Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
"The Reading Room," a popular bookshop café in York, was looking to improve its hot drinks menu after customer feedback suggested their old hot chocolate was a bit lacklustre and overly sweet.
"We switched to the ODK Double Dark powder, and the reaction was immediate. We went from selling a handful a day to it being one of our most popular winter drinks. Customers comment on how rich and 'proper' it tastes."
Robert Green – Café Manager
The switch directly contributed to a 40% increase in hot chocolate sales during the colder months and significantly improved their customer satisfaction scores for beverages.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Always use a clean, completely dry scoop or spoon to measure the powder.
- Before first use, give the container a gentle shake to loosen any settled powder.
- Follow the recommended powder-to-milk ratio for the best, most consistent flavour.
- Prepare a small test batch to ensure the taste profile is perfect for your customers.
Keeping It Going
- Store the container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and steam.
- Ensure the lid is sealed tightly after every use to prevent moisture from clumping the powder.
- Keep an eye on the best-before date to guarantee freshness and peak flavour.
- Wipe down the container regularly to keep your service area clean and professional.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is this hot chocolate powder suitable for vegans?
A: The powder itself contains no animal-derived ingredients, so it is suitable for vegans when prepared with a plant-based milk like oat, soy, or almond milk.
Q: How many servings can I expect to get from a 1kg pack?
A: This depends on your preferred serving size, but on average, using a standard 25-30g scoop, you can expect to get between 33 and 40 servings per pack.
Q: Can I use this powder in a hot chocolate machine or dispenser?
A: Yes, its fine, soluble texture makes it ideal for use in most commercial hot drink dispensers. Always check your machine's manual for compatibility with powder products.
Q: What is the best way to mix it for a single serving?
A: For a perfect, smooth cup, we recommend making a paste with a small amount of hot milk and the powder first, then gradually stirring in the rest of the steamed milk.
Q: Does this product contain any nuts?
A: The product is made in a facility that may handle nuts. While the recipe is nut-free, it's best to be aware of potential trace allergens.
Q: Can I use it for cold drinks like iced chocolate or milkshakes?
A: Absolutely. It dissolves well in a little hot water or milk to form a syrup before being blended with cold milk and ice for a delicious iced drink.
Q: What is the shelf life of the powder once the pack is opened?
A: When stored correctly in a sealed container in a cool, dry place, the powder will remain at its best quality for several months. Always refer to the best-before date on the packaging.
Q: How does 'double dark' compare to regular hot chocolate?
A: 'Double dark' refers to a higher cocoa content, resulting in a much richer, more intense, and less sweet chocolate flavour compared to standard hot chocolate mixes.
