Coffee carts have become a prominent trend in the events industry across the world, helping to elevate the attendee experience with barista made coffee paired with impeccable service. From corporate events in Sydney, to conferences and sporting events in Melbourne, in Australia coffee carts continue to be a proven method to bring people together at events.
When attendees arrive to an event, their first stop is always the coffee cart. It's where guests can mingle and connect over their favourite coffee beverages whilst having banter over the coffee machine with the barista - all without ever having to leave the event venue to find a drink elsewhere.
There are many factors to consider when selecting the perfect coffee cart hire service, some of which include:
When deciding on a supplier, it's important understand what will best suit your event or your clients requirements.
For a long time coffee vans had been popular for events, however a shift towards portable, mobile coffee carts has seen a shift given their ability to be transported and set up with ease in any given space.
Whether it be a conference or private party, where there is mobile coffee, there's generally delicious food to go with it. It could be something sweet to go with a coffee, or a complete food menu with savoury bites included too. What's most important is to provide plenty of options for your guests to ensure their needs are met.
Coffee carts often come with a range of theming options, helping to create the right mood and tie in the overall event aesthetic.
A branded cart is the perfect way to draw the attention of your guests to the cart with a specific message.
A themed coffee cart is a simple and stylish way to dress it up to match the rest of the visual elements.
Some carts include a machine sitting on top of a stainless steel bench top. While this can provide an industrial-type look, it's important to check the dimensions of the machine and bench to ensure it can fit into your floor plan.
Obtaining and supplying as much detail as possible to the coffee cart hire company prior to the event can help to ensure success on the day.
If it's a major event, consider providing an event briefing document complete with run-sheets, key contacts and any site protocol for access during bump-in and bump-out.
Each venue is a little different, and getting access in and out can be tricky. Some vendors tow their coffee carts on a trailer whilst others operate their equipment and carts from a van.
Coffee carts that are constructed with a modular design ensure that getting in and out of venues is seamless and hassle-free.
It's important to understand how a coffee cart supplier works and what the capacity is for the venue.
Ensuring that each coffee machine, fridge and piece of electrical equipment is tested and tagged is a priority before allowing any hire company to work on site in a venue.
Coffee carts are a great way to grab attention and stimulate interest in your events. Branded coffee carts and coffee cups can act as powerful advertising tools, helping to promote your event and sponsors across multiple marketing channels.
Whether it be a coffee cart down by the Sydney harbour, or inside of an iconic building in the heart of the Melbourne CBD, promoting the whereabouts of your event and coffee cart through social media channels can be an easy way to create buzz and hype surrounding your event.
Investing in a mobile coffee cart in Sydney or Melbourne can be a big outlay. Storage costs aren't cheap, plus add to that sourcing the product and barista just to get it operational. When it comes to coffee carts, it's best to rent and leave it up to the professionals so that you can focus solely on hosting an amazing event.
Today, it's more important than ever to consider the impact of mobile coffee carts on the planet. Recyclable and compostable single-use products have now become the norm when it comes to event coffee cart sustainability in Melbourne and Sydney.
