On-demand specialty coffee platform built for Indonesia's urban market
Fore Coffee is a Jakarta-based coffee company operating a tech-enabled delivery and retail network around proprietary espresso blends. The stack reveals a logistics-first operation: Kafka, RabbitMQ, and AWS Lambda power backend services, while Android and Node.js support mobile ordering and store systems. Operations hiring (37 roles) vastly outpaces engineering (5), paired with active projects around store expansion, inventory control, and outlet performance — the hiring mix and pain-point pattern show a growth business hitting operational friction as it scales locations and supply chains.
Fore Coffee sources, roasts, and distributes specialty coffee across Indonesia, operating both on-demand delivery and physical retail locations. The company uses 100% Arabica beans in proprietary blends, emphasizing freshly roasted production. The tech stack—Node.js, PostgreSQL, Kafka, RabbitMQ, AWS infrastructure—supports order fulfillment, store management, and supply-chain coordination. With 51–200 employees based in Central Jakarta and active hiring in Indonesia and Canada, Fore is in mid-scale expansion, managing store site selection, vendor relationships, sourcing, and inventory as core operational priorities.
Backend: Node.js, TypeScript, PostgreSQL, AWS (RabbitMQ, Kafka, Lambda). Mobile: Android. Data: Power BI, Data Studio. Infrastructure: Docker, Terraform, CloudFormation, AWS RDS, Redis, Memcached. Operations: Odoo ERP.
