WHAT YOUR BUYING TEAM NEEDS TO KNOW

The menu, the service
and the repeat order.

01

Beverage range

Define the drinks, working volumes and serving presentation so the cup family reflects the menu.

02

Cup & saucer fit

Review the base, saucer well, handle access and proportions as one service combination.

03

Daily operation

Discuss storage, washing, handling and replacement needs when defining the product specification.

01 / PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT

A coordinated range.
A consistent service.

A coffee range can span several volumes while retaining a shared design language. The purchasing brief should identify which cups share saucers and how the full set will be used.

The CLUB HOUSE references in the profile show long-term coffee collaboration and collection development. Use them as a starting point for discussing your own operational and visual requirements.

02 / MANUFACTURING DETAIL

The finish changes
the experience.

Matte colors and hand-painted finishes create different visual effects and approval needs. Review glaze feel, color variation and the finish around the rim and handle on physical samples.

For daily service, connect the chosen appearance with the washing, handling and performance requirements of your operation.

FROM REVIEW TO RELEASE

A clear route to approval.

01

Define the family

List the required forms, variants, quantities and use conditions.

02

Develop the sample

Review dimensions, structure, finish and decoration on a physical product.

03

Confirm acceptance

Agree the reference sample, test scope and packing configuration.

04

Plan production

Review the order mix, release requirements and production schedule.

03 / BEFORE THE FIRST ORDER

Approve the product.
Plan the delivery.

A product specification should connect the approved sample with the order: artwork revision, variant quantities, packing arrangement and labeling all need to agree.

Share your destination market, required arrival window and any retailer or distribution requirements early. The quotation and schedule should reflect the complete scope.

PROCUREMENT QUESTIONS

The details worth asking.

Can we develop a complete café range?

Yes. List the required beverage sizes, cup and saucer pairings, finishes and launch quantities for a coordinated review.

Can different sizes use one saucer?

That depends on the cup bases and saucer geometry. Confirm the intended combinations during sample development.

Are hand-painted pieces identical?

Hand-applied finishes can show variation. Agree a physical reference range and acceptance criteria suitable for the intended collection.

What should we send for a quotation?

Include the drawings or reference images, dimensions, target quantities, finish, packaging and intended market. Add the target launch date and any required test or inspection scope.
