Corporate events can be packed with presentations, workshops, networking, and team building sessions which are great—but let’s be honest, they can also be a bit exhausting. If only there was a way to have a conveniently close breakout space that refuels everyone’s energy hey? Oh wait, that’s where mobile coffee comes in.
We’re The Coffee Can, and over the last few years we’ve popped up at countless corporate event days (both onsite at office complexes and out and about at team building days). We’ve noticed a real trend in bringing the caffeination to the corporate workplace, and it may be bias but we’re here for it. Here’s why having coffee on hand at your next event is a smart (and super easy) way to keep everyone happy, energised, and engaged.
Keeping spirits high and attention focused.
Coffee is the welcomed caffeine kick that everyone loves. Okay, perhaps not everyone, but at least all our customers. There’s no denying that a small part of the reason we set up a mobile coffee company was so that we had caffeine on tap ourselves. It helps keep everyone awake, focused, and ready to take on the day. At corporate events, where attention can dip after hours of sessions and discussions, having fresh coffee gives people that extra boost they need to stay focused.
Some venues for corporate functions are in town centres where there’s plenty of high street cafes to pop into on break for some fresh air and a coffee, but there are also many remote venues without nearby shops. That is where mobile coffee comes in – it puts coffee in the most convenient place possible. We’ve been in courtyards and car parks, but can also bring our portable set up to bring the brewing indoors!
Making networking a breeze
Coffee breaks are the ultimate icebreakers. They give people a natural way to start conversations without the awkwardness of “forced networking.” A mobile coffee station creates a relaxed space where attendees can grab a cup and chat with others in a low-pressure environment.
Whether it’s talking business or just having a casual chat, coffee breaks can lead to meaningful connections. Plus, coffee tends to bring out the best in people— a laugh and a joke with our baristas behind the coffee bar creates a level playing field for everyone to be a bit more themselves.
Bringing in the familiar
Let’s face it: corporate events can sometimes feel a bit formal. Adding a mobile coffee cart can change that by creating an inviting and familiar vibe. The smell of freshly brewed coffee in the air and the buzz of people chatting over lattes gives the event a more relaxed, welcoming feel.
Convenience
No points for figuring this one out; mobile coffee is mobile – it can go anywhere. Whether your event is inside a conference room or outside in a courtyard, the coffee comes to you, not the other way around. It keeps everything moving smoothly as mobile coffee units such as ours can work around your logistics and venue lay out.
We are the first to shout about it, our team of baristas at The Coffee Can are some of quickest and most efficient out there. This means no long lines or wait times for your guests, everyone gets their caffeine fix and can jump right back into the action.
Leave a Lasting Impression
When you’re hosting an event, you want people to remember the experience—not just the content but the little details that made it enjoyable. Offering a mobile coffee station is one of those extras that people will talk about long after the event.
It’s a small touch, but it shows that you’ve put thought into making the event comfortable and enjoyable for your attendees. Plus, who doesn’t love a good cup of coffee?
