Event coffee catering: 5 ways quality coffee keeps delegates coming back!

In the events world, quality in every aspect of planning and executing an event is crucial in order to stand out from the crowd. That’s why at Social Espresso, quality is at the very heart of what we do. These days coffee drinkers demand more from their daily brew, the flavours have to be consistently great, well balanced and every cup has to be poured to perfection. A warming cup of coffee is relied upon to kick start your delegates day or give them a little well needed boost during an afternoon slog! This is why it’s not just the taste that matters, but also superior customer service. From first being greeted by a friendly barista to receiving the all important brew in their hands, your clientele will need to walk away feeling positive about your brand! Here’s a list of 5 ways our top quality event coffee catering will keep delegates coming back:

1. Spread the word: delegates will tell their colleagues and friends about your stand!

Having great coffee will ensure that your stand is talk of the exhibition or event. After all, a quality cup of coffee is definitely worth talking about! Word of mouth can spread quickly and before no time you’ll have crowds of people queuing at your stand. This increased footfall of course allows your team to do what they do best and showcase what makes your company great. Our branding options such as branded cups, can also help with this, as people will be taking your logo around the venue in their own hands for everyone to see!

2. People now want higher quality refreshments.

In 2023, coffee consumption is at an all time high! As the market is saturated with floods of brands offering higher quality coffee than ever before, naturally, the average consumer’s tastes have evolved. Gone are the days of being content with bitter, over roasted, bulk made coffee. We, of course, think this is a good thing! With a much higher expectation for top end refreshments, we have tailored our service (with years of experience event coffee catering) to ensure your delegates’ needs are more than satisfied. This means using seasonal specialty grade coffee beans that have been carefully selected and roasted by us, to maintain consistently great flavours all year round. It also means we train all of our baristas to brew our coffee to the highest standards possible, dialling in the espresso multiple times throughout the day to ensure it tastes just as fantastic first thing in the morning as it does at the very end of the day.

3. Customer Service is key!

It’s one thing to have top grade coffee on your stand, but without excellent customer service, your delegate’s experience can potentially be soured. That’s why the importance of customer service is at the very core of our process. We understand that as an extension of your team, we need to create an unforgettable experience in order to augment what you already have to offer! From maintaining a clean professional environment, to serving brews with a smile efficiently, and helping your team with whatever they need, we’ve got you covered. When you choose to work with Social Espresso, you can rest assured that when we talk about great coffee paired with customer service, we really mean it!

4. An impression that lasts: delegates never forget.

Yearly events come round fast, and it’s always nice to spot familiar faces in busy event halls. If your stand has made a great, lasting impression, it’s hard for potential clients to forget this. They’ll make sure to come back for more high quality coffee and in turn spark up important conversations. Our event coffee service can help to encourage these all important meet ups and drive more engagement when people interact with your stand.

5. Quality coffee at your stand helps you stand out!

With large scale events it’s easy to get overwhelmed with the number of stands and exhibitors. As everyone competes to win over the crowds, it’s great to give your own stand a boost with a quality barista service. Having additional staff on your stand who are there to make people feel welcome, will improve your delegates’ experience and will help you to stand out.
