Your virtual coffee agent

Keep every coffee shop running to your standards.

CremaIQ is the virtual coffee agent that streamlines your operations — watching your espresso machines, water quality, SOPs, shifts and staff around the clock. It catches what slips when you're not behind the bar, nudges the team on WhatsApp, and reports every week on the health of your shop.

Why CremaIQ

You can't be behind every bar

Standards slip the moment you leave the floor. CremaIQ closes the gap between how your shop should run and how it actually runs — automatically.

The problem

  • Shots pulled off-recipe — inconsistent cups drive customers away, and you only hear about it in a bad review.
  • Water filters left until the machine scales up and needs a costly service.
  • Opening & cleaning SOPs skipped, with no proof they were ever done.
  • Clock-in disputes, unclear shift cover and payroll guesswork.
  • Issues lost in group chats — no accountability, no history, no data.

The CremaIQ answer

  • Reads live telemetry from your espresso machines and grades every extraction against your recipe.
  • Monitors water TDS and filter health, flagging membrane and cartridge faults before they bite.
  • Runs your SOPs, clock-ins and shift roster — and verifies the steps against real machine data.
  • Turns every reported issue into a tracked ticket, and reminds the right people on WhatsApp.
  • Sends you a weekly health report with a clear action list to keep standards high.
Flow Coffee monitoring

Every espresso, graded against your recipe

CremaIQ connects to your bar's extraction data and scores each shot — met recipe, too fast, too slow, or off on volume. See on-recipe rate by site, by machine and by grouphead, so you know exactly where the cup is drifting.

  • Per-shot ratings

    Duration and volume checked against target, with fast/slow and missed-volume breakdowns.

  • Site & machine trends

    On-recipe rate over time so you can catch a drifting grinder or an under-trained barista early.

Roastery RO unit — TDS climbing past threshold, service the membrane.

TDSBot water monitoring

Protect the machine before the water bites

Water is 98% of your coffee — and the number-one killer of espresso machines. CremaIQ tracks every TDSBot in real time, spotting membrane and cartridge faults, high-TDS and offline units so you service filters on schedule, not after a breakdown.

  • Live TDS & filter health

    Online/offline status, alert history and the installs that need servicing first.

  • Critical-fault alerts

    Membrane and high-TDS faults escalate straight to your team on WhatsApp.

Flow-Verified SOPs

Standard operating procedures that check themselves

Build your opening, cleaning and closing checklists once, and CremaIQ serves them to the right location every day. The twist: steps can be Flow-verified against live machine data — so "first shot pulled" or "backflush done" is confirmed by the bar, not just ticked.

  • Per-location daily checklists

    Progress tracked step-by-step, with a compliance grid showing close-off across the week.

  • Verified by real telemetry

    Steps tie back to Flow events, so critical tasks can't just be checked off from the couch.

WhatsApp conversational AI

Your team talks, CremaIQ takes care of it

Staff and owners report issues in plain language on WhatsApp — the channel they already use. CremaIQ's AI understands the message, opens the right ticket, and sends back confirmations, reminders and company notifications. No new app to learn.

  • Report by message, get a ticket

    The AI triages each inbound message, extracts the issue and files it — or asks a quick clarifying question.

  • Smart reminders & notices

    Clock-in nudges, SOP reminders, late-first-shot alerts and company-wide notifications — all automated.

Weekly health report

A weekly check-up for your coffee shop

Every week, CremaIQ pulls coffee quality, water health, SOP compliance, attendance and open tickets into a single scored report — with a prioritised action list so you always know the few things to fix to keep standards at their highest.

  • One health score

    A single, at-a-glance grade per shop, so multi-site owners can compare and prioritise.

  • Actions, not just numbers

    Every report ends with the specific steps to raise quality, service filters and close SOP gaps.
