  • Has this changed as a result of the pandemic?
  • What should a hot beverage offering look like and how does this vary depending on location, size of bakery and so on?
  • What are the benefits and challenges to this?
  • If a bakery doesn’t currently offer hot beverages, how do they get started?
  • What are the options and what level of investment is required for each?
  • When choosing a supplier, what are the key factors a bakery needs to consider?
  • How do you balance a hot beverage menu with a bakery menu?

This feature will also include case studies of bakeries, their hot beverage offering and suppliers.
