Why every event venue should consider post mix drinks

Post-mix systems were created to solve key challenges in serving drinks at scale, particularly in busy commercial environments like cinemas, fast food restaurants, and event venues.

Food and drinks are a major part of events. Attendees remember details like service times and the quality of what they consume as they contribute to the overall experience, and what’s important to them should be key, in addition to efficiency, health and safety.

Speed of service using post-mix drinks

One of the main benefits of post-mix drinks is the increased speed of service. In an event setting, this is particularly important. Aside from the profitability of serving more customers, speed impacts the atmosphere.

In a study on festival attributes and perceptions, findings revealed that atmosphere was amongst the most important determinants of satisfaction and loyalty.

Fast service helps maintain a positive atmosphere where guests spend less time waiting and more time enjoying the event, leading to better reviews and repeat business down the line.

The speed of service also impacts crowd flow, which can pose a risk to health and safety.

Fast systems reduce stress and workload on staff, which can influence the experience of the consumer. If they are served by someone who is stressed out, it will show, and this can affect their experience on the whole.

Post-mix setups also require less storage space, simplifying inventory management and making operations smoother.

Portion control

Post-mix drinks help with portion control by dispensing a precise and consistent amount of the beverage. This helps in ensuring every serving is uniform in size and taste, reducing over-pouring or wastage.

For businesses, this means better cost control, less product waste, and more accurate inventory management, all of which contribute to improved profit margins.

Waste reduction

Research shows that UK music festivals produce 23,500 tonnes of waste every year. That’s equivalent to the weight of 250 blue whales! And that’s festival-specific, so imagine how much more it would be across all event types.

When it comes to post-mix drinks, wastage is decreased in several ways. In addition to portion control and preventing product waste, the materials obtained by suppliers of soft drinks, i.e., cans and plastic bottles, are completely removed from the equation where they aren’t required by a venue serving beverages through post-mix drink equipment.

Improved quality

The quality of what a person consumes at an event is just as memorable as the timing of service. Generally, when someone pays for something, they expect it to be of good quality. Post-mix drink solutions improve beverage quality by delivering fresher, more consistent, and customisable drinks.

Post-mix suppliers that offer branded beverages are a good choice for events in terms of quality and a safe product experience.

The way a drink is served can impact the perceived quality, including the actual taste experience. A post-mix solution provides a consistent serving method so that every beverage is served how it is intended to taste every time.

Choosing the right supplier

The right post-mix event supplier is critical for event success as it directly impacts drink quality, service efficiency, and guest experience.
