For roasters · Café introductions
Wholesale café accounts, qualified before the first call.
RoastBridge introduces your roastery to independent US cafés within your delivery range whose owners have told us directly that they want the conversation. You know what the café is looking for before you speak to them.
Who it’s for
Wholesale coffee roasters with capacity for new café accounts who would rather spend their time roasting than finding cafés that are open to switching and within delivery range.
What we confirm about each café
- We’ve spoken to the owner directly before you hear the café’s name.
- The café is within your delivery or shipping range.
- What the owner is looking for, in their own words, and that you’ve confirmed you can supply it.
- The owner is open to tasting new coffee and wants the conversation.
We confirm essentials such as timing, volume and delivered budget as the fit develops. Anything we can’t confirm is marked as unknown, not assumed to fit.
What we ask from you
- Where you can deliver or ship, and how much new wholesale volume you can take on.
- Your wholesale offer: coffees, minimums, delivered pricing and payment terms.
- Your sample terms (free or charged), and how quickly you can get samples to a café. We tell the café before the introduction.
- The support you provide, such as barista training or equipment help, and any limits on fit.
How it works
- You tell us about your roastery through the form below or by email.
- We agree the fee and qualification criteria in a signed one-page agreement.
- When a café fits, we confirm it with both sides and send a written, briefed introduction.
- You send samples directly to the café, on the terms you gave us. Tasting comes before any supply terms.
- Every engagement starts with one introduction. If it works, we keep sourcing cafés in your area, one introduction at a time.
What it costs
Each café introduction is a $1,500 sourcing fee, paid upfront, before the introduction. The fee and the criteria a café must meet are set in a signed one-page agreement before you pay, and we tell you what was confirmed about the café first. The café also pays RoastBridge a sourcing fee, and we tell you this before any introduction. Joining our list or sending us your details doesn’t authorize a charge.
If we emailed you before November 4, 2026 and said there was nothing to pay upfront, that still applies to you: nothing upfront, $750 when the introduced café places its first order, plus $750 if it reorders within 90 days. See the terms.
If an introduction clearly misses a criterion we agreed, tell us what was missed. We recheck the fit and look for a replacement where one is available. If none is available and you tell us within 30 days of the introduction, your $1,500 fee is refunded, less any payment-processing fees we were charged (such as Stripe’s).
What we don’t do
- We don’t share your name with a café until both sides have agreed to the introduction.
- We aren’t party to your supply agreement; pricing, minimums and terms are agreed directly with the café.
- We don’t guarantee a meeting, a sale or a particular volume.
