Delice de France hopes to create a stir with Café Delice, a new coffee-to-go concept where outlets selling 35 cups a day can earn margins of 40%.
Café Delice is a monthly rental hot drinks concept, which includes a fully automatic bean-to-cup machine, linked milk cooler, branded housing unit and menu, as well as product and waste storage areas. Full servicing and cleaning packs for the agreement period are provided.
It is a modular set up, with floor-standing and counter solutions available to cater for different-sized outlets and needs. The menu includes coffee, tea and hot chocolate.
Outlets can earn 40% margin when they sell 35 cups a day, working to Delice de France’s suggested retail price of £2.75 for a regular 12oz latte.
This margin takes into consideration the cost of the coffee and the monthly rental. With monthly rental options starting from £360 per month, outlets could make more than £10,000 a year based on a forecast of 35 cups per day.
Delice de France has partnered with Modern Standard for its coffee and Clipper for tea. Hot chocolate is provided by Barry Callebaut. The solution also offers a range of sugars and syrups.
