WHY XPRESSO DELIGHT IS ROASTING THE COMPETITION

1) THEY KNOW THEIR MARKET

The office coffee market is the best industry to be involved with right now. Currently, offices are undergoing a transition from Baby-Boomer management to Millennial management and with that expectations are changing on what amenities are standard in offices. Surveys will show (survey) that Millenials prefer to drink espresso and milk-based beverages and are no longer satisfied with drip coffee in the workplace from the existing capsule and pod-based systems like  Keurig or Nespresso. In addition to taste, a large amount of scrutiny has risen around the excessive plastic waste generated on a daily basis by Keurig and Nespresso systems leading, responsible management to look elsewhere. This has left a huge opportunity in the market for a company to meet this demand. The Australian based Xpresso Delight has been providing espresso-based drinks in the workplace since 2003 in Australia and New Zealand and is now franchising the rights to its Coffee-As-A-service model in the United States. The Xpresso Delight coffee service utilizes Bean-to-Cup machines, which grind whole beans for each cup of coffee and do not utilize wasteful plastic capsules or pods. To date over 10 franchises have been sold in the US and over 200 have been sold in Australia and New Zealand.

2) THEY SUPPORT FRANCHISEES EVERY STEP OF THE WAY
