As Australian consumers turn away from sugary sodas, soft drink sales are in steady decline. They dropped an estimated 2.3% in 2017 and that’s on top of the 4.7% plunge between 2014 and 2016. Amidst the fallout, there is an opportunity for venues to offer beverages that align with changing consumer preferences and lifestyle choices. 89% of Australian parents believe water should be the standard drink on offer in food outlets, while more than half of consumers dining out seek low-sugar alternatives.
The Purezza Premium Water solution is a versatile offering as the sparkling or still water can be used as a base to produce an array of flavoured drinks simply by adding syrups, mixers and natural ingredients thereby offering your customers a wider choice of beverages. Not only does this help set your business apart from the competition but at the same time you are removing the cost of ordering pre-packaged bottled water, saving you money.
If Australia introduces a sugar tax in the coming years, it could prevent almost 134,000 cases of diabetes, reported by ABC news. To prepare for this, venues can get ahead by making the most out of your Purezza system and producing simple yet high-revenue, sparkling beverages. Add, fresh ingredients to Purezza sparkling water to make home-made sodas, sparkling iced teas, cocktails and mocktails.
Watermelon water has become a multi-million dollar business in Australia. Watermelon helps lower blood pressure; it’s good for your heart, and it’s naturally sweet, so no need to add extra sugar.
