About Brick N Mort
One App for the Businesses in Your Neighborhood
Brick N Mort helps independent businesses build real, lasting relationships with the customers who already know them – without asking anyone to download yet another app.
The Company Behind the Platform
Built by ShareDev Technologies
Brick N Mort was created by ShareDev Technologies, an Atlanta-area software development company with experience building web applications, mobile platforms, cloud systems, and custom business technology.
Brick N Mort brings that experience together around one focused mission: helping independent businesses compete with larger brands through practical, affordable technology.
Where the Idea Came From
Inspired by 30 Years Behind the Bar
Brick N Mort started with an idea from Matthew Richards, our subject matter expert on customer loyalty, who has owned and operated a bar and grill in Tampa, Florida for more than 30 years. He’s seen it all – the slow Tuesdays, the sold-out Saturdays, the regulars who became family, and every marketing gimmick that came and went in between.
Matthew brought that experience directly into how Brick N Mort works: how a loyalty program should actually be structured, when a reward keeps someone coming back instead of feeling like a coupon, and what makes a regular feel like a regular. ShareDev Technologies built the platform. Matthew built the playbook it runs on.
Thirty years running a bar and grill. Every idea in Brick N Mort was tested behind a real bar first.
The Problem We Set Out to Solve
Why We Built Brick N Mort
After years of building custom software and working with businesses, we noticed the same conversation happening again and again. Independent businesses wanted better ways to stay connected with customers, but standalone mobile apps often created more friction than value.
Businesses were building separate apps. Customers were tired of downloads. Many of those apps were rarely opened after the first install. The real need wasn’t another app – it was a better way to earn repeat visits.
Customers weren’t being difficult. They were tired.
Nobody wants to install a new app for every coffee shop and boutique they visit. Meanwhile, neighborhood establishments were spending real time and money on tools their customers weren’t using, while the actual problem – getting customers to come back – went unsolved.
Brick N Mort was built around a different model: instead of asking customers to install another app, give them one app for the whole community – and give each participating business its own dedicated, fully branded experience inside it. Customers only have to say yes once. Every business still keeps its own identity.

Not Another Marketplace
Why We Didn’t Build Another Marketplace
Brick N Mort isn’t designed to place your business inside a generic marketplace where the platform owns the relationship. It’s designed to strengthen the direct connection between your business and your customers.
Your business keeps its identity. Your branding. Your own experience inside the app. Customers interact with your business directly – Brick N Mort simply provides the shared technology and the community connection that brings them to you.
Brick N Mort isn’t trying to replace your business with a marketplace. It is designed to strengthen the relationship between your business and your customers.
