Eight questions a pub or club should ask any coffee roaster
A club pours coffee in bursts: the bistro at noon, the bingo break, the end of the function. Use this table on us and on every other roaster in the tender.
| Question | What to check | King Carlos |

| When do you deliver? | Named days, and what happens if you run out | Tue, Wed, Thu in Sydney. Same-day emergency supply |
| How fresh is it? | Roast date on the bag, not a best-before | Roasted weekly in Hurstville, every bag dated |
| What are the equipment terms? | Loan period, who owns it, what BYO changes | 12 months on loan, or BYO with no term |
| Who trains my staff, and where? | A person and a place, not support available | Bar, bistro and function staff at your venue, or at the Hurstville roastery |
| What happens when the machine dies? | Response time and whose number you ring | Techs in NSW, VIC and QLD, same-day where possible |

Why pubs and clubs switch to King Carlos
Volume comes in rushes, the bar staff rotate, and the machine has to survive all of it. Three things we build for.
A blend that holds through a rush
Re Firma is our most-poured house blend, built to taste right at a 22 g dose when the bistro queue is twenty deep and the person on the machine started last week. The recipe is written on the bench so every shift pours the same cup.
Equipment that survives a Saturday lunch rush
Commercial machines and grinders sized to your peak, not your average, from partners including La Marzocco, Bezzera, Mahlkonig, Mazzer, PUQ, Anfim and Eureka. On loan or BYO, dialled in on site, with technicians in NSW, VIC and QLD and same-day response where possible.
Judged, not self-declared
15+ medals across three independent competitions, in blend, milk and single origin espresso categories. Named, because a board or a tender panel needs something it can point to.

Pub and club wholesale questions, answered straight
Getting started
Do you supply pubs and clubs, or mainly cafes?
Both. 80+ venues across NSW, VIC and QLD include pubs, clubs, cafes, restaurants, hotels and offices. The club deal is built around rush volume, rotating staff and equipment that holds up.
Can we taste before the board decides?
Yes. The $40 sample pack is three blends with a dose card and recipe sheet, refunded against your first order. Run it through a real Saturday service.
Can a club group with several venues run on one account?
Yes. Multi-venue groups get one contact, one delivery schedule and one invoice.

What is the minimum order?
5 kg a week. Tell us roughly what the bistro, bar and functions pour and we quote to that.

Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday in Sydney with same-day emergency supply. Next-day courier to Brisbane and Melbourne. Regional NSW on a courier schedule confirmed when you sign on.
How fresh is the coffee?
Roasted in Hurstville the week it ships, every bag dated. No warehouse stock.
Equipment and support

Yes, on loan with a 12-month commitment, for venues that qualify on volume, sized to your peak. Or BYO and there is no term.
What happens if the machine breaks on a Saturday?
Ring us. Technicians in NSW, VIC and QLD, same-day where possible, and same-day emergency coffee supply in Sydney.

Our team, at your venue, on your machine, before your first delivery. Everyone who pours, bar, bistro and function staff, trained to a written recipe left on the bench.
Money and terms

Not on the coffee. The only term is the 12 months that comes with our equipment on your bench. BYO and there is no term at all.
