A premium in-house barista experience designed to anchor connection, culture, and daily energy at Baker McKenzie's new Melbourne headquarters.
Baker McKenzie's move to 435 Bourke Street is more than a change of address. It is an opportunity to reset the workplace experience for 130 Melbourne professionals. A new building deserves a new daily ritual that brings people together, reflects the firm's global stature, and gives the team a genuine reason to be in the office.
Coffee on Cue delivers this through a dedicated in-house barista program combining specialty coffee, warm hospitality, and seamless operations. The result is a coffee experience that complements the workplace design and creates a natural gathering point throughout the day.
For a firm with Baker McKenzie's international footprint, Melbourne's reputation as a global coffee capital creates an opportunity to reflect the city's culture inside the workplace. This becomes a point of pride for your team and a talking point for visiting clients and partners.
Partnering with Coffee On Cue introduces measurable financial advantages by treating coffee as a strategic workplace service.
Employees spend an average of 20 minutes daily on external coffee runs. An in-house service converts this into productive work time, saving thousands of hours annually.
JLL recorded an 18% increase in office attendance following implementation. Premium amenities drive return-to-office through choice, not mandate.
Premium workplace amenities can reduce turnover by up to 25%, strengthening your employer value proposition and signalling investment in your people.

Underpinning our barista service is our custom workplace dashboard. Baker McKenzie will have permanent, ongoing access to this live platform providing total transparency and operational visibility.
Track daily and weekly patterns, peak periods and product preferences to see how teams naturally gather and engage.
Quantify your ROI with clear data on cost savings per cup, productivity uplift and annualised FTE hours returned to the business.

JLL's headquarters at 101 Collins Street is one of Australia's most prestigious commercial addresses. When Workplace Experience Lead Shaun Rogers set out to create genuine connection in their hybrid-first environment, Coffee on Cue became the anchor. What started as a coffee service became a daily ritual and a measurable driver of connection, wellbeing, and office attendance.
Monday attendance was hovering around 80 people in an office built for 300+. Leadership knew the answer wasn't policy, it was experience. The launch of Coffee on Cue in November 2024 became one of the most talked-about initiatives in recent company history.
