Coffee Blockbusters with the Birks Cinema Group

We all love a great movie, and we all love a trip to the cinema and the Birks Cinema Group is one cinema that’s worth a visit. This an amazing rural cinema showing the latest films. Spacious 100-seat auditorium – comfy seats – state of the art projection & sound. Owned by the community, the Birks is a must-visit venue to see a film, relax over coffee & cake, and a great venue for special events.

One of the company’s secret recipe for success is in its range of great food and drinks that is available and none more so that its great coffee.

Blendly is supplying coffee around Scotland, giving a value and choice and setting new opportunities for coffee outlets to develop their own coffee taste and flavours.

Blendly also allows customers to select from a range of commodities to extend the taste and make the coffee more unique to them making its their own coffee blend.

People’s palate are changing none more so than how we enjoy coffee, with more people purchasing barista style machines for their homes and purchasing more and more international origin coffees and customers expecting more.

With the high street moving away from pre-blended Italian style coffee, the industry is in the curiosity for the “science” of coffee making—improving grinding methods, better monitoring of water quality, and the types of beans that make up blends, allowing customers to better identify with taste and content of what they are drinking.

This type of transparency is allowing independent coffee chains to better establish their local brands in a growing market place which currently supplies approximately 165 million cups of tea and around 70 million cups of coffee that is consumed in the UK each day, according the UK Tea Council, the market for hot beverages can be considered extremely robust.

As commentators see the high street is transforming from a pure shopping destination to a centre for “leisure and services” as the dramatic rise of the Internet changes the retail landscape demand for high-quality, barista-style coffee in the home has risen in recent years and this has led to innovation in manual, bean-to-cup and capsule coffee machines for the home. This is also helping independent coffee and Cinema chains to better develop their brand around individual coffee blends and add better value to the customer experience.

5 Reasons Why You Should Use Blendly

Why use Blendly? Having a Barista style coffee blend in your office has loads of advantages. Having the ability to customize all the beans, certification, grind and roast has even more. It’s a great way to start a client meeting as well as to show how much you value them. Blendly offers you this ability at a very affordable price. We are very transparent on what goes on your coffee bag.

Here are the top 5 reasons for using Blendly and creating your own blend:

A hot coffee can break the ice. Offering a coffee to a visitor, a new starter or a colleague who’s having a bad day can break the ice at the beginning of a conversation, helping the connection to flow. It can be a great way to start a tricky conversation or make someone feel really welcome in your office.
Grabbing a coffee can provide a well-deserved desk break. It’s healthy to get up and walk around the office several times a day to take a screen break. It will help you to get a good blood circulation going and will help prevent bad posture that is commonly attributed on desk jobs. Getting up to grab a coffee can provide the “excuse” for that well-deserved breather.
A way to say thank you to the team. Employee benefits can help with staff retention. Having a free coffee included in it is a great addition as it will not only save your staff some future weight gains but also on their everyday spending. It’s a great way to show them that they are being appreciated. When the recession hits, companies were seen to get rid of certain staff benefits in the office. Show your staff that your business is strong and you care about them by offering some practical perks.
Coffee can help ideas percolate. It is no coincidence that Google are offering free good meals and beverages for their staff. It’s in order to “inspire innovative thinking”. Your company doesn’t have to be the size of Google before you think about stimulating staff creativity.
It makes the office smell great. Coffee was number for in the top 20 of Britain’s favourite smells in 2016. Filling the office a lovely aroma of coffee will make you a winner with staff and visitors alike.
