Organizing coffee in the office is very simple. However, if you've been working with coffee machines, coffee, and coffee-related IT solutions for many years, you forget that some people may not know the basics. This was reminded to me by the article \"How many programmers does it take to drink a cup of coffee?<\/a><\/noindex>\u00bb. <\/p>\n

In any profession, there is a special kind of immersion and professional deformation. To feel it, try to remember what it was like when you didn\u2019t know how to read. Therefore, I seemingly repeat obvious things for myself, but it turns out to be a revelation for many. The purpose of the article below is to explain how to build a coffee business for offices. <\/p>\n

\"How
\n<\/p>\n

The foundation of the coffee business, regardless of its location<\/h3>\n

\nAny project can have external customers and internal ones. When you organize a coffee point at a gas station, a mobile salon, or a shopping center, you focus on external customers. When creating a coffee area in the office, you use all the same organizational principles but adjust them slightly based on the conditions set by your internal customer. <\/p>\n

The first coffee rule<\/b> is that you cannot compromise on the quality of coffee. A recognizable, consistent good taste over a long period is needed. This goal is achieved just like when selling coffee in advanced gas station chains \u2013 with a good automatic coffee machine, a well-chosen coffee bean blend, and monitoring the technical state of the coffee area. This is the foundation of the coffee business.
\n<\/a><\/noindex>
\n\"How
\nA coffee nook in the office<\/i><\/p>\n

In the article, programmers accurately grasped the 'customer' aspect of the question \u2013 tracking who drank how much, remembering preferred beverages, and prize draws. Absolutely the right line of thought. By the way, the direction of reasoning from the programmers in this company is correct; they even remembered prizes for every cup of coffee. <\/p>\n

Considering that the heroes are not yet \"experienced\" users of coffee machines, they are unaware of the technical aspect of the process \u2014 servicing coffee machines. Who will conduct maintenance, repair, within what timeframe and under what conditions? A stumbling block can be even a simple question: \"Who will clean the coffee machine's milk system daily?\" It's a trivial task that takes 10-15 minutes, but every day. You can assign it to the office manager, appoint a duty person, or neglect it and lose the ability to enjoy cappuccino and latte in a few months. <\/p>\n

Or, for example, the coffee machine needs to be cleaned with special agents, which also need to be purchased; otherwise, you\u2019ll end up with coffee made using dish soap. The cost of special chemicals is trivial \u2013 12 rubles a day, but how many times have masters had to clean machines from the consequences of saving on consumables\u2026 <\/p>\n

I am giving simple examples; in reality, the monitoring system accounts for over 400 parameters of the equipment's operation. A coffee machine is complex and expensive equipment, for which the manufacturer prescribes numerous regulatory operations aimed at preventing possible equipment failures. Good professional equipment is designed for decades of operation, provided it receives proper technical maintenance. <\/p>\n

The foundation of a strong coffee business for coffee sales is an automatic coffee machine, a carefully selected coffee blend, and a comprehensive set of IT solutions aimed at preventive maintenance of the equipment. <\/p>\n

The three pillars of the coffee business<\/h3>\n

\nIf all of the above seems difficult and you really want to outsource the coffee issue to a contractor, here\u2019s some not-so-reassuring news. The technical realities of the world do not change for the contractor either, but they will solve them at your expense, and not always in the most optimal way. This has been verified at thousands of coffee points that are connected to our coffee machine monitoring system. If you want to have delicious coffee, you need to keep all key issues in your hands. We identify the pitfalls on the path of office coffee lovers.<\/p>\n

Choosing a coffee machine<\/h4>\n

\nFirst of all, you need to choose the coffee machine yourself, based on your own criteria.
\nThe main criterion is automatic coffee preparation. Neither electric turks nor professional coffee machines for cafes are suitable for the office. This was understood by the programmers, but then they left the situation to the discretion of an enterprising lady who offered them what on a lease? History does not reveal that. Four buttons executing 51 commands provide information that means nothing. Korean and Chinese machines have a plethora of buttons that can be pressed with great enthusiasm, yet they don't affect the operation of the coffee machine. Italian coffee machine manufacturers represent a story with many unknowns. Only 3-4 well-known brands remain, but they seem to be 'above average' price-wise at first glance. <\/p>\n

You won't even need to spend 30 minutes learning how to use an automatic coffee machine. <\/p>\n

Choosing a coffee blend<\/h4>\n

\nSecondly, the quality of the coffee blend affects the taste of the coffee. It's hard to argue with this statement. I'm almost certain that along with the long-term lease agreement, the authors also signed a clause stating that they would use the coffee blend provided by the owner of the coffee machine. (Otherwise, there's no point in leasing and renting). So they overlooked a key element that influences their coffee without a second thought. <\/p>\n

If the office manager is responsible for the coffee in the office coffee machine, they won't gain much either. A good coffee machine is tuned to a specific type of coffee blend. Ideally, settings should be adjusted monthly by a technician. If each kilogram of coffee comes from a new batch, from a new producer, then either the technician has to be called for adjustments, or you end up drinking a beverage with an unremarkable coffee taste. Additionally, what type of milk system does the coffee machine have in this configuration? Tasty coffee is made with natural milk. Is there a refrigerator next to the machine, or do we just set a milk carton with a straw nearby? <\/p>\n

Users have not discussed the maintenance of the coffee machine with the contractor at this stage, which is a missed opportunity. For instance, brewing at a temperature of 93.3 degrees yields perfect coffee, whereas using boiling water at 99 degrees results in a bitter brew. Naturally, the technician configures the temperature. The settings even depend on the type of cups used\u2014whether disposable coffee cups or ceramic mugs. Ceramic mugs have a higher thermal capacity, and in cafes, it's customary to preheat the cups. It's charming that the author brought a cup and saucer from home, but that doesn't guarantee her coffee will be perfect. <\/p>\n

\"How
\nService department routine<\/i><\/p>\n

IT solutions for coffee machines<\/h4>\n

\nI could list the nuances much longer, but the third part is the most interesting to me\u2014IT solutions for coffee machine maintenance. I've already mentioned monitoring the technical state of the unit above; now, let's talk about the 'client' side, which affects the economics of using the coffee machine. <\/p>\n

The first and most obvious solution is to somehow track the number of cups consumed. The programmers deserve credit, as they figured this out on the very first day of owning the coffee machine. Some gas station managers take years to realize this. IT specialists quickly transitioned from paper notes and Google Sheets to automation. This process certainly needs to occur without any 'human factor' involvement. <\/p>\n

The next logical step is to identify who drank which coffee. Chipping in 400 rubles for coffee seems to me like a sign of the employer's stinginess. But that's how it was decided. Another option could be coffee sales; such alternatives exist and are implemented using modern technical means. Special prices can be set for employees, etc. It\u2019s actually better received when framed as 'chipping in for coffee and cookies.' Selling coffee with passes is a workable idea. In some cases, it's more important to keep the coffee machine safe from outside visitors, in which case dispensing coffee via passes works quite well. <\/p>\n

\"How
\nAccess to coffee via pass or receipt<\/i><\/p>\n

Client recognition using video cameras is so trendy that in America, they have already started to prohibit recognizing individuals on every corner. <\/p>\n

This is why I would award a prize: the idea of rewarding bonus points for a cup of coffee consumed. We should incentivize consumption. Marketers don\u2019t grasp right away how great this is. It\u2019s clear that they\u2019re real programmers, focused on results, not abstract theorists. There\u2019s a business mindset at play\u2014instantly, we\u2019re talking about patents and the desire to profit from neighboring departments that love coffee. Before the programmers get too carried away, the HR department needs to urgently incorporate coffee into the company loyalty policy and implement it.<\/p>\n

A potential client for such ideas could be a sole proprietor who rented them a car. But I think the programmers would bombard her with so many technical and economic questions that she would prefer to escape from these overly-bright minds and continue selling tights. The coffee market is so under-saturated that even such a flawed business can survive.
\nThe only thing to add is that if programmers studied the issue before coming up with ideas of their own, they would find that all their inventions have already been implemented and are working well. If you want to lose weight, ask me how. Or check what the search engine returns for the query \u201ccoffee machine monitoring.\u201d <\/p>\n

Output<\/h4>\n

\nSo, to have good coffee in the office, you need to choose a coffee machine, a blend of beans, and flexible IT solutions tailored to your needs.
