How To Pick An Office Coffee Service Supplier

By Mia Kent


Coffee is a hot beverage that is consumed by very many people all over the world. It is a stimulant that awakens the sleepy mind. This drink can be taken at different times of the day. In work places, it is mostly taken during breaks as it helps in keeping the employees alert. Deciding on an office coffee service provider should be done carefully as it may affect the performance of the workers if the drink is not good.

When selecting a supplier, it is important to take the preferences of the employees into consideration. Asking them verbally or issuing questionnaires can help in collecting information that will be very useful in the final selection of a supplier. Normally, there will be more than one supplier, this makes it important to choose one from them. The information acquired from the consumers will help in making this decision.

Decision making should involve both the amount and type of product desired. Depending on the buyer's ability, the type purchased can be decided upon. Excellent type will cost more. However, when purchases are made in bulk it will bring down cost of purchase. Cost of delivering the drinks to the consumers will affect the final cost of the product. Hiring a locally available supplier would help to reduce cost. Local arrangements on payments can also be made between the buyer and seller if they come from the same place and have a good relationship.

Making hot beverages in offices requires the use of equipment meant for that purpose. One should inquire whether such equipment are to be provided. The type of equipment to be provided also matters a lot. High quality equipment will make very good drinks. They will not break down often and thus maintenance cost and interruptions from lack of beverages will be low. A supplier with such equipment should be preferred over one with old and cheap equipment.

Sometimes, one may run out of ingredients used to make that nice cup of coffee. In such cases, having a supplier who can quickly supply another stock of the missing items would be very efficient. Finding out how long it takes the supplier to deliver stock on short notice will help in determining which one is most efficient.

One of the easiest, quickest and reliable methods of assessing the services of a provider is to ask others about them. This can be done by communicating with other workers who have been served by the same provider. During the interviewing stage, ask all the potential suppliers to provide their references. If they have been doing a good job for others, then most likely they will do a better one for the new client.

It is best to remain flexible with the provider one has. In case of dissatisfaction with the services and products being provided, one can easily pull out and find another one. This will be possible if a written agreement was not signed at the beginning. In case one must sign a written agreement, the duration of the services should be as short as possible. If the services are good, they can be extended.

Picking an office coffee service provider for the work place is an activity that should be done keenly. Making the correct choice will result in happy employees. This should be done by considering the interests of both the buyer and consumers of the product.
