Why Consulting Firms Are Buying Their Own Coffee Roasters

from Service Business Talks with Fexingo: Consulting, Agencies, and Professional Services · host Fexingo

In this episode of Service Business Talks, Lucas and Luna explore a surprising trend: top consulting firms are acquiring or launching their own coffee roasters and cafes. While it may seem like a vanity project, they argue it's a strategic play for brand immersion, client retention, and talent perks. Lucas dives into the business rationale, citing specific examples like McKinsey's partnership with a premium roaster in Berlin and Deloitte's in-house barista program in London. They discuss margins, real estate footprints, and how coffee culture mirrors the consultative relationship. The conversation challenges listeners to consider how non-core assets can actually anchor core services—and why a great espresso might be the ultimate relationship management tool. #Consulting #Coffee #ProfessionalServices #ClientRetention #TalentStrategy #BrandExperience #McKinsey #Deloitte #Strategy #BusinessTrends #ServiceBusinessTalks #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Podcast #CoffeeRoasters #OfficeCulture #NonCoreAssets #LuxuryServices Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
