At a glance
Keep staff refills separate from the service queue.
Plan a drinking-water point that staff can reach without blocking order preparation or customer movement. Check counter space, refill peaks and temperature needs. Staff drinking-water use does not establish suitability for coffee machines or commercial food preparation.
Before you request a quotation
Small cafes may need compact placement first.
If the purifier sits near the counter or service area, it should not crowd ordering, payment, drink preparation, or staff movement.
Not every cafe needs the same hot-water setup.
Some cafes need hot water support often, while others only need drinking water for staff. Clarifying this avoids recommending a model that is too much for the actual routine.
Customer-facing placement should look neat.
If customers can see the unit, appearance, cable management, and placement become part of the buying decision.
Confirm these details in writing
- The model and number of units for each room or pantry.
- Installation requirements and any site-access arrangements.
- Price, payment terms and any costs not included in the quotation.
- Service scope, filter schedule and warranty terms for the selected plan.
Models to compare against your requirements
These are examples to review, not a recommendation for every corporate office. Confirm water demand or enclosed-room coverage first.
Kiut
Useful when space is limited and the cafe mainly needs simple drinking-water access.
Grande
Useful for staff-use areas where hot water and broader temperature control are part of the routine.
