Beverage delivery in the Berlin office: What office managers really need
20 Aug 2025
In Berlin offices, the provision of beverages has long been standard. But those who organise it know: between delayed deliveries, chaos with empty bottles, and high costs, the drinks can become a burden. In this article, we show you how to make your office more efficient and relaxed with clever services like Flaschenpost, REWE, or ReDrink.
Why ReDrink & Water Dispensers are Worth it in Berlin Offices Now
Berlin is the capital of startups, agencies, and innovation centers – and in most companies, providing drinks is standard. However, HR managers, office managers, CEOs, and founders know this: from the delivery of plastic bottle monstrosities, to mountains of empties, to delivery chaos – it costs time, nerves, and money.
ReDrink offers a smarter way:
Fixed installed water dispensers (Post Mix, sparkling & still) – no ordering, no carrying, no empties.
Healthy & sustainable, as there’s no single-use plastic anymore.
Transparency & control, for example, through consumption dashboards.
Already in use in Berlin’s working environments – e.g., at HeyCater!, Parloa, AutoDoc, LiveEO, and many more
Comparison: Delivery Services vs. Water Dispensers (ReDrink)
Provider | Advantages | Challenges for Berlin offices |
|---|---|---|
Flaschenpost | Very fast delivery via app, wide selection | Deliveries often delayed, no reliable bottle return, elevator issue |
REWE delivery service / REWE GO | Selectable delivery windows, wide selection, delivery to the floor | Limited quantities of drinks, additional costs for large amounts |
HoffmannBringts | Over 4,000 items, bottle return, delivery to the door | Minimum order value (€75 net), delivery fee under order value, no express delivery |
OfficeDrink Berlin | Specialised for office supplies, invoicing, fast delivery | Only active in certain Berlin districts |
BüroGetränke.de | Delivery to the office, invoice, bottle return | Limited service area, more suitable for practices/legal offices than large offices |
Durst (App) | Wide selection, delivery time slots, app-based | No special focus on B2B or office structures |
ReDrink (water dispenser) | No empties, no delivery problems, healthy & sustainable | Initial setup needed, but long-term efficiency advantage |
Local Bonus Tips for Berlin Office Managers
Utilize district focus: REWE & OfficeDrink cover certain Berlin neighborhoods – check in advance if you are in the delivery area.
For example, OfficeDrink delivered to districts like Prenzlauer Berg, Neukölln, Charlottenburg, etc.
Cleverly solve express cases: Combine Flaschenpost & REWE for spontaneous events or meetings – with the water dispenser as a long-term solution.
Branded refill bottles: Employees prefer using water dispensers if they receive a cool, reusable office bottle – ideal as a welcome gift.
Outsource bottle service: HoffmannBringts or BüroGetränke.de will take back bottles on request – little organizational effort.
Conclusion: For HR, Office Managers, Founders & CEOs in Berlin
Especially in Berlin offices with over 50 employees, traditional drink deliveries are often overwhelmed – particularly without elevators. ReDrink addresses these problems: no heavy lifting, no delayed deliveries, no mountains of bottles, but healthy refreshment at the push of a button. And all locally, sustainably, and reliably.
