eXpresso PLUS has a complete hot beverage solution for hospitals at HefmA

HefmA National Conference and Exhibition, 14th & 15th May 2015 Hilton Blackpool

Hot beverage provision is an essential in hospitals, not only for patient and visitor comfort but also, increasingly, as an important revenue stream. At the 2015 HefmA National Conference and Exhibition eXpresso PLUS will be showing how its latest Lavazza self-serve towers can provide hospitals with the opportunity to offer a 24 hour hot drinks service.

In hospitals speed is often of the essence, staff, patients and visitors need to get back to the ward or clinic, which is why a quick grab and go takeaway coffee is often favoured over visiting the café or restaurant. The Lavazza Tower is programmed to create a great espresso in just 28 seconds.

A single Lavazza machine can serve a huge variety of quality drinks: a complete bean-to-cup espresso menu, plus a choice of teas, soup and hot chocolate, all available at the touch of a button. The premium branding attracts customers as they know you can meet their expectations. Customers are prepared to pay a premium price for a brand they know and trust.

The Lavazza self-serve tower requires minimal resource, maintenance and cleaning to run, meaning customers are kept happy and profits made – all with minimal staff input. The card reader payment option means the self-serve towers can offer drinks outside regular working hours, bringing in revenue around the clock. 

As hospitals are busy around the clock, the beverage offering needs to be kept on 24/7. The Tower uses its inbuilt ‘energy learn’ technology to enter a standby mode when not in use, enabling it to only work when required and quickly boot back up when a customer approaches. This not only saves up to 30% in energy consumption and subsequent costs, but also keeps customers happy as the machine is always ready to serve.

The low running costs and high profit potential, plus the ease of maintenance and cleaning, make the Lavazza Tower a big hit with operators. 

eXpresso PLUS specialises in drinks-to-go, supplying a wide range of both equipment and ingredients from leading manufacturers and drinks brands.  Working closely with customers in the NHS and private sector, the company has developed a range of complete beverage packages for hospitals.  As part of the LTT Group, eXpresso has over 50 years’ experience of supplying hot drinks systems to the health care market. 

eXpresso PLUS offers hospitals a one-stop-shop for beverage systems. Equipment ranges from self-serve beverage towers in waiting areas to barista-operated espresso machines in cafés and canteens. Ingredients are sourced from leading brands such as Lavazza, Nescafe and PG.

eXpresso PLUS representatives will be available on the stand to answer any questions.
