Coffee wholesale: wholesale and partner cooperation with Ucoffee

Cooperation formats

The weight of the order determines the price level. The wholesale price for coffee applies from 10 kg, the partner price from 20 kg.

Items within one order can be combined freely: the threshold is counted by the total weight, not by the quantity of a single item. That is, 10 kg can be assembled from several blends and single origins at once.

Specific wholesale prices for coffee are listed in separate price lists that a manager provides for the format of your venue. Payment terms are agreed individually, the settlement currency is the hryvnia.

Coffee beans wholesale

You can buy coffee beans wholesale in two assortment groups: blends for an espresso menu and specialty arabica single origins. Both groups are roasted to order, so a venue receives fresh beans, not a batch with an unknown shelf life.

Blends — 7 items, 1 kg packaging. They differ in the ratio of arabica and robusta and in the roast level, so a different profile is selected for a different menu and different equipment:

• Middle Bar
• Gusto Bar
• Well Done Bar
• Royal Bar
• But Gold Family Studio
• But Silver Family Studio
• Bronz Caffe

Specialty arabica single origins — 14 items, packaging of 300 g, 500 g and 1 kg. Small packaging is convenient for a store display, the kilogram one for the daily work of a coffee shop:

• Brasil Mogiana
• Guatemala
• Honduras
• Cuba
• El Salvador
• Ethiopia Yirgacheffe
• Colombia Supremo
• Peru
• Burundi
• Colombia Decaf Co2
• Kenya AB
• Kenya AA Plus
• Maragogype
• Kopi Luwak

Maragogype and Kopi Luwak are rare lots that are ordered as a separate menu item or as a gift direction for a retail display. Colombia Decaf Co2 covers the request for decaffeinated coffee wholesale.

Roasting coffee to order has a practical meaning: the beans arrive within their working freshness window, and the store sells goods with a shelf-life margin. Coffee for a coffee shop, restaurant or hotel is selected together with a manager to match the equipment and the menu format.

Dropshipping and sale-or-return

The sale-or-return model suits online stores, marketplace sellers and resellers who do not want to freeze funds in stock. A partner sells coffee from their own website without buying the goods in advance.

The sale-or-return price list contains three values for each item: purchase — the price at which the partner buys, sale — the recommended retail price, profit — the partner's margin.

Shipping to the end customer is carried out by Ucoffee under the partner's waybill, so logistics and packaging are handled by the producer. Settlements are made upon the fact of sale. Cooperation starts with signing a contract.

Adhering to the recommended retail price is a condition of working under this model. This protects partners from undercutting each other and keeps the price of the goods the same across different stores.

Tea, cocoa and vending ingredients wholesale

Tea wholesale and cocoa wholesale are available as a separate direction of the catalogue. The wholesale thresholds of 10 and 20 kg apply to coffee, so the terms for these categories are agreed with a manager individually.

Assortment of the direction:

• Green tea — classic and flavoured
• Black tea — classic and flavoured
• Fruit and herbal tea
• Premium items and tea sets
• Cocoa
• Vending ingredients: hot chocolate, milk powder, cappuccino, instant tea

You can order tea and coffee wholesale in a single delivery — this is convenient for venues and vending network operators who cover their need for ingredients together with coffee.

Coffee capsules and drip coffee wholesale

Coffee capsules wholesale are available in the Nespresso and Dolce Gusto formats. Drip coffee is supplied in single-serve bags. The terms for these categories are agreed with a manager separately.

Capsules make sense where there is no barista and a drink has to be prepared quickly and consistently: offices, hotel rooms, small points of sale, waiting areas. Drip bags are convenient for conferences, catering and corporate sets: they do not require any equipment at all.

Coffee equipment: sales, rental, service

Together with the beans, the company provides the technical side. Coffee machine sales, coffee machine rental in Kyiv, as well as repair of coffee machines and vending machines are available.

Rental suits offices and venues that are launching a location and are not ready to invest in equipment right away. For vending operators, service is critical: a faulty machine stops sales.

A separate direction is barista training and tasting: at the company office or with a visit to the client. A tasting makes it possible to try the coffee before purchase and choose a blend for a specific menu.

Who wholesale cooperation suits

Coffee for business is supplied to venues of different formats — from a single location to a chain:

• Coffee shops and bakeries
• Restaurants and bars
• Hotels and accommodation facilities
• Offices and corporate clients
• Vending operators
• Retail stores
• Online resellers and sale-or-return partners

How to start cooperation

The sequence of steps is the same for a coffee shop, a store and an online partner:

1. Contacting a manager with a description of the venue format and the approximate volume
2. Selecting the assortment for the menu, equipment and audience of the venue
3. Tasting — at the company office or with a visit to the client
4. Receiving a price list with the corresponding price level
5. Signing a contract
6. First delivery and roasting of the batch to order

Delivery and settlements

Across Ukraine, orders are sent by Nova Poshta or another carrier as agreed, delivery is at the buyer's expense. Within Kyiv, address delivery by our own driver is possible, free of charge from an order amount of UAH 3,000.

The settlement currency is the hryvnia. Payment terms are agreed individually with a manager at the stage of signing the contract.
