Pouring…

For retailers · San Diego

Turn six feet of counter into a coffee business.

We install the machine, supply the coffee and keep it running. You sell the cups.

The arrangement

Nothing to buy up front.

Frozen drinks already sell in your store. This is the same shelf behavior, with coffee margins.

Chino brings

  • The machine, installed
  • Chino coffee powder
  • Branded cups, lids and straws
  • The full corner setup and signage
  • Staff training
  • Servicing and support

You bring

  • Four to six feet of floor or counter
  • Milk and water
  • A standard power outlet
  • A refill and a rinse each day

Getting started

Four steps, about two weeks.

01

You apply

Two minutes. We only need the basics about your location.

02

We visit

We look at the space, the foot traffic and where the corner would go.

03

We install

Machine, signage, cups and a short session with your staff.

04

You sell

We refill and service. You keep the counter running.

First locations

The founding stores.

We're starting small on purpose. Our first San Diego locations get founding partner pricing, first look at new products, and a say in how the corner is built.

If you run a store near a beach, a busy road or a campus, we'd like to talk.

Questions

Before you apply.

What does the machine cost me?

Nothing up front during our first San Diego placements. We'll agree the terms with you before anything is installed.

How much space does it need?

Around four to six feet, plus a standard power outlet nearby. We'll measure on the visit.

How much work is it for my staff?

A refill when it runs low and a rinse at close. We handle the servicing.

Who sets the retail price?

We suggest $5.99 for a 500 mL cup so the brand is consistent across stores, and we'll talk it through with you.

What if it doesn't sell?

Then we take the machine back. We'd rather find that out with you than pretend otherwise.

Are you only in San Diego?

For now, yes. Apply anyway — we'll tell you honestly where we are and keep you on the list.
