Frequently asked questions
Wondering what adding a venue to the map or running it actually looks like? Here are the practical answers before you create an account. Can't find what you need? Send us a note.
What is Specialty Atlas Business?
It is the panel where cafés and roasteries run everything they have inside the Specialty Atlas app: the public profile, beans on bar, events, the check-in QR and passport stamp, recipes, replies in Buzz, and the numbers behind all of it. You open it in a browser at specialtyatlas.com/b2b and you can add it to your phone's home screen — it is built to be used from behind the bar, not from a desk.
How do I add my café or roastery to Specialty Atlas?
Create a free business account and submit the place you run. We review every profile before it becomes visible, so the map stays useful for people who drink specialty instead of filling up with generic listings.
My venue is already in the app. How do I take it over?
Create a free account and find your venue in the Cafés or Roasteries section — you do it straight from your dashboard. We verify the claim, and once it is approved you manage the details, photos, events, beans on bar, recipes and promotional sections yourself.
How long does the review take?
We review most submissions within 1–2 business days.
Do I have to pay?
No. A free account gets you a published venue, an event a month, your profile and a week of real analytics. Paid plans start with Lite for a single venue and go up from there: a longer analytics window, more events and photos, beans on bar, replies in Buzz, your own map stamp, and more venues on one account. Every limit is visible before you pay, and you can cancel whenever you like.
Do I see any real data on the free plan?
Yes — real numbers over a seven-day window, not a blurred preview with a padlock on it. What a paid plan adds is time and depth: a longer history, a comparison with the period before, where people came from, and who saved you.
Can I add photos, a story, beans on bar and events?
Yes. Specialty Atlas is built for profiles that feel alive: gallery photos, a real café or roastery story, the beans currently on your bar, events and cuppings, your own recipes, and the details that help a guest decide whether your place fits their route. You get a toolkit for reaching new guests and talking to them in a way that sounds like your place, not like a directory entry.
How does this help roasteries, not only cafés?
Roasteries publish their full line-up with origin, process, flavour profile and the details that matter, plus their own official recipes. Drinkers see where each lot is on bar, Atlas Lab puts your beans in front of people whose taste they match, and followers hear about a new bean the day you add it. It is a path from the story of a coffee to the café pouring it to the person who will actually care about it.
Do I need to install anything?
No. Business runs in a browser. On a phone you can add it to your home screen and it behaves like an app — bottom navigation, sheets, full screen. The iOS and Android app is the one your guests install.
