- Wow, your guests with a professional in-house barista who can serve up well-crafted coffee tailored to their taste buds. No more instant coffee with subpar taste, tedious setups and messy clean-ups!
- Give your guests a space to catch a break and keep them energised.
- Promote your brand or event with a branded coffee cart, which is a fantastic way to draw a crowd at an expo or festival.
Researching coffee cart suppliers in your area and having a clear brief is a vital first step. You may like to have a chat with the owner before locking in the booking as well as the barista before the event starts. If possible, you may like to try out some of their coffee blends or even attend another event the coffee cart will be present.
This goes without saying, but proactively communicating with the barista before and during the event will ensure that the whole day goes smoothly, just like your coffee. Let your barista know what’s happening on the day, such as the times they are expected to arrive and leave, as well as the actual service time. Provide them with a run sheet or agenda if you have times where you want coffee service to be paused, such as speeches or performances. This will help the barista will work around your event to make sure no one misses out on their coffee!
The good news is that coffee carts and vans can work with most event spaces indoors and outdoors. Check with the supplier before your book as to their requirements, as most coffee carts will need access to power. You will also need to consider the area of the space for queues and the coffee cart itself, as well as any branding you may have.
Event logistics can cause the most organised person to panic, especially if you have multiple suppliers bumping in. Ensure that you provide your barista with all the important details to make setting up and packing up an efficient process. You can have the option of getting your coffee cart all set up and ready to go before the event or while the event is happening. Allow half an hour for your coffee cart to be set up as the coffee machine will need to be heated up.
Make your event pop with a branded coffee cart, including branded coffee cups, clothing and signage. A little effort goes a long way as guests will often spend some time hanging around the coffee cart waiting or consuming their coffee. If you are organising a tradeshow or corporate function, you can even offer up the coffee cart to be branded by one of your corporate sponsors.
