For Cape Town venues

Partner with us

Apha helps the right customers discover when and how to use your venue for work — quiet hours, real Wi-Fi speeds, plug availability, and an honest verdict, checked in person and dated, that students and remote workers already trust before they walk in.

What venues gain

  • A listing built from an actual founder visit, not a self-submitted form nobody checks
  • The exact facts laptop workers filter by — Wi-Fi speed, plugs, noise, laptop policy — verified in person and dated
  • Foot traffic in your genuinely slow hours, not more competition for your busy ones
  • A direct correction channel the moment a fact changes, so your listing never quietly goes stale
  • No fee to be listed, visited, reviewed, or kept up to date
  • A single editorially independent source — neither you nor Apha can quietly inflate it

What we need

  • About ten minutes on-site for a founder visit — no forms, no paperwork to fill in
  • Accurate current opening hours, and a heads-up before they change
  • One contact we can reach for a correction or a follow-up visit
  • Honesty about laptop policy and Wi-Fi, even when the honest answer is "not really"
  • Patience with the verdict once it's published — it's independent, not negotiable

How a venue moves through the journal

  1. 01
    ListedOn the map as a candidate — not yet visited, nothing verified yet.
  2. 02
    Facts verifiedA founder visited in person and confirmed hours, Wi-Fi, plugs, and laptop policy.
  3. 03
    Apha-friendlyFacts verified, and the venue scores well for at least one real use case — with no influence over rating.

Straight answers

Can we remove a negative review?
No. But any fact that's wrong gets corrected promptly — the fair opinion built on top of the facts stays editorially independent, and your response is recorded alongside it.
Can we pay for a better score?
No. Payment can buy visibility — a clearly labelled sponsored placement — never a score, a verdict, or a fact.
What happens if our hours or Wi-Fi change?
Tell us and we'll update it. An out-of-date fact serves nobody, least of all you.
Is there anything ongoing we have to manage?
No — no dashboard, no report to file. If nothing's changed, you won't hear from us; tell us when something does and we do the rest.

How verification works

  1. 1.A founder visits in person, unannounced, as a genuine customer would
  2. 2.Wi-Fi speed, plug availability, and noise are measured on-site, not asked about over email
  3. 3.Laptop policy and any restrictions are confirmed directly with staff
  4. 4.Photos are taken of the real working space — never a marketing shot
  5. 5.Every fact is dated at the moment it's checked, so it can go stale honestly rather than silently

No dashboard to log into, no monthly report to file, no account to manage. If nothing has changed, you will never hear from us — the facts just age quietly on the page until a founder's next visit refreshes them.
