Thanks! We based the program on the Indie Coffee Passport<http://indiecoffeepassport.com/>, which is in its second (or third, maybe?) successful incarnation. We even approached them and asked them to run the program for us, but they declined since the ICP isn't even their full time focus. They have a complicated redemption process wherein the cafes get a portion of sales plus a portion of each coffee redemption, but since we were doing it ourselves we thought we'd pare it down and keep it simple. All funds go to marketing and other fun stuff and each participating space gets the value of showing their space and community to the new faces that come in as a result of it. r.
