Client Overview

Grey Gum Café, a well-known biker café in Sydney, is popular among motorcycle enthusiasts due to its prime location on a highly frequented bike trail. Despite its reputation, the café's remote location posed logistical challenges, particularly in selling branded merchandise and apparel. Grey Gum Café collaborated with Infinikey Solutions to develop a comprehensive mobile app and e-commerce strategy to overcome these barriers and expand beyond its physical premises.

Challenges

Grey Gum Café faced two significant challenges:

• Limited Transportation for Merchandise: The café's remote setting made it inconvenient for customers—particularly bikers with limited space—to carry purchased merchandise.
• Expanding Customer Base and Sales: Grey Gum Café wanted to boost apparel sales and attract a broader customer base beyond on-site visitors. Achieving these goals proved difficult without an online presence or a mobile app.
