We've designed our coffee cart with practicality, mobility and efficiency in mind, prioritising logistics and transit.

The cart is crafted to fit through standard doors or lifts during transit, ensuring accessibility and flexibility. It measures approximately 0.7m x 0.9m x 1.1m (L x W x H) whilst in transit. It weighs approximately 150kg.

During setup, the cart's footprint is just 1.8m x 1.4m (W x D), providing ample space for our baristas to operate while remaining compact enough to fit into a variety of event spaces.

Check out our coffee cart hire for for more information.

We take great pride in our ability to provide quick and hassle-free setup for our coffee cart.

Unlike a coffee van, its mobility allows us to pop-up in any event space, serving coffee before you know it.

With our experienced team, we can have the cart up and running within an hour of arriving on-site.

Similarly, after service, we can efficiently pack down and leave the site within 45 minutes.

It's important to note that our pricing is all-inclusive, with no hidden fees for logistics or labor.

We understand that the aesthetics and visuals need to be on-point on event day.

Our baristas come dressed in full hospitality blacks and are fitted with our black Coffee on Cue apron for a professional look.

We recognise the importance of a seamless event experience, and we believe that maintaining a consistent look and feel throughout the event is crucial.

That's why we're more than happy to wear uniforms that complement the aesthetic of our coffee cart and the overall event theme. It's just one of the ways we strive to ensure your event's success.

We believe that great tasting coffee and efficient service are the cornerstones of imppecable coffee service.

That's why we serve our coffees in our very own branded 6oz cups.

This allows us to serve high volume efficiently, whilst maintaining a consistently delicious beverage.

We understand the importance of reducing waste at events.

We're proud to be using a range of compostable and recyclable products to help us achieve as little waste production as possible.

All of our Coffee On Cue branded single-use coffee cups and lids, along with our cold coffee cups and lids, supplied from BioPak, are certified industrially compostable to AS4736 Australian Standards.

Our cold coffee straws are certified home compostable to NF T51-800 European Standards.

Our custom branded coffee cups are recyclable.

Our coffee bags are 100% soft plastic recyclable.

We recognise the growing need in reducing our waste at events, which is why we offer a range of sustainably-minded options for events.

We offer Good-Edi edible cups in replacement for our compostable Coffee On Cue single-use cups.

We're also happy to employ a 'lid-less' service to reduce our waste even further.

Our branded panels can be re-used at future events, along with any leftover custom cups which helps to minimise our printing and production volume.

Where possible, we also use coffee buckets to transport our coffee and limit the amount of coffee bags we use (also recyclable), plus we've also got liquid sugar syrup at our carts, reducing the single-serve sachets of the past.

Learn more about our sustainability initiatives.

We understand the importance of having a cohesive look and feel for your event, and we want to ensure that our services align with your vision.

If you would like to provide us with cups that match your desired aesthetic, we would be more than happy to use them. It's worth noting that our system works best with take-away cups.

We understand that sometimes branded cups or edible cups aren't the top priority on the agenda.

That's why the standard cups we use are our own Coffee On Cue branded 6oz cups and lids, supplied from BioPak, and are certified industrially compostable to AS4736 Australian Standards.

Good-Edi cups are edible coffee cups that help event organisers reduce their single-use products.

They are made primarily from a combination of wheat, oats and grains.

They aren't gluten-free but are 100% edible and biodegradable, meaning this is a great option for waste-free events.

It's important that any cup we use to serve our coffee in doesn't affect the overall taste or experience of our coffee.

Good-Edi edible cups are tasteless and don't alter the flavour of any beverage, whether that be coffee, tea, hot chocolate or chai.

We require access to standard 10A domestic power sockets on-site to power our regular coffee carts.

We take pride in being self-sufficient and providing our own water supply for each event.

However, having access to a water source on-site can be beneficial for filling our tanks and cleaning up after the service.
