The Straw Is Doing More Work Than You Think
Share
As a café or restaurant owner, you're already doing a hundred small things right.
You’re thinking about margins.
You’re watching waste.
You’re dialing in menus, sourcing better ingredients, refining the experience.
Straws usually aren’t part of that conversation. Not because they don’t matter, but because they’re assumed to be handled.
They’re inexpensive.
They’re constant.
They touch every single drink...
The first time your customer interacts with your signature drink is when they sip it through... you guessed it... the straw.
This is a missed brand moment.
Your drink should be served in a way that is as unique as your business. From custom colors that are on brand to custom sizes that can't be found anywhere else, you should stand out.
Adequate works. But is it memorable? Is it social media worthy?
Straws aren’t the star of the show, but they’re part of the moment that makes the impression that creates repeat customers.
When that system runs smoothly, no one notices.
And that’s usually the point.
