Specifying quantities
Industry rule for teapots: 1 per 4 covers, with a backup pot for stained or chipped pots in rotation. A 100-seat venue with strong tea program needs 25-30 teapots. Personal pots need higher ratios — 1 per cover. Café presses cycle fast and need replacement pistons every 6 months.

We've supplied equipment to all of these, and that experience helps us flag when a piece of equipment is right-sized or when a different model would suit your throughput better.
