#214: Helping Hoteliers Elevate Their Coffee Programs | with Gage Johnston


Listen Later

In this episode, recorded live at the Independent Hotel Show in Miami, hosts Steve and David sit down with Gage Johnston from Dalla Corte, a Milan-based manufacturer of premium espresso machines and grinders.

Gage shares how Dalla Corte is helping boutique and independent hotels elevate their coffee programs with innovative automation, Italian design, and practical solutions for low-staff environments. From the Icon Espresso Machine that simplifies latte art and recipe consistency, to strategies for reducing "coffee leakage" when guests leave for Starbucks across the street, this conversation dives deep into the future of coffee in hospitality.

You’ll hear about:

  • Why coffee is now one of the fastest-growing revenue drivers for hotels.
  • How automation helps hotels deliver café-quality drinks without hiring baristas.
  • The role of design, efficiency, and customer insights in upgrading F&B programs.
  • Practical advice for hoteliers looking to enhance their coffee offerings without overhauling their outlets.
