With new students arriving at university campuses across Canada, foodservice workers are constantly looking for ways to appeal to the incoming demographic. Helping students feel at home is one of the primary ways of assisting them in getting comfortable and focusing so that they can perform well in their studies. A great method for doing that involves using coffee to insert the aromas and flavours of home into dining halls.
A hot coffee is perfect for mingling with friends between classes. It will give a study session a needed energy boost and warm the hands on a blustery day. Because of its easy operation and menu versatility, Concordia coffee machine fits seamlessly into university life in dining halls and cafeterias. The Integra, XPress, and Xpress Touch lines are primarily used in these settings.
