It's safe to say that coffee helps make the world go round. Globally, coffee consumption accounts for 169.34 million bags as of the 2019/2020 growing season. Moreover, demand is still increasing, meaning that very few people don't enjoy a quality cup of Joe in the morning (and the afternoon).
But, just because one enjoys a cup of brown doesn't mean they have to pay high prices for craft coffee drinks. Even better, one doesn't have to go to a coffee shop barista to get their signature brew.
A far better and more efficient option is a Concordia Automatic Coffee and Espresso Machine. If your business is looking for an affordable and easy way to deliver craft coffee to your customers, guests, or employees, this machine can do it all.
In A Business Setting
A happy worker is a motivated and productive worker. The average office employee drinks up to 1,000 cups of coffee per year, or a little less than three cups per day. While you could put a standard coffee machine in the break room, it's much better to offer high-quality coffee as a perk. This way, your staff members spend less at the coffee shop and feel recognized for their efforts. Little efforts like this can go a long way toward building your bottom line.
Better yet, you can put something like either the Concordia Integra or Xpress in a lobby or waiting room. Then, when clients come to visit, you can wow them with some incredibly high-class coffee instead of brown water with some sugar packets. These machines are also self-serve for added customization and convenience.
Elevate Your Restaurant
Whether you're a fast-casual or a sit-down restaurant, you want to be able to accommodate your customers as quickly and efficiently as possible. An automatic coffee machine allows you to offer better beverage options, such as espresso-based drinks. Even better, because the device is so quick, employees can get more orders done in less time, helping your kitchen run as smoothly as possible. In most cases, the coffee is ready in 30 seconds.
Alternatively, you can go the self-service route, put the Concordia Xpress in the front of the house, and allow guests to get their own cups. However, you have to be careful to avoid messes, which can deter customers from using the machine.
Putting The Convenience In C-Stores
Coffee is a staple of convenience stores and gas stations. Usually, the most common customer is the one on the way to work or looking for a quick boost. These days, consumers are used to high-end coffee selections, complete with customizable ingredients such as flavor syrups, sugars, and creamers. Now, you can lean into this expectation by offering world-class coffee at the touch of a button.
Machines like the Concordia Ascent and the Xpress empower customers to create their own blends without hassling with filters or coffee grounds. They can simply navigate through the machine's user-friendly menu, and they'll be on their way in no time. Best of all, you don't need additional employees to man the device, making it a valuable revenue source.
Expand Your Hospitality
Although demand for the hospitality industry is booming right now, hotels face stiff competition, especially as a worker shortage forces brands to tighten their belts. Fortunately, you don't have to skimp on guest perks, thanks to automatic coffee machines like the Xpress or the Xpress Touch. If you're short-staffed, these devices can make your breakfast station stand out without adding any extra overhead. Plus, guests will appreciate the higher quality, the option of getting a hot or iced coffee, and be more likely to come back again and again.
