What Beverage Equipment Will I Need for My Business?

Restaurants

Restaurants can vary greatly in their individual needs, but some essential beverage equipment for a restaurant includes:

  • Cold beverage dispensers - for dispensing lemonade, iced tea, or any other non-carbonated beverages easily.
  • Commercial coffee makers - the type you choose depends on when you’re open. If you’re open for breakfast, it’s preferable to get a brewer with a higher capacity - even consider an Airpot! If you’re only open for lunch and/or dinner, you’ll still probably need a coffee maker, just go with a smaller option. No need to waste product if only one or two customers will need a cup, so consider a single brewer or even a single cup model.
  • Tea equipment - iced tea is a favorite in any restaurant, so it’s important to have in on hand. You can choose an iced tea brewer to make it in house or fill a dispenser with pre-made tea for a faster option.

Coffee Shops

It seems pretty straightforward right? Coffee shops need coffee makers. While this isn’t wrong, there’s other important beverage equipment basics you’ll need to make your coffee shop stand out. This includes:

  • Commercial coffee makers - obviously you’ll need a few heavy duty coffee makers for serving all day. You’ll also likely need an espresso and cappuccino machine for specialty coffee drinks. For more information about which type you should get, head on over to our coffee shop equipment page.
  • Blenders - for the perfect frappe, you’ll need a blender that can handle lots of ice. This is also helpful if you want to sell smoothies alongside your coffee!
  • Coffee grinders - pre-ground coffee is always an option, but the finest coffee shops grind their own fresh beans for a more impactful flavor.
  • Tea equipment - at any coffee shop, tea is almost always expected to be on the menu. Make sure you have the equipment for brewing both hot and iced tea, as well as an appropriate dispenser.

Bars

Most bar supplies are pretty simple - you’ve got your glasses, your cocktail shakers, your pourers. But what about equipment? You'll need:

  • Bar blenders - having a good blender can make or break your bar. Blend mixed drinks and custom cocktails in a bar blender for a drink your customers will love.
  • Frozen drink machines - if you’re looking to serve lots of margaritas or other frozen cocktails, you may want to skip the blender and go big with a frozen drink machine! It’s just like your favorite gas station slushie, but for adults only.

Convenience Stores

Convenience store, gas station, whatever you call them, they are known for their exciting beverage selections! Make sure you have what you need, including:

  • Frozen drink machines - one essential that you can’t leave out is a slushie machine. On a hot summers day kids and adults alike will be craving that frozen drink, so make sure you have what they want.
  • Coffee equipment - convenience stores are a go-to for a quick cup of coffee, so make sure to have a few options on hand for self-serve coffee.
  • Tea equipment - it’s a good idea to have something for self-serve tea as well. Both hot and iced tea should be available and easy to dispense.
  • Cold drink dispensers - having some fun punch, lemonade, or juice in a drink dispenser can draw in customers looking for a refreshing sweet beverage. Make sure to get a multi beverage machine for even more value.
  • Shaved ice machines - like a frozen drink machine, having snow cones is a great crowd-pleaser for a hot day. Add extra value to your convenience store by offering shaved ice in all different flavors.

Catering

When you’re making food on the go, it can be hard to know what beverage equipment you can easily take with you. Some common essentials for catering include:

  • Beverage serving counters - portable bars or mobile beverage counters are an excellent catering choice, allowing you to have a bar anywhere you need it.
  • Insulated beverage carriers - these can keep beverages hot for hours without electricity, perfect for serving coffee, tea, hot chocolate, or hot water in any environment you need. They’re also portable to make getting them from point A to point B a breeze.
  • Blenders - most bar or food blenders are placed on any countertop and plug into a standard wall outlet, so taking a small blender with you is simple. For making mixes drinks anywhere you go, get yourself a countertop blender.
  • Non-insulated beverage dispensers - having a simple tabletop dispenser for lemonade, iced tea, and more can make it easier to serve beverages while catering, and add a nice bit of style to a table.
