As cooler weather comes and people start thinking about the holidays, the traditional fall flavors begin to show up. Everyone knows one favorite that comes out every year - pumpkin spice latte. But even though PSL is a popular choice, there are many other flavors of the season to incorporate into your coffee-based drinks. And with a Concordia Xpress or Xpress Touch espresso machine in your convenience store, you’ll provide choices customers are looking for and help with your profits.
NO BARISTA NEEDED
Serving trendy coffee drinks no longer requires a highly trained barista. Both the Concordia Xpress and Xpress Touch are easy for staff to use and serve high-quality drinks you’d see in fancy coffee shops. Both models serve hot or cold espresso drinks, allowing your c-store to provide additional serving options. And the staff are able to control the coffee dose, extraction temperature, and grind with the push of a button. So you’re able to serve espresso exactly at the strength the locals like it.
OFFERING PLENTY OF VARIETY
Variety is the slice of life, and also the fun of a cup of espresso-based drinks in autumn. With the option to include six flavor bottles attached to the machine, stores are able to offer over 1,000 different flavor combinations to satisfy everyone’s taste buds.
Both models of the Concordia Xpress offer the patented EspressJet™Flavor System to help enhance drinks. By infusing the syrup into the milk before adding it to the drink, there’s no powdery flavor. The machines don’t require specialized flavor bottles, so there are many different flavors you can choose to include. Some great ones for fall that provide a little something different include chai tea spice, salted caramel, maple, and brown sugar cinnamon.
There are also two built-in refrigerators to hold one-gallon bottles of the milk of your choice to provide customers with even more options.
CONVENIENCE STORE SPEED
The average convenience store customer is inside a store for less than five minutes. So making sure that they are served quickly is not only important for sales that day, but also for creating repeat customers and sales in the future. The Xpress and Xpress Touch both can produce a 12-ounce cup of coffee within 25 seconds. Getting customers in and out of the store fast and with time to spare to pick up additional items to purchase.
HELP SAVE ON LABOR COSTS
Serving customers what they want is important, but so is making sure you have enough labor without going over budget. With the ability to input programable recipes for speed and consistency purposes, it’s as easy as a touch of the button to receive a drink. The Xpress even has an optional vending feature so customers can pay at the machine with a credit or debit card for immediate authorization and service. Saving more time and on labor costs to you.
Concordia machines are easy to clean with automated cleaning cycles that take less than 15 minutes. Keeping machines sanitary without the possibility of human error and with less downtime.
