Reduce your plastic waste by choosing a water dispenser
Restaurant & Cafe Water Dispensers
Having a constant source of water is a necessity for most businesses, but especially for those in the food and drink industry. Keeping customers hydrated whilst eating a meal, consuming caffeine, or drinking alcohol, serves as a way to boost their experience whilst dining or visiting your establishment. Installing an accessible restaurant water station, or adding a bottled water cooler to your cafe, is the ideal way to encourage staff and customers to drink more.
At Aquacool, our models are a perfect fit for restaurants, cafes and bars. So whether you’re in need of a restaurant cold water dispenser, or a cafe hot water dispenser, our range of models are sure to meet your specific needs.
Our range of water fountains, bottled and mains fed water coolers have been rigorously tested to ensure your staff is safe when consuming their drinks.

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 dispenser 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.

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 dispenser 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 models available with contactless dispensing, so there is a touchless model to fit every space no matter how big or small.
Key Areas to Place Water Dispensers in Restaurants & Cafes
Where can you place a cafe or restaurant water dispenser so that both staff and customers can locate it easily?
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 dispenser 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.
