Rent Or Buy A Coffee Machine

Welcome,  today I’m going to be taking you through which is better, buying or renting a coffee machine?

So renting or buying a coffee machine both have their pros and cons and I’ll go through each pro and con on both sides so you can kind of decide what’s right for you.

Renting A Coffee Machine

So, first on the renter side, companies rent really for three reasons.

One, if they can do the volumes required, they can often qualify for super low renters. So any company that is capable of doing really over 10 cups a day, usually has a financial advantage going the renter route.

Now number two big pro to rental is that almost all come with a maintenance plan included so obviously, if you purchase the machine you get a year guarantee but something goes wrong or you need a caller, those almost always charge for a purchase.

Third thing in a rental is flexibility and that’s really my best property of a rental.

When you take a coffee machine it’s super easy to look at a picture and say this is the coffee machine for me. Now the reality, unfortunately, isn’t always that. So a rental allows you to chop and change as much as you want.

So if you start with a coffee machine and you decide in 6 months time it’s not the right machine for you anymore or your circumstances changed, that your staff numbers increased or decreased, a rental allows you to change your end stage.

Buying A Coffee Machine

Purchase side, big pro obviously that you own the machine, which is a good and bad thing. It’s nice that you have ownership and not to always pay your rent or really forever but uh, the downside of owning a coffee machine is it’s not always the greatest thing to do.

Coffee machine models change a lot and uh you might want to, ehh, (unintelligible) to advantages, your circumstance might want to change, so that’s really your pros and cons of purchasing versus renting.

One thing we always always encourage is whichever route is right for you, we always encourage people to start in a test phase.

Always start in a test renter. A test renter keeps all your options open, it gives you all that flexibility so if you want to buy in months time, if you want to carry on renting, you still have all those options open to you as opposed to really buying off a pamphlet or buying off a brochure and then worst case is regretting that down the line.

Hope you enjoy it, hope that helps, please tune in for more.
