What do you need to know from an organiser in order to provide a comprehensive quote?

To give an accurate quote for an event, we would require the date of the event, location, amount of guests expected, occasion for event and whether or not there is access to power or water. It's also useful to know whether it's indoor or outdoor too. With this information we can then create a complete and accurate quote for the client and determine the best approach for the event.

What advice would you give to a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?

It's really useful to know the menu and whether or not they cater for dietary requirements too. Another thing to ask would be if they require access to power or water and how many servings of the product they can serve within an hour. This helps to determine how fast service will be during the event. If they have access to mains power for example, it may increase the power of their equipment, therefore their serving power too. Sometimes it can also help to ask about pricing structure, for example, I offer a full service quote or can offer an option of paying a flat hire service fee then keep a tally of the drinks served and charge back at the end of the event.

Please tell us a little bit about how and why you started the business.

I was previously a Production Manager in events, TV & film and saw firsthand how much coffee was loved by the teams on set or during an event. The coffee station is the place where people come to connect with each other and take some time for themselves. I love talking to people and have always had a passion for excellent customer service and I wanted to step away from the production role I had undertaken for so long, this is when RePause Coffee was created - to bring people together, provide service with a smile, brighten people's days and share my passion for coffee, whilst incorporating the wellness elements too.

Please tell us about a booking you've had through Add to Event, how did it go? Would you recommend us to others?

I have had many bookings from Add to Event and would highly recommend the service! It's easy to use, transparent for customer and supplier and has lots of events posted frequently. I have had many big public event bookings, including sporting tournaments and festivals which have been great fun - extremely busy and great fun! :) They've all gone really well and I've had many repeat bookings from these events too. I would definitely recommend this platform to anyone starting out in the industry and have recommended to many of my friends with their businesses too :)
