We have taken the plunge and have committed to opening a licensed restaurant in Brisbane within the next month or so, circa 70-80 seats.
Excellent food is the objective with less emphasis on espresso / tea.........at this stage. In our experience after an excellent meal with drinks a coffee finisher is a bit of a hit and miss.
Having said that we are looking for a good used 2 group machine for the restaurant as I just don't think a new machine is warranted, if proven wrong then of course we would upgrade in a flash.
I would value suggestions on which brand, single / three phase etc and of course suggestions for a grinder, I'm thinking grind on demand to maintain freshness.
Loving the Leva and Fausto combo at home. I think another Fausto may do well but I am conscience something with a little more speed and efficiency will be needed.
Looking forward to hearing from the snobbery.
Cheers
