Does your office have enough of a coffee supply for everyone in your company? An office coffee service can provide you with a rich assortment of different coffees, teas, and other hot beverages so that your office is never without instant refreshment.

Before you work with a vendor to determine how much of a coffee supply you need, you should find out who the coffee drinkers are in your company. They are fairly easy to spot – either toting a personal thermos from home in the morning or sipping a cup of joe from the neighborhood coffee shop in the middle of the day. But you can also get a direct answer from your employees by simply asking them: “would you drink coffee if we initiated services with a vendor?”

Once you figure out who regularly drinks coffee, you can then determine how much coffee you will need on a monthly basis. When you sign a service contract with an office coffee vendor, they will deliver a supply of coffee that fits your needs as well as consumables like sugars and creamers. If you only have employees that will empty out fresh brewed pots in the morning, you’ll need a far less coffee supply than a company who makes coffee from dawn till dusk.

Office coffee service vendors should offer reliable customer service options such as an 800 number to speak with a representative about your account. This will allow you to address any problems with the account, or make any necessary changes to your coffee supply needs over time.
