A controlled drop-off coffee service delivered inside the Microsoft Experience Centre, designed to support a corporate event without on-site staffing.
Structured to maintain presentation, supply control, and guest experience without live service teams.
When you are delivering a self-service coffee setup, the risk is not the drinks. The risk is whether the setup holds once guests begin serving themselves.
Without proper planning, self-service setups run out of stock, become disorganised, or lose presentation quickly. We structured the setup so it could hold throughout the event.
With no on-site team, there is no one to fix issues in real time. That means everything must be correct before delivery. We built the setup to operate independently.
Even without staff, the setup reflects the client’s brand. A poorly arranged coffee station reduces the perceived quality of the event. We treated the setup as a visible part of the experience.
Self-service environments often lead to uneven usage. Without planning, some guests miss out. We built buffer stock into the system to prevent shortages.
Microsoft required a drop-off coffee and tea service for a corporate event at their London Experience Centre. The setup needed to support 40 attendees with no on-site staff while maintaining quality, presentation, and ease of use.
We provided coffee, tea, milk, sugar, and vegan options for all attendees.
Everything was structured so guests could serve themselves without assistance.
The result was a clean and simple service experience.
The event required no on-site catering staff.
This meant every part of the setup had to be correct before delivery.
The system was built to function independently once in place.
We arranged carafes, thermoses, cups, and condiments in a clean, organised layout.
The setup acted as a focal point within the event space.
This helped support networking and guest interaction.
To prevent shortages, we supplied more than the minimum required quantities.
This ensured all guests had access throughout the event.
The setup held without interruption.
Delivering a drop-off coffee service requires full control before the event begins. Here is how we executed from planning through setup.

Jude prepared a detailed proposal covering drinks, quantities, and pricing, which Microsoft approved quickly.
Axel and Lydia calculated quantities based on guest count and service format using prior café data.
