Totally Self-Serve

 Interesting new John Lewis restaurant at New Street Station, Birmingham with two striking self-serve hot drink stations.  This will certainly bust those queues and keep the labour costs down.

Charge that Phone

 John Lewis' phone charging point.  Starbucks and McDonalds are rolling out their charging stations and it will end up like wi-fi - a cafe must have.

Cake, Coffee & Your Custom

Those wonderful partners at John Lewis are after your trade and offering coffee and cake to account holders every month.

Knowingly Undersold

Notice anything inconsistent?

Tea at Peter Jones comes with plastic milk jiggers.  Apparently you can ask for milk in jugs but John Lewis needs to wake up. Consistency of experience counts.

Macaroons on steroids

Seen at Peter Jones' rooftop cafe on Sloane Square: whoopie size (i.e. large) macaroons at £2.60 a pop.

John Lewis have redone the servery but its design is how not to do it. Check out the number of coffee machines and how you can pay for a main course and not even see the cakes. Great company but off the pace in terms of great cafes.
