This is a plug for a great espresso catering vendor we used in the Portland market. If anybody out there needs to host an event and wants to serve coffee/espresso you may want to consider these guys....
The Waggener Edstrom Staffing team contacted Gretchen Oberle with Best in Brew for the launch of our new/re-invigorated employee referral program. We wanted to do something this year to get people energized and passionate about the program again. We wanted something people can see, touch, taste and hear. We decided that we would give away a Vespa Scooter! We developed a launch event that had a quaint European feel. We borrowed a red Vespa Scooter from the local Portland Vespa dealer and had Best in Brew come in to serve espresso.
The event was a big hit! Best in Brew came in early to get set up. They were very open to setting up their cart in a location that we chose and let us put marketing materials up on their cart. We placed our Vespa near their cart and a large retro picture of Henry Fonda behind the Vespa.
We then announced to our employees that we would be serving free espresso! Our employees came in droves and Best in Brew moved them through quickly. We have tried other coffee/espresso caterers in the past but their coffee was bitter and the lines were slow. Best in Brew made excellent drinks. Many people came back for seconds—including the Staffing team! The entire event was a huge success and I believe the biggest attraction was the free lattes. The Best in Brew staff were very friendly and polite and excellent to work with as a vendor.
