In from the cold – An opportunity to grasp

Tuesday 13 January 2009 11:44

It’s cold on the outside just now, but keep your customers warm and brighten up your January.

A cup of coffee or hot chocolate is a great warmer-upper when coming in from the cold.  Encourage customers with hot drink specials.  Offer a larger size -Massiccio – Nescafé® coffee for an extra 25p; good value for customers and extra margin for caterers (call 0800 742 842 or visit
www.nescafe-beveragesolutions.co.uk for details of the free POS package).  And bubbly Aero® hot chocolate is just the drink for those with a sweet tooth.

Here are a couple recipes ideal for this icy blast :
