Private practice waiting rooms are anxious places. A proper coffee, or a proper decaf, is a small signal that this is a premium practice rather than a corridor with chairs in it.
Decaf demand is unusually high in clinics. Patients waiting for a procedure often do not want caffeine, and patients who have just had one may be told to avoid hot drinks entirely. Stock decaf at a far higher ratio than a cafe would, and expect it to move.
Cleanliness is scrutinised in a way it is not elsewhere. A drip tray with yesterday's grounds in it undermines an otherwise spotless practice. Pick a machine with a sealed waste bin and a short daily clean, and write the clean into the reception opening routine.
Volumes are low, so freshness is the risk. A practice pouring 20 drinks a day should be taking smaller, more frequent deliveries rather than a quarterly bulk order that spends two months in a stock cupboard.
Far more than a cafe. We commonly see decaf at 25 to 40 percent of total volume in patient-facing clinic areas, against under 10 percent in hospitality.
A compact bean to cup with a sealed waste container. It is self serve, it keeps grounds out of sight, and the daily clean is a few minutes at close.
Yes. Own-brand bags and cups are standard for us, and a branded bag on the reception counter reinforces a private practice's positioning.
Yes, and it is often worth splitting them. Staff rooms usually want larger bags and a stronger everyday blend, patient areas want smaller, fresher drops.
Yes, we send samples so the practice can taste the blend, including the decaf, before committing.
