How Does It Work?

The Think Local First Passport is a digital platform where coffee lovers can check in at participating businesses, earn points, and win prizes. Merchants and employees do not need any special equipment or training. The digital passport works with geolocation and will allow participants to check in at participating businesses to earn points for prizes. Businesses do not need to worry about any administration.
