Founder note
Why SipCoin exists
SipCoin grew out of years spent on both sides of the bar. The guests who show up, treat the staff well, and keep coming back are the ones who give a venue its character. Until now, nothing recognised them for it, and nothing told the venue who they were.
In any great bar, standing is earned: consistency, respect for the people pouring, a bit of generosity. We did not want to replace that with a coupon. We wanted to give it structure, so a venue can see it, reward it, and build on it.
So we started with the part a bar can check against its own floor. A guest checks in. Staff confirm the tab. The visit is recorded to a real person. Everything else, events, rewards, tiers, is built on top of that one honest record.
The network is young. The first venues on it will shape what it becomes, and we would rather build it with them than for them.
The SipCoin founders
What we believe
Three rules the product is built on.
Standing is earned, not bought
Tiers move on accepted check-ins, not spend. A regular who has a beer every Thursday outranks a tourist with a big tab, because that is how a bar actually thinks.
The record has to be honest
Points exist only after a staff member confirms a real receipt. We would rather credit less than credit something that did not happen.
Venues own the relationship
Your rewards, your events, your regulars. SipCoin is the ledger between you and them, not a marketplace that rents them back to you.
Community
Two rooms, both open.
One Discord for operators comparing notes. One for guests trading tips on where to go. The founders are in both.
