Coffee machines come in a huge variety in these days that choosing the right one for your office can be a real headache. You serve fresh coffee, instant drinks, fully automatic or self-managed money or free vend? And what is with cold drinks, you should stick with cool water or going to sales systems or syrup-based computer?
The election office of a coffee machine is not like the choice of a photocopier. Vending machines require daily cleaning and disinfectinga certain member of staff and regular maintenance of professional engineers. The ingredients must be harvested every day and ordered the cash portion is increased and deliveries in advance.
Your choice should wish originally on the number of employees to serve with the machine, which, taking into account the extra drinks from visitors and customers want. A rule of thumb is 3 hot drinks a day, and employees to take over, if he paid for the drinks themselves(Coin-controlled), or two if you intend to use the machine on free-vend! If, in fact, there are now hybrid cars, which allow you to offer employees as many free drinks per day and also that they are required to pay, but will leave most of the discussion with the seller of the firm of drinks.
If you requested a ball park figure for the number of drinks per day, the next thing to decide whether to go for coffee or tea and instant drinks. Machineryserve instant coffee, tea and chocolate drinks are the cheapest to buy, service and maintenance, and served at a lower cost per cup for each beverage. Fresh Brew The option provides a great tasting drink, but usually need much more in the nature of the operation and daily maintenance. With the latter option, a member of staff can be trained to look after the basic tasks of maintenance of the machine, but it is likely, perhaps to take up to an hour a day of their time.
Next thingdecide whether to go on general sale, or having employees and visitors pay for their drinks. Vend Free is a great joy to offer to your employees and visitors, but it is obviously considerable cost, even if you can improve productivity because they find it particularly since the wait time to avoid a kettle to boil, stop, pubs etc which would otherwise be the case could be. Coin-controlled versions, you can also vend price for the cost of the machine, maintenance and ingredients to break or cover Septemberperhaps make a profit. (Make sure not to pay VAT or sales tax on the sale price of beverages, like many companies, to forget).
Most models have a soda machine to pass the change in management between the free sale and supply of controlled medal - this is a very useful feature, and many companies are choosing to move to free sale for the first hour of appetizers and workers but have control standard coin during normal business hours to reward the most dedicated and punctualStaff.
Perhaps the last thing to consider first is the position of the beverage company. It obviously depends on the layout of your office. Want a central main building, where all beverages are of a larger car, or perhaps have served two or three smaller machines in convenient locations?
Many companies decide to cooperate for the second more informal approach, perhaps with different species, pour coffee machinesfresh water. This also has advantages and disadvantages - Many companies will provide free coffee drinks loan until you buy coffee from them, could lead to a favorable option, but this is balanced by a drink and limited the potential for theft.
In summary, there is a wide selection available for choosing the location of vending machines. However, it is best four things to consider before starting the business.
1 / The approximate number of drinksserved daily
2 / instant coffee or just
3 / Free vend or coin control
4 / position and access to the machine.
In agreement with these things, you are in a much better position if you ask for quotes from local dealers start machine suppliers.
