Real Results
Three businesses. Three different models. One platform.
Independent café, Dublin
Challenge
A busy Dublin café was buying bulk commodity coffee from a wholesale rep. Margin was thin and the brand on the bag wasn’t theirs.
Solution
They switched to a white-label blend through blend.ie. Same espresso, custom bag with their own name and colour. No new equipment. No contract.
Result
Retail bags at the counter became a second revenue stream. At 45 bags per week and 67% margin, the branded coffee line added €8,400 per year.

Gym chain, 3 locations
Challenge
A three-site gym chain had coffee machines at reception but were buying generic branded pods. Members kept asking where to buy the same coffee at home.
Solution
They launched a single branded coffee across all three sites using the blend.ie CaaS platform. One order, one invoice, shipped to all locations. No equipment cost, no storage commitment.
Result
Bags sold at the front desk and online through their website. Combined revenue across all three sites reached €22,000 in the first year with zero equipment investment.
