A drinks menu may look strong on paper and still fail in execution. It has to suit the product, the guest, the pace of service, and the event environment. We built the L’or menu around flavour logic and live service practicality.
Hot Pickle asked Pearl Lemon Catering to manage espresso service for three L’or events and support the wider activation setup behind them. To do that well, the project required staff training, menu development, glassware sourcing, floorplan planning, drink execution, and live guest-facing service.
We supported the project from training through pop-up execution, covering menu thinking, layout input, service staffing, drink preparation, and guest-facing delivery.
This created one joined-up activation structure instead of isolated tasks.
The result was a service environment that could represent the L’or brand properly.
The brief included a full day of team training before the pop-up dates began.
That covered product knowledge, machine familiarity, drink execution, and the details needed to speak confidently about L’or espresso with guests.
This gave the team the knowledge base needed for a specialist branded event.
We developed a drinks menu that combined coffee cocktails, mocktails, and espresso-led serves with a clear rationale behind each one.
Axel built the menu direction, and Lydia mapped pod choices to drink profiles using the L’or flavour wheel.
This ensured each serve had both product logic and brand credibility.
The project also required glass and crockery sourcing, floorplan input, and ongoing coordination around setup and stock.
Lydia sourced and presented multiple glassware options, while the team also helped confirm the event layout for smoother movement and service.
This made the activation feel more controlled and polished on the day.
Running a branded espresso activation requires control across training, stock, layout, menu design, and live service. Here is how we executed from planning through event delivery.
By focusing on menu logic, training, and service planning, we delivered a branded coffee experience that led to further event opportunities.
By treating the project as a full branded service operation rather than a drinks brief, we protected both guest experience and brand standards.
By doing the hard work before the events began, we gave the team stronger control once service went live.
