The holiday season brings guests who are searching for memorable dining experiences, festive atmospheres, and specialty drinks. Whether you operate a restaurant, bar, café, or mixed service concept, maximizing profitability throughout the year starts with strengthening your beverage program. Drinks consistently deliver some of the highest profit margins in foodservice.
At Cayard's Foodservice Equipment & Supplies, we help operators enhance beverage programs that boost margins, improve efficiency, and elevate the guest experience. A strong beverage strategy is valuable year-round and benefits operations of all sizes.
Coffee and Espresso Programs Build Morning Revenue
Coffee and espresso drinks remain some of the most profitable beverage categories in foodservice. Equipment from Grindmaster helps operators capture this business across cafés, quick service restaurants, and full service environments.
- Grindmaster coffee brewers support high-volume programs with precision brewing and programmable controls that ensure consistent results.
- Commercial espresso machines offer café-quality beverages and intuitive controls that help reduce training time.
A pound of coffee typically yields dozens of servings. When priced appropriately, coffee and espresso beverages offer exceptionally strong returns, which makes reliable brewing equipment a smart investment.
Fresh Ingredients Drive Beverage Quality
Successful beverage programs rely on fresh, well-stored ingredients. Atosa prep tables and merchandisers help maintain ideal temperatures for garnishes, mixers, dairy, and grab-and-go beverages.
- Atosa prep tables keep fruits, herbs, and garnishes crisp and accessible, enabling faster and more consistent service.
- Atosa merchandisers highlight beverages clearly, increasing visibility and impulse purchases throughout the day.
Proper refrigeration preserves ingredient quality, reduces waste, and supports consistent drink preparation.
Bar Bites Increase Beverage Sales
Offering small bites alongside beverages encourages guests to stay longer and increases check averages. Southbend countertop equipment allows operators to prepare popular bar foods without requiring large kitchen spaces.
- Southbend fryers produce wings, fries, and other favorites with reliable heat recovery and durable construction.
- Southbend griddles prepare flatbreads, quesadillas, and warm appetizers quickly and evenly.
Food offerings complement drink sales and encourage guests to order additional rounds.
Baked Goods Support Coffee Programs
Pairing coffee with fresh baked goods is a powerful revenue strategy. Moffat ovens support consistent, efficient production of pastries, muffins, and breakfast items.
- Moffat convection ovens bake multiple trays evenly and offer programmable controls that help staff maintain consistency.
Baked goods often carry strong margins. When paired with coffee, they increase average transaction values and help attract guests with their aroma.
Bar Organization Speeds Service
A well-organized bar allows bartenders to work faster and more efficiently. Glastender and Krowne backbar systems help streamline workflows and support quick service during peak hours.
- Glastender underbar systems include durable sinks, ice bins, and speed rails designed for high-volume use.
- Krowne backbar shelving keeps glassware, bottles, and tools visible and within easy reach.
Efficient organization enables bartenders to serve more guests per hour, increasing revenue.
Efficient Storage Maximizes Space
Back-of-bar areas often have limited space. High-quality shelving helps operators maximize storage and maintain clear visibility of inventory.
- Adjustable shelves accommodate a variety of bottle sizes.
- Open wire designs provide airflow and allow staff to quickly monitor inventory levels.
Organized storage reduces shrinkage, prevents mistakes, and protects your investment in beverage inventory.
