Food Lifestyle Trends & Insights

In today’s competitive out-of-home coffee market, delivering consistent quality while optimising operations is key to success. That is why more coffee businesses are turning to IoT-enabled smart coffee machines - and you should too!

Before your delicious cup of NESCAFÉ was brewed from freshly roasted beans, it was a basket of raw green beans from cherries plucked from a tree halfway across the world. Every day, green beans arrive at a NESCAFÉ roasting facility, and every bean has its own story to tell. NESCAFÉ wants to make sure that sustainability is at the heart of the story because if beans could talk, we would want to hear everything they had to say.

Now you can share it with other coffee lovers and enjoy a special reward from Nestlé Professional.

As coffee culture continues to evolve, businesses must stay ahead of consumer preferences by offering innovative and delectable options. NESCAFÉ has launched two remarkable new blends—NESCAFÉ SMOOTH and NESCAFÉ Hazelnut—each crafted to enhance customers' coffee experience.

These premium offerings showcase unique flavours and promise to upgrade your menu and set your establishment apart in a competitive market. Let’s explore our new additions.

South Africa boasts a vibrant culture, a rich history, and a deep appreciation for a good cup of coffee. This isn't just a casual enjoyment; coffee plays a crucial role in fueling the country's bustling workplaces.

From the little red coffee berry to what we know and love today, coffee has become the key to fostering a productive and satisfied team in any South African workplace.

The coffee scene in South Africa is filled with opportunity! According to Statista Market Insights, the market is projected for a 7.21% annual growth surge between 2024 and 2028. This translates to a rapidly expanding consumer base with increasingly sophisticated coffee preferences. Nestlé Professional is here to help you tap into this thriving market.

From humble beginnings to bustling hotels and vibrant office spaces, Nestlé Professional has been the quiet hero behind countless customer experiences. We partner with businesses of all sizes, from cosy cafés to international hotel chains, to enhance their food and beverage offerings. But how exactly do we achieve this?

After surviving and thriving under the strict Covid-19 restrictions, the South African workforce is now ready to trade in the WFH approach for a more productive and face-to-face working environment. However, after enjoying the comforts of working from home and creating a functioning work-life balance, it is essential for companies to understand that their workforce will need to have a smooth transition to the office-based way of working. How can they give them that? By starting small, with something as simple as offering employees free coffee with the help of Nestlé Professional.

“What goes around comes around”

South Africa has lifted a handful of regulations, helping businesses in their quest to keep themselves  (and the economy) afloat. While this is a good thing on the business front, it can leave you, the employer, with concerns on how to navigate a healthy work culture in these “new”, uncertain times.
