What the best-rated cafes near you say on their own websites
The best-rated cafes near you, read from their own websites every Monday.
What it does
Every Monday: the four best-rated independent cafes in your city, each one’s own website read by a real browser (Saturday hours, what it sells online, its cheapest bag of beans, what it promotes and any news), then one short brief by xMap AI on what they have in common and where there is an opening.
In one sentence: Mondays at 08:00, in London, find coffee shops in the area, read each one’s own website in a browser, write a report with xMap AI, then email the list to you and show them on a map.
Why it is useful
The cafes customers rate highest say on their own sites what they sell, when they open and what they push. Reading four sites every week by hand never happens; this brief does it for you.

The time it saves
Mondays at 08:00. Doing the same work by hand takes about 60 minutes each time; it runs about 4 times a month, so it saves about 4 hours a month (an estimate). It is medium: 7 blocks.
