Why Does Hydration Matter in Restaurants and Cafes?

Hydration is key in the food and drink industry, but why is that?

Aids meal digestion: As water aids meal digestion, you can ensure that customers are comfortable during, and after a meal at your cafe or restaurant by providing a source of water throughout service.

Alleviates the impact of alcohol consumption: Whether it’s one drink or five, staying hydrated is important whilst drinking alcohol. Providing a source of water for those in your bar or restaurant can help to alleviate the impact of drinking alcoholic beverages. And your customers will thank you in the morning.

Health and wellbeing benefits: As a key measure of health, being properly hydrated is essential for all customers and staff. Hydration supports overall bodily functions and helps to boost moods so everyone can be comfortable in your restaurant or cafe.

Boosts staff productivity and morale: Busy shifts can mean very little time for staff to have a moment to recharge. With a water dispenser, employees can quickly refuel prior to serving, or in between making drinks.

Types of water dispensers for restaurants and cafes

Whilst a restaurant or cafe kitchen may benefit from hot and cold water, in seating areas chilled and sparkling water may be better suited. So what are the types of water dispensers suitable for areas in restaurants and cafes?

Hot & Cold Bottled Water Coolers

A user-friendly addition to any cafe or restaurant is a bottled water cooler. Available with no-touch, contactless dispensing, your customers and staff can enjoy constant, clean water all day or night. With hot, cold and ambient water on offer, there is a model suitable for any area within a cafe or restaurant.

Aquacool’s Select Plus Bottled Water Cooler offers easy access to water for those visiting your cafe or restaurant. And with our plastic water bottles being reused up to 500 times, it is also an eco-friendly choice for your business. Allow customers to enjoy a cup of cold water during brunch, or for staff to quickly grab a top up of hot water with this model.

Mains Fed Water Dispenser

For water dispensers connected straight to the main supply of water in your cafe or restaurant, opt for a mains fed cooler. With Aquacool’s sleek models, a water cooler will fit seamlessly into your restaurant or cafe environment and provide customers with a constant flow of water for a smooth hydration experience.

The Elite UVC Mains Fed Dispenser is the perfect balance of style and efficiency, and with three water options to choose from, your customers will be spoilt for choice. With sparkling, chilled and ambient water dispensed through a UVC LED filtration system, not only do customers and staff have multiple water options, but they can rest assured knowing that is super hygienic too.

Contactless Models

When handling food and drinks, preventing cross-contamination and the spread of bacteria is key. That’s why contactless water dispensers are ideal for cafes and restaurants. With a no-touch, buttonless water coolers in your cafe or restaurant, you can boost hygiene as well as providing customers with some peace of mind.

The hands-free contactless dispense system of the Select Plus Mains Fed Water Dispenser makes it an ideal model for any cafe seating area, or even a restaurant kitchen. Ensure that your establishment is taking steps to protect both customers, as well as employees, by utilising a contactless water cooler.

How contactless water coolers improve hygiene in restaurants and cafes

When food and drink are involved, hygiene is extremely important. With a no-touch water cooler in your restaurant or cafe, you can make sure that your water dispenser is germ free, and that your customers and staff stay safe. Aquacool has both floorstanding and countertop water dispensers available with contactless dispensing, so there is a touchless model to fit every space no matter how big or small.

RESTAURANTS & CAFES

Key areas to place water dispensers

Self-service areas

Install your water dispenser next to self-service areas such as buffets, beside a soda fountain, or in cafe areas where customers can help themselves to sugar or napkins. With everything together in a convenient place, customers can locate their source of water easily.

Bars

For bar areas, keeping a slim floorstanding or countertop model behind the bar ensures that bartenders can quickly provide water to customers whilst making other drinks. They can even offer sparkling water for a mixture of drink offerings too.

Kitchens

Restaurants and cafes can benefit from having a hot and cold water dispenser in staff-only areas such as kitchens. This can then not only be used by staff, but for serving cold or hot water refills to customers as well.

Seating areas

Floor standing models sit perfectly in open seating areas in cafes and restaurants. Customers can have fast access to water if they need it, both chilled and sparkling. And if your business has several seating areas, you could also employ the use of multiple dispensers.

Go Green in restaurants & cafes

Due to the high amount of waste from restaurants and cafes, it’s important to be conscious of how much plastic you are throwing away. A restaurant water cooler helps to cut down on how much plastic ends up in landfill in order to nurture a brighter future. So, encourage customers to use glasses or refillable bottles instead of single-use plastic and do your bit for the planet.

Why invest in water dispensers for restaurants & cafes

Improve customer experience

Every little helps when it comes to customer experience, and installing an elegant water cooler may just be the small touch that sets your restaurant or cafe apart from the rest. Keep your customers coming back for more with easy access to fresh and clean water.

Make service easier

Fill up jugs of water quickly to place on tables, or provide customers with the ability to grab a glass of water themselves so that service runs smoother, and your staff have one less task during busy periods.

Reduce restaurant plastic waste

Cut down on plastic by encouraging glasses to be used instead of plastic cups. This means that your business can employ eco-friendly practices, whilst reducing waste and lowering your carbon footprint.

Cut costs

Cut costs with a money-saving water cooler. As you don’t need to buy cases of bottled water, you can instead supply clean water on-demand to customers and employees via an energy-efficient water dispenser.
