Beyond the Buttons: Cafe Layout for Espresso Machine Success

October 17, 2026
Room 203A
Skills Training

Placing an espresso machine isn’t just about counter space - it’s about setting your café up for smooth operations, service flow, and long-term equipment performance. This session walks through key considerations for pre-installation planning, including power, water, and drain access, as well as environmental factors like ambient temperature and water quality. We’ll also cover how machine placement impacts workflow and customer experience, plus common layout mistakes (and how to avoid them).

Whether you're opening a new space or optimizing your current bar, this session will help you think beyond the buttons.
