Product mix
The offer is predominantly based around hot drinks and Café Sol’s own
range of high quality sandwich, salad and panini products.
This is complimented with cakes, treats, bakery, snacks, juices, yoghurts,
fruit pots, soups, wet dishes and porridge.
The majority of these items are sold loose or packaged with Café Sol
branding.
Opportunities for Irish food and drink suppliers
Key growth areas are in the sustainable, renewable, Irish produced, plant
based, smaller portions, cleaner ingredient list and lower fat content food
products.
Fish products could be a growth area, in addition to hot meals, soups, wet
dishes and savoury hand-held deli products.
From a machinery and technology perspective, the company is looking to
become more efficient and labour saving through innovation in their shops,
production kitchens and delivery fleet.
