Running an office in Dubai means keeping costs lean without compromising team perks—starting with coffee. Near-expiry sourcing lets companies buy branded coffee that’s approaching its “best before” date (still perfectly good when used promptly) at significantly lower prices. For fast-moving office pantries, it’s a smart, low-risk way to stretch budgets and keep everyone caffeinated.
Why near-expiry works for offices
- High consumption = low risk: Offices churn through beans, ground coffee, capsules, and instant—so shorter remaining shelf life isn’t a problem.
- Real savings at scale: Bulk or recurring purchases can trim monthly pantry spend without changing what your team drinks.
- Simplicity for admins: Fewer vendor switches, predictable SKUs, and quick reorders keep procurement tidy.
What to stock
- Whole beans & ground for in-house machines and filter brews.
- Capsules/pods for quick single-serve at reception and meeting rooms.
- Instant sticks & jars for backup stations and field teams.
