PICKUP COFFEE aimed to strengthen its tech and data capabilities to support rapid nationwide expansion. As a tech-enabled coffee chain founded in 2022 and now operating 400+ stores nationwide, the company needed to scale its workforce strategically while maintaining high talent standards in Manila. Their goal was to bring in top-tier product, data, and growth experts who could drive operational excellence, digital transformation, and sustainable growth across all locations.
