An arrangement where a coffee brewing apparatus is provided to a company at no upfront cost, typically with an agreement for ongoing purchase of coffee supplies. This differs from outright purchase or leasing, shifting the initial financial burden from the business to the supplier.
This offering can represent a significant benefit by removing capital expenditure barriers and providing a valued amenity for employees and clients. Historically, such arrangements have been utilized as a strategic marketing tool by coffee suppliers to secure long-term contracts and build brand loyalty within the business environment.
