Companies in the hospitality sector, such as
restaurants and hotels, could benefit from investing in a commercial coffee
machine for customers to use.
According to the latest figures from Allegra Strategies,
published in Eat Out Magazine, ten per cent of adults in Britain go
to a coffee shop every day.
Statistics also revealed that more than one in three people have
increased the number of times they go to a coffee shop in the last
year.
As a result, customer-facing businesses could find it lucrative
to provide their own coffee machine facilities in order to cash in
on this demand for hot drinks.
However, firms should be aware that the amount consumers are
spending at coffee shops has dropped slightly in the last few
years.
Figures from Allegra Strategies showed that visitors to these
establishments typically pay £3.18 during each transaction, down
from £3.50 two years ago.
Nevertheless, Deloitte recently noted that Britons are still
keen to go out to eat and drink, even amid the current economic
difficulties.
