A coffee revolution is upon us, with a significant number of pubs, bars, restaurants and hotels in the UK already investing in the latest coffee vending machines to keep their customers and staff happy with high-quality beverages at the touch of a button.
Placing a state-of-the-art vending machine within your establishment no longer needs to cost the earth, with a range of affordable renting and leasing options available, allowing for greater flexibility and cost-effectiveness than ever before.
Here, we discuss several advantages of investing in a commercial coffee machine for your hospitality business.
- Flexibility
Renting or leasing a commercial coffee or vending machine provides the most flexible option for businesses of all types and sizes operating within the hospitality or events sector. Our needs change frequently, which is why these packages offer better versatility than purchasing a machine outright, since we can upgrade, change the machine, extend the lease agreement or simply stop it altogether.
Perhaps your business is growing at a fast rate and you need a bigger machine to handle the drinks output required? Or maybe you want to try out a different style of machine or an alternative brand? Whatever the reason may be, renting and leasing is a sensible option for those who do not wish to be tied down by one machine indefinitely.
- Affordability
The upfront costs of purchasing a modern vending machine is not something that a large number of small business owners can afford to do, so many tend to go down the leasing or rental routes. These packages allow the cost of the machine to be spread out over a fixed period, paying in set monthly instalments. This means business owners know exactly what they are spending on the machine each month, allowing them to plan ahead and budget accordingly.
If your hospitality business is charging customers and staff to use the machines, then you may begin to notice a return on investment if it is used frequently, since the purchase costs of beverages tend to offset the monthly leasing or rental charges.
- Ease of use
Providing guests, customers and staff with high-quality coffee does not need to be complicated, nor does it require barista-level training. With the latest hi-tech coffee machines, excellent beverages are available at just the touch of a button, and most have the ability to create hundreds of different varieties of hot drink, catering to a wide range of customer tastes.
Moreover, most suppliers these days will be able to offer a full-service package on any machine, which will include training, installation and maintenance, making the rental or leasing agreement as stress-free as can be.
- A good cup of Joe!
95 million cups of coffee are consumed daily here in the UK, proving that we are a nation of coffee lovers! As such, poor quality instant coffee will no longer cut it. Contemporary commercial coffee machines are semi or fully automatic and capable of producing fantastic, bespoke beverages that will certainly rival any local coffee shop (and without the hefty price tag)!
So what are you waiting for? Treat your customers and staff today by investing in one of the latest machines on the market.
