Self-serve coffee-to-go machines for retail
Where a coffee-to-go station fits
Consider commuter visits, local repeat customers and shoppers looking for a drink alongside their purchase. Compare the offer with nearby coffee options and any drinks already sold in store.
How to assess daily coffee demand
Estimate what proportion of visitors might buy coffee and how that varies by time of day. Separate morning peaks from quieter trading periods and use realistic trading days when preparing a revenue forecast.
Space, access and installation
Keep the station visible without obstructing aisles, entrances or tills. Allow room to select a drink, prepare it and dispose of waste. Confirm how payment will work with your store's checkout and the proposed equipment.
Cleaning, refills and servicing
Plan cleaning and refill checks within existing shop routines. Confirm ingredient storage, payment fees, service terms and who handles a customer refund or machine fault. Include these costs in the business case.
Which Coffee2Go concept should you consider?
Beanology offers illy On The Go, L'OR To Go and a customisable Beanology concept. Compare the drinks experience, installation needs, commercial agreement and support for your location. Brand preference alone does not establish the right machine or guarantee sales.
