Hire a barista for your event
A barista is much more than just someone who serves coffee. They are a skilled professional who specialises in espresso, milk texturing and flavour balance. Our baristas work with professional espresso machines and high-quality speciality coffee. They ensure that coffee is not just an afterthought, but becomes an experience in its own right. From the aroma of freshly ground beans to a perfectly poured cappuccino: everything contributes to the atmosphere and ambience of your event.

Why more and more companies are opting for in-house baristas
More and more companies are deliberately opting for live baristas rather than a standard coffee machine. A barista fosters interaction, attracts people and encourages them to engage. At trade fairs, visitors linger longer; at corporate events, spontaneous conversations arise; and at conferences, coffee becomes a moment of relaxation.
What’s more, a barista exudes care and professionalism. It shows that you are investing in your guests, staff or business contacts. Good coffee is therefore not just a service, but a calling card for your organisation. Find out more about hiring a barista for your business.
Hire a barista with or without a mobile coffee bar
Would you like to hire a barista on site without a mobile coffee bar or espresso machine? That’s possible. We also hire out our baristas on their own, for example when professional equipment is already available.



In practice, around 95 per cent of our customers opt for a fully managed solution including mobile coffee bar, a professional coffee machine, coffee beans, milk and all the essentials. This ensures peace of mind, a well-organised setup and a professional look. Curious to see what this would look like at your venue? Then take a look at our on-site baristas or read more about hiring a mobile coffee bar.

What to look out for when hiring a barista
When hiring a barista, there are a number of important factors to consider.

Practical considerations such as the power supply, space and throughput also play a major role, particularly at busy times.
At Bar Company, we take care of the whole process for you. We advise you in advance on what will suit your event and ensure that everything is just right, both technically and practically.
