Installation planning

A good setup starts before switch-on.

From the proposed position to the first handover, plan the details that make your coffee and water equipment work for the site.

Plan the right setup

Five stages to discuss and agree.

01

Confirm the specification

Identify the exact model, functions, supporting equipment and intended demand.

02

Check the site

Review water, electrical supply, drainage where needed, access and service clearances.

03

Agree the work

Set out installation tasks, site responsibilities, exclusions and the schedule.

04

Install and hand over

Confirm commissioning, user instructions and any agreed training.

05

Plan ongoing care

Record cleaning responsibility, replenishment and the agreed service arrangements.

The details that matter

Measure more than the machine footprint.

Allow space for hoppers, doors, ventilation and service access. Under-counter tap systems also need room for their supporting equipment. Use the selected model’s specification, not the photograph, for final planning.

Installation readiness

Check the practical basics before installation.

Tell us what equipment you are planning and what is visibly available for water, power and access. It gives Café Perfection a clearer starting point for the site conversation.
Before the engineer arrivesConfirm the final machine position, keep delivery access clear, know where normal water/power isolation points are, and have the site contact available. Drainage and filtration requirements depend on the exact equipment.
