Case Studies
Event coffee case studies: 4,006 cups over a ten-day London activation, a staffed drinks bar in Amsterdam and conference catering in Barcelona.
Ten-day retail activation, London
A luxury watch brand ran a ten-day activation and wanted coffee to be the reason people stayed in the space rather than an afterthought. Two specialist baristas worked the full run and served 4,006 cups across the ten days without a single day of service failure. The learning that carries into every booking since: staff for the peak hour, not the daily average.
- 01
Bubble tea bar, Amsterdam
A technology client wanted a staffed drinks bar on site in Amsterdam for a team event. The bar was built and sized around expected footfall specifically so the queue kept moving, with the kit travelling from London and the crew hired locally around a producer who had run the build before.
- 02
Conference catering, Barcelona
For a cybersecurity client's Barcelona conference, service was planned backwards from the agenda: breaks timed to the session grid so that refreshments were ready the moment delegates stood up, rather than a fixed serving window that half the room misses.
- 03
Seated lunch on a 45-minute reset, London
A seated lunch and afternoon tea for 60 guests in a single day, with the room reset between the two services in 45 minutes. The constraint was the room, not the food, so the plan was built around the turnaround time first.
- 04
Recurring office drop-off
Ongoing coffee and speciality drinks drop-offs for corporate teams including Microsoft, Reddit, Wise and ITV: standing arrangements with agreed menus, fixed delivery windows and consolidated invoicing rather than a new order every week.
What these have in common
- Service capacity planned against the busiest hour of the day
- One producer owning the build, with local crew in each city
- Written allergen information and insurance sent before the date
- Set-up and clear-down planned inside the venue's own window
