COVID-19 Ushers in New Era of
Touchless Coffee
Equipment and
Sanitary Solutions
How operators can identify the tools they need to maintain coffee
service's enduring role as an essential workplace perk

OVID-19 has sparked a flurry
of demand for touchless solutions to protect the returning
workforce from spreading the
virus. With safety as paramount to
today's consumers as convenience and
quality, suppliers have responded by
offering technology updates and new
equipment solutions to help operators serve their clients. Operators can

help employers keep their employees
on-site and feeling appreciated by
continuing to safely deliver office
coffee service (OCS) as the perennial
must-have workplace perk.

and systems have
become basic necessities for operators
as they revisit their

have been quickly adapting to serve
customers in a way that complies
with U.S. Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention (CDC) guidelines to
combat the pandemic.
"I hope things will return to
somewhat normal, but I don't think
they will ever be the quite [the] same,"
Webster commented. "And the trends
that we see during COVID-19 will
change how most people do business."
One of the biggest challenges
Newco faces as a manufacturer in the
new world of COVID-19 is getting
new ideas to the market quickly, while
also delivering high-quality, dependable products that ensure its customers' success.
"We do this by investing in new
technologies and getting creative,"
he said. "At the same time, we make
it a point to listen to our customers,
find out what exactly their needs are
and how we can develop products
to help them. Our goal is to have a
broad assortment of solutions to fit
the needs of our customers as they
navigate what is right for them in a
constantly changing environment."
Newco Touchless Solutions
is Newco's response to the recent
changes in the industry, encompassing
products and tips that help reduce -
or, in some cases, eliminate - touchpoints on brewers and equipment.
Webster noted that there is no
shortage of technology to aid in this
endeavor, including Bluetooth, WiFi,
