Coffee shop venture made easy via vendo

The coffee shop craze has pushed the ATM Water Ventures Corporation to introduce a Korean-manufactured coffeemaker and dispenser machine to encourage the opening of coffee-kiosk type of business in the neighborhood.

ATM Water Ventures Corporation, the company that distributes the Automated Tubig Machine (ATM), already disposed about 62 units of the Venice Coffee Machine, in a span of six months. According to ATM Water Ventures Corporation vice president and marketing director Anthony O. Leuterio, the machine is intended for entrepreneurs who want to start a mini-coffee shop, even in their own neighborhood. The machine is pegged at P62,000 per unit.

This means that with P62,000 capital, one can start a business in coffee shop, he said.

The machine can also function as a mobile coffee shop, and can be used in special occasions.

Leuterio said this small coffee vending machine, can produce 100 cups of coffee at one time. The owner could use his choice of coffee bean.

Since it is automated, an operator of a small neighborhood coffee shop does not have to invest on manpower, thereby assuring less operational cost.

He added that the machine is also targeted to carenderia owners, as most of the diners now look for coffee after a meal, not only for the mature customers, but younger people, including students.

The owner could also opt to buy coffee bean from the company as it also distributes DXN Coffee called Lingzhi Coffee, which Leuterio claimed is one of the best coffees in the world.

As coffee shops are now the popular meeting place especially those inside the mall, and stand-alone shops for quieter ambiance, Lueterio said Coffee Kiosks in the villages, large community areas, could be the next trend, providing affordable coffee products.

ATM Water Ventures Corporation is the company that started the Automated Tubig Machine (ATM), which also allows the lower segment market to avail of filtered water products at an affordable cost.

Filtered water product, which is processed in via reversed osmosis, is available in a peso cost, with all-automated system.

In the next few months, Leuterio said the company will introduce another product in Cebu, the automated laundry machine that will also be installed in villages, and large populated areas.
