  2. 2

    Confirm the Venue Requirements

    Provide details about loading access, available floor space, indoor or outdoor placement, power access and water access. This helps determine whether a generator, independent water supply or compact coffee station is required.

    Select espresso drinks, filter coffee, cold brew, iced coffee or nitro coffee, which is cold brew infused with nitrogen. Decaffeinated coffee, dairy-free alternatives, pastries and light snacks can also be included.

  4. 4

    Select the Setup and Branding

    Choose a standard mobile bar, office station, wedding coffee cart or branded activation stand. Branding can be added to cups, menus, the coffee cart and barista uniforms where required.

    Approve the Final Service Plan

    Confirm the number of stations, service hours, drinks, equipment, cups, baristas, setup time and breakdown arrangements. Book large events 4 to 6 weeks ahead, while smaller bookings may be arranged 1 to 2 weeks ahead, subject to availability.
