CONTRACT ROASTING
Having a back up plan is always a good idea, no matter what size or stage your coffee roasting business.
Having a good backup plan is crucial for a number of reasons, both reactive and proactive:
Holiday cover for your current roasting staff
Emergency cover for unplanned staff absence
Planned maintenance cover
Roaster breakdown
One off large order fulfilment
Increased capacity requirement for planned company growth
Flexible & Immediate capacity increase when you need it
