How to choose

How do you choose a coffee cart company?

Troy hosts plan around work schedules, so these five points matter most:

  • Speed of the line. At a lunch-hour client event, ask how many drinks per hour one barista makes, and whether a second barista is available.
  • A menu that suits a mixed crowd. Espresso, matcha and a caffeine-free refresher cover colleagues, clients and guests with children.
  • Branding. Some companies add signage or custom cups. Ask what is included and what costs extra.
  • Building rules. Offices and hotels often want proof of insurance before a vendor sets up.
  • Reply time. A company that answers with availability in writing is a company that shows up on schedule.

Budget

How do you budget coffee for an office event in Troy?

An office coffee cart is easiest to budget when you fix three numbers first: the headcount, the length of the event and the menu. Each company then quotes against those.

Planning inputWhat to decide
HeadcountCount the people who will actually line up, not the full invite list. Kiki’s form groups events as under 25, 25 to 50, 50 to 100, 100 to 200 and 200+.
Event lengthA morning kickoff may need one hour. A client open house may need three. Kiki’s form offers 1 to 5+ hours and a full day.
MenuDecide whether guests get the full espresso menu or a short list of matcha, lattes and refreshers.
Day of the weekWeekday events leave more dates open than Saturdays in wedding season.
Company policyAsk accounting whether a vendor needs a purchase order or an invoice with a due date.

Kiki replies to each request with availability and pricing within 2 to 3 business days. Send the date and headcount through the request form.

Office and hotel checklist

What should an office or hotel contact confirm for a coffee cart?

Before the cart arrives at an office park, hotel or banquet hall in Troy, confirm these points with the building contact:

  • Loading. Which door, which elevator and what time window the vendor may use.
  • Power. Where the nearest outlet is. Kiki’s form asks whether power is available, and Kiki follows up on a “not sure.”
  • Floor space. A clear spot for the cart and a short line, away from a main walkway.
  • Insurance. Whether the building needs a certificate from the vendor.
  • Cleanup. Who handles trash, and when the vendor may leave.

Contract basics

What belongs in a coffee cart contract?

A short written agreement protects both sides. Ask for these items before you pay a deposit:

  • The event date, start time and service hours.
  • The deposit amount and the balance due date.
  • What happens to the deposit if you cancel or move the date.
  • How the company handles a change in headcount.

Kiki confirms its terms in the quote that follows your request.
