For Cafes
Free on loan (FOL) or equipment on loan (EOL) was first introduced by roasters to differentiate in a competitive market. While it may seem convenient, nothing is ever really for free. The roasters rightly need to cover their costs and that's achieved by adding margin onto the purchase price of beans. This might work for some but these days, more roasters and café's are looking for greater clarity and transparency. Simply put, your roaster gives you the best price on beans and you can invest in your own coffee equipment. At the end of the term, you have an option to own the asset or upgrade to a new coffee platform.
See how you can do that with Counting Beans for less.
