Not everyone drinks coffee, but coffee is enjoyed by people from all walks of life—from the office administrator to the mechanic to the swimming coach. Slowly, specialty coffee for food service environments have become more and more common. These days, one could walk into a gas station and find a local specialty coffee roaster brewing in the coffee pot. This is very different from 15 years ago; tastes have changed.
The average coffee drinker expects, and more importantly knows, the difference between a good cup of coffee and a bad cup of coffee. They may not be able to describe why, but they know. This is why, for the neighborhood restaurant and food service establishment, it’s important to consider the quality of coffee you’re providing. Increasing the quality of coffee for the restaurant manager could increase after-dinner coffee sales, increasing your profit margins. For the food service manager, the boosted morale of your hard-working colleagues could be immeasurable if they knew that just around the corner was a fine, fine cup of coffee.
Luckily, Dilworth has delicious solutions for coffee for food service and restaurants. In fact, we’re experts!
In a sit-down restaurant setting, the coffee needs will vary depending on the kind of restaurant. The most obvious is a breakfast/brunch restaurant. Breakfast restaurants will likely go through upwards of 300 orders of coffee during morning service. Customers aren’t likely to eat at a breakfast restaurant for the coffee, but they would likely choose one restaurant over another because of the coffee.
It’s important you know the desires of your customers and what kind of coffee offers they require. Whether that’s only drip coffee, French Press or Chemex service, and then, of course, espressos and lattes. No matter what kind of coffee you desire your restaurant to serve, Dilworth has got you covered! We carry a range of espresso blends, single origins, breakfast blends, and even frac packs to suit every need your restaurant or food service operation has.
For the fine dining experience, an after-dinner cup of coffee with dessert is a great way to round out a delicious meal. Instead of offering a $0.99 cup of generic coffee on your menu, offer a $2.99 cup of “100% specialty single origin Sumatran Arabica coffee from local coffee roasters Dilworth.” This triples the revenue on every cup of coffee and shows the diner that you care about the small details of their experience.
In a fast-casual environment, having coffee for food service that is both convenient and affordable can elevate your customer’s experience. They may not be expecting a super complicated cup, but rather an easy to drink and affordable cup. Dilworth has a variety of food service-oriented coffee offerings at different price points to suit every need your operation has.
Frac packs are a great way to brew coffee for your restaurant if your kitchen lacks the counter space for a bulk coffee grinder or lacks a skilled barista who knows about grind settings and brewing temperature. Our frac packs are ground and then immediately nitrogen flushed in 2.5oz or 8oz portions. Nitrogen-flushed bags preserve the freshness and quality of our great coffee for months after purchasing. No oxygen means no degradation of flavor and freshness. Our frac packs come in medium, dark, and decaf for every taste preference.
Brewing consistency is especially important in operations where high-quality coffee for food service must meet the same standard every time. We set up the coffee program at a local restaurant not too long ago, and during the tasting, the chef, manager, and lead bartender all loved the coffee we brewed. A week later, we got a call saying the coffee tastes different, and some customers have been complaining. What happened?
On the follow-up, it turns out the server responsible for prepping the coffee that day didn’t follow the recipes we left. They pre-ground and set aside half a dozen batches with 2oz less coffee than the recipes required. No wonder it tasted different! Frac packs are one solution to this problem. Pre-measured, pre-ground, and the same great quality. Dilworth also offers a robust training program for baristas and restaurant workers to ensure the coffee you’re serving is the very best it can be.
In our opinion, coffee is good at any time of day for any reason. We’re biased, of course, but we think the average coffee drinker agrees! By partnering with Dilworth, you’re not just serving coffee for your food service business; you’re offering a memorable experience that keeps customers coming back. Don’t miss out on the opportunity to increase your coffee sales by offering high-quality coffee at an affordable price.
