Finding the Best Coffee Supplier as a Business in London
Consider Your Workplace Needs
You will first need to determine what your business is looking for in terms of services. You might need wholesale coffee for your car showroom, or a brand-new bean to cup coffee machine for your office. Take a step back and consider how your work environment operates. Are you in need of a coffee solution that can help increase staff productivity levels? Or are you looking for a premium coffee solution offering to impress clients and visitors? Deciding your workplace factors can help when it comes to approaching different coffee suppliers in the area.
Share Your Business Values and Interests
If your business is hot on sustainability issues, then it is essential you target eco-conscious coffee suppliers to reflect your brand values and image and uphold your reputation as a business that provides environmentally friendly products and services. Be passionate about supporting the causes and sharing ideas with your supplier. Research suppliers that interest you and have a proven history of establishing meaningful customer relationships with corporate clients locally and share similar values to that of the businesses they support.
Provide High-Quality Beans
At Liquidline, we provide a range of high-quality coffee bean brands and products, that have been Fairtrade Certified, ethically approved and quality control checked. We make sure that our products are delivered to the highest standard, and reflect our company values and image as a proactive supporter of sustainability. We carry out our taste tests of the beans with the help of our in-house professionally qualified Baristas.
Check Customer Reviews
Before you make a purchase, whether that be online or in-store, always check online customer reviews beforehand. Check the supplier’s website for customer reviews. Please read what others say about them. You can also check online case studies to see who they have previously worked with, what they provided for them and what the client has said about the service they received. Consider the quality of service they are providing and the level of service they provide. It is worth reading the reviews to help with the decision-making process and determine how reliable and professional your chosen supplier is.
Local Expert Knowledge
Check out the local supplier in your district first in a bid to support local wholesale coffee roasters and coffee machine suppliers. Consider how far the supplier is from your workplace in terms of receiving regular deliveries and visiting their premises to determine how they work. Local knowledge and expertise will allow them to recommend the products and services you need based on similar customer orders. If they have a nearby cafe or coffee shop, then visit to see them in action for yourself, talk to staff and gain a better understanding of how they operate.
Questions to ask before making a final decision about the supplier
How long has the supplier been in business?
An important question to ask to determine how much knowledge and expertise the supplier has. If they have been in business for less than a year but can prove they have the experience of working with a variety of different clients, then give them a try. If however, they have only been in business for three months and have no evidence of working with clients altogether then this is a risk not worth taking.
What can the wholesaler tell you about the coffee beans/machines?
Does the supplier know about all the products they sell and are they able to steer you in the right direction in terms of what are your business needs? Can they tell you what coffee machine you need to help manage your daily output? Can they advise you on the make, model and type of machine and show you the difference between a commercial machine and a bean to cup machine?
Have they any knowledge of barista training?
If the supplier has proven experience of barista training and can show a working demonstration of the machines available, then this is a good sign that you could establish a long-term working relationship. If they can operate the machines, then they will have the knowledge and expertise to guide you in the right direction.
Are they supplying premium quality products at a reasonable price?
Check that the coffee products they sell are genuinely premium products and have Fairtrade Certified logos on the packaging. Also, check they sell their products in bulk at reasonable prices, or when it comes to coffee machines that they provide outright purchase and leasing options.
Remember to find a supplier that is passionate about coffee, has local expert knowledge and can help you take the steps you need to provide an ultimate coffee experience in your workplace.
