These include but are not limited to hotels, bed and breakfasts, restaurants, cafes, bars, and catering services; airlines, cruise lines, travel agencies, tour operators, amusement parks, event planning services, and wellness spas. 

The hospitality industry contributes significantly to the global economy, creating millions of jobs worldwide. It allows people to engage in fun experiences and improve community morale. 

Quality coffee is crucial in the hospitality industry for several reasons. These include but again are not limited to: 


  • Enhancing your guest experience, a well-brewed, high-quality coffee can make a massive difference to people's initial perception of a place. It creates a positive first impression and allows guests to feel at home in their setting. 
  • Offering premium coffee can set a business apart from competitors. We’ve catered at large events where the guests have said that having access to a delicious cappuccino mid-morning made all the difference to their experience.  
  • Coffee aficionados will avoid returning to places where they experience bad coffee. A good cup of coffee creates customer retention and great word of mouth. 
  • If you’re serving Premium Speciality Wholesale Coffee, you can justify higher pricing, leading to better profit margins. 
  • Coffee can pair well with certain foods and desserts. At Stokes, we can discuss which options will work best with your offering to enhance the overall dining experience. 
  • If you’re sourcing high-quality, ethically produced coffee, this demonstrates that you take corporate social responsibility seriously and allows you to appeal to eco-conscious consumers. 
  • Providing quality coffee for your team can improve their productivity and job satisfaction, which will show in their performance.

Offering premium coffee can lead to increased revenue, more substantial brand recognition, and a more refined dining experience when paired with food.

Beyond customer satisfaction, serving ethically sourced coffee is always the right choice. Additionally, providing quality coffee for employees can boost morale and productivity, leading to better service.
