rodillian 6TH form cafe – hot drinks for students
The Rodillian Academy in Wakefield has created spaces for their sixth form students to study and socialise. Their cafe area has become an important part of student life. In line with the modern coffee shop culture, students were keen to have a high quality range of coffee and hot chocolate drinks for sale.
the objective
The cafe area has become extremely popular and the school and caterers decided to upgrade the quality of hot drinks on offer. Another requirement was to make the hot drinks available even when the cafe had closed.
the Solution – bean to cup coffee machine with payment pod
Livewell Vending were contacted as they have a wide range of ‘bean to cup’ coffee solutions and payment solutions, as well extensive experience working with the schools sector. To fulfil the specified requirements, Livewell installed a Vitro X3 Automatic Coffee Machine along with a side payment unit housing a Nayax Onyx contactless payment reader.
The Outcome
The Vitro Coffee Machine uses fresh beans to produce a range of coffee shop quality drinks to meet the varied preferences of students. It also offers premium hot chocolate drinks.
Whilst the cafe is open, students make their selection of coffee and pay at the till. along with any other food or drink chosen. When the cafe is closing for the day, the staff use a secure key to switch from ‘pay at till’ to ‘pay at machine’ enabling students to buy drinks on self serve basis. when the cafe is no longer staffed by the catering team. This innovative flexible solution is made possible by a payment pod that can be activated when necessary on the side of the machine.
