Kauai launched a new subscription service for coffee and smoothie lovers

Retail 13 January 2021

Health food chain Kauai announced that it has launched a new subscription service which offers unlimited organic coffee for a month as well as a daily smoothie for either 15 or 30 days in South Africa.

“Innovation is a central tenet of our business, so we are thrilled to be the first restaurant group to bring this subscription service to South Africa and one of only a handful offering this type of subscription programme worldwide,” said Dean Kowarski, chief executive of Kauai’s parent company Real Foods.

“We also understand that South Africans are looking for value during these tough economic times, so have designed our subscriptions to offer exceptional value on our organic coffees and smoothies,” Kowarski added.

Customers can purchase the subscription through the Kauai app, which can be downloaded from the app store on their respective device.

Once the subscription voucher is received, it will indicate how many coffees or smoothies have been redeemed, and how many remain.

Orders can be placed at any of Kauai’s 150 stores, with customers simply scanning the app to redeem their drink. Customers can also order on the app for delivery or for contactless collection in-store, to help maintain social distancing.

The unlimited organic coffee subscription allows customers to redeem any short hot drink every two hours for 30 days, up to 240 coffees over the 30 days, for a subscription of R299.

A subscription for one small daily smoothie for 15 days costs R199, while a 30-day smoothie package costs R375, all available on Kauai’s app.
