee, Dark Matter, and Intelligentsia, enabling him to expand his offering to his clientele and grow his business.听
鈥淲ith Tinker Coffee, for instance, I can place an order within 5 minutes! They keep their offerings up to date [on 蜜桃传媒t] so I do not have to manually enter anything. That saves me a bunch of time!鈥 Chuck talks about his experience of using 蜜桃传媒t to order to their suppliers.听

Additionally, he also enjoys 蜜桃传媒t鈥檚 ability to add all suppliers and manage all orders on a single platform, even when the supplier is not using 蜜桃传媒t.
鈥淧rior to ordering from Tinker, I ordered from Dark Matter Coffee. They did not have an online ordering system so I manually added them to 蜜桃传媒t. That sped up the process.鈥 Chuck continued, 鈥淸...] 蜜桃传媒t is more streamlined and is an app instead of [a] website. Overall, I would say 蜜桃传媒t saves me 30 minutes to 1 hour per week.鈥
As they start to expand their business as a multi-roaster cafe, they plan to use 蜜桃传媒t to help with their coming orders and further grow their business.
