Flexible Coffee Solutions for a Busy Hotel and Events Venue
Manor Hotel Meridan
Hotel and Events Venue
The Challenge
Adaptable Coffee for a Dual-Purpose Venue
Manor Hotel Meriden operates as both a hotel and an events venue, which creates a unique set of requirements for coffee service. The team needed a solution that could adapt to different service styles and locations throughout the building.
- A reliable breakfast coffee solution that could be set up without fixed plumbing
- The ability to move coffee service between different areas of the hotel
- A dedicated events provision for conferences, weddings and private functions
- A single supplier for all coffee products, from beans to in-room sachets
The Solution
Mobile Bean-to-Cup Machines with Full Product Supply
Coventry Coffee Co designed a setup that gave the hotel maximum flexibility across its breakfast and events operations:
- Bean-to-cup machine on a mobile trolley with an integrated water pump for breakfast service, requiring no fixed plumbing
- A separate bean-to-cup machine positioned in the events area for conferences, weddings and private functions
- Full product supply including coffee beans, powdered milk, hot chocolate, instant coffee sachets and coffee bags for suites
The mobile trolley setup was key to the solution. It allowed the breakfast team to position the machine wherever it was needed and move it out of the way once service was complete, without any plumbing work or fixed installation.
The Results
Smooth Service Across Every Area of the Hotel
- Smooth breakfast service with a mobile, self-contained machine
- Increased flexibility to move coffee service between areas
- Reliable events service for conferences, weddings and private functions
- Simplified procurement through a single supplier for all products
- Consistent coffee experience across all areas of the hotel
