How it works

1. 01

   One board per city

   Every city has its own board. Cafés are never ranked against cafés in other cities.

2. 02

   Anyone can bid on any café

   Open a café's page and pay from $2, no account needed; Stripe emails your receipt. Leave your name and a message if you like, and choose whether the café or everyone sees it. Owners make a free account to list their café (photo, website, first bid) and to see who is backing them. Every bid counts the same.

3. 03

   Bids add up

   Every bid adds to the café's total. Totals only go up. Highest total is #1. Ties go to whoever got there first.

4. 04

   That's it

   No reviews, no ratings, no algorithm. Rank = total paid. Every click on a café's website link is counted on its dashboard.
