Whether it’s a garden centre, furniture showroom, farm shop, dealership, retail park or department store, a high-quality coffee offering changes how customers experience the environment. A well-designed coffee space signals to customers that the environment is a space that is worth spending time in rather than just passing through. This shift is especially important within the modern retail space, since the high street is competing against online retail on price and convenience. Choosing the right commercial coffee machine and the right coffee solution matched to volume, space, staffing and peak trading periods, is fundamental to delivering the experience retail customers now expect. Coffee as Part of the Retail ExperienceThe most forward-thinking retailers no longer treat coffee as an adjacent catering operation.
