You Make Great Coffee, But Customers Still Choose the Chain
Lighthouse unifies the signals that drive growth—customer voice, visibility, pricing, and experience—then turns them into a ranked plan and automated fixes you can ship. Our AI acts on verified benchmarks, not guesses.
You think it's about the coffee. It's about convenience and consistency. Starbucks wins on speed, not quality.
Industry Average: Coffee shop customer visits 1.8x per week. Top loyalty-focused cafes? 4.2x per week. Those 2.4 extra visits per customer equal $3,600/year in additional revenue per 100 regulars.
The Starbucks down the street has a drive-thru and an app. You have better coffee and a cozier vibe. But they're packed at 7am while you're hoping for a morning rush that never comes. The problem isn't your product, it's habit formation. Starbucks wins because they've trained customers to make them part of their morning routine. You need to do the same, or you'll keep losing to convenience.

“Local Searcher”
- “I’m physically here right now. If you’re closed, slow to answer, or hard to find, I’m gone in 30 seconds.”
“Parent Planner”
- “My kid comes first. If anything looks unsafe, unclear, or inconvenient, I’m out — no second chances.”
“Comparison Shopper”
- “I’ve already looked at three competitors. Beat them on features, guarantees, or bundling or lose my cart.”
“Price-Sensitive Deal Seeker”
- “I’m hunting the absolute lowest price. Six tabs open, one click away from your competitor.”
“Urgent Need-It-Now Booker”
- “This is an emergency. Speed and availability trump everything — be there now or lose me forever.”
“First-Time Buyer”
- “I’ve never bought from you — why should I trust you won’t screw me on hidden fees or slow shipping?”
“Unhappy 1–2★ Reviewer”
- “You already screwed up once. One more mistake and I’m leaving a review that hurts for years.”
“Trendy 18–24 Year Old”
- “If it’s not on TikTok, Reels, or backed by real user proof, it doesn’t exist to me.”
“Loyal Customer”
- “I love you, but loyalty isn’t free — rewards, personalization, and feeling remembered keep me coming back.”
“Commercial B2B Buyer”
- “I buy in bulk with contracts and legal terms. Show me you can handle enterprise or I’ll go to someone who can.”
