The holiday beverage market is one of the most important profit-makers for Florida foodservice operators, and coffee is a huge part of that segment. Seasonal favorites like peppermint mochas and gingerbread lattes bring warmth to the winter months and drive revenue through premium, high-margin offerings. This makes coffee equipment an essential part of the profit equation during the holidays.
As holiday drinks continue to be popular with many consumers counting down the days to seasonal beverage releases, cafés and coffee shops should be ready well in advance. This means considering some basics.
Menu planning is the first step, considering what types of beverages will be served. Both alcoholic and non-alcoholic options should be considered. Both can be made with seasonal ingredients and flavors. And both are key to attracting a wide range of customers. In addition, even in winter and especially in Florida, iced beverages can still be relevant.
Next, consider how to execute that menu. The right coffee equipment can create efficiencies in a labor-challenged marketplace. Whether it's an eggnog latte or a spiced rum mocha, equipment that is easy to use while also maintaining high quality standards is a formula that leads to profitability.
