Post-mix in the office? Why traditional tap systems often fail – and the smart alternative.

Post-mix in the office? Why traditional tap systems often fail – and the smart alternative.

Classic post-mix systems are built for the catering industry, not for the office. Discover why hygiene and taste often suffer, and how ReDrink provides the solution.

The requirements for beverage supply in the office have fundamentally changed. Sustainability, ease of use, and variety are now the standard. Traditional post-mix solutions seem feasible at first glance, but reveal significant weaknesses in everyday office life. We show you why classic systems are unsuitable – and how ReDrink elegantly solves these problems.

Why traditional post-mix doesn't work in the office

Classic post-mix systems were developed for the catering industry. In a modern workspace, however, they often lead to frustration rather than refreshment.

1. Taste and quality: Often disappointing

Syrups from the event sector often taste artificial or too sweet. Today, employees want high-quality, natural Beverages. Organic options are usually completely absent from standard providers, resulting in expensive systems barely being used in the end.

2. Purchasing and logistics: Inflexible and expensive

Minimum purchase quantities and complex ordering processes through wholesalers do not suit agile office organisation. The result: office teams spend valuable time checking shelf life and cumbersome reordering.

3. Hygiene & maintenance: An underestimated risk

In the catering industry, specialists clean the lines daily. In the office, no one has this know-how. The risk: germ formation in the lines and lack of transparency about whether DIN standards are really being met.

4. Lack of transparency & control

Without real-time data, empty tapping systems always come as a surprise. In addition, data for sustainability reporting (CSR) is missing, which is essential for modern companies today.
