IRVINE, CA – PRESS Coffee, the beloved Arizona-based specialty coffee brand known for its award-winning brews and commitment to quality, has chosen NorthStar Order Entry, the restaurant technology solution developed by CBS NorthStar, as its official point-of-sale (POS) partner as it embarks on its next phase of growth.
Founded in 2008, PRESS Coffee has grown from a single location to a thriving, multi-unit brand that has become synonymous with exceptional coffee experiences across Arizona. As the brand continues to scale, the team sought a technology platform that could match its high standards for quality, efficiency, and guest experience, which led them to NorthStar.
“NorthStar’s adaptability, intuitive design, and infrastructure made them the clear choice,” said Alex Mason, Co-Owner of PRESS Coffee. “We’ve always believed that great coffee deserves great systems behind the scenes. NorthStar gives us the ability to grow with confidence without compromising the experience at the counter or in the cup.”
The NorthStar solution offers a single, powerful solution for order entry, payments, reporting, and enterprise management, customizable to the operational flow of each location. NorthStar is designed to be adaptable to the unique needs of each operation. With real-time insights and a user-friendly interface, it empowers operators and staff to focus more on service and less on system limitations.
“We’re thrilled to partner with PRESSCoffee as they continue to grow,” said Jeremy Julian, CRO of CBS NorthStar. “They’re a brand that blends passion, precision, and personality, and we’re excited to support that vision with technology that’s just as thoughtful and innovative.”
As PRESS Coffee continues to expand its footprint and deliver exceptional guest experiences, CBS NorthStar will serve as a dedicated technology partner, equipping its team with the tools, data, and support needed to fuel sustainable growth. Together, the two companies are brewing something bigger than coffee: a shared commitment to innovation, hospitality, and operational excellence.
About PRESS Coffee
Founded in 2008 by Steve Kraus and Tram Mai, PRESS Coffee began as a passion project to deliver specialty coffee when “good enough” wasn’t cutting it. What started with a single shop through challenging economic times has grown into an Arizona institution with 19 cafés and counting, but their roots remain the same.
PRESS Coffee is quality-driven and community-focused. They source top-tier beans, roast fresh in-house daily, utilize cutting-edge equipment, and hire team members who are as committed to flavor and craftsmanship as they are. They are not just about coffee, they are about impact. Each year they host a “Day of Giving,” donating 100% of profits to local nonprofits. When opening a new location, they celebrate by offering $1 drip coffees, with all proceeds benefiting the community.
