A barista-managed experience built for a financial services HQ — the kind of hospitality your clients feel from the lift, and the daily ritual your team looks forward to.
Balmain’s move into Level 11 at 126 Phillip Street is a deliberate statement. A firm that has originated over $35B in commercial property loans since 1979 does not choose a building like this by accident, and the reception is the first thing every client, broker, and investor encounters when they walk through the door.
Coffee, served with care and intention, is one of the most effective ways to honour that first impression.
A full-service barista program means every person in your building, whether staff, visitors, or the clients your CEO and chairman meet with, receives the same exceptional standard, without compromise and without exception.
Sydney’s financial services clients judge an experience the way they judge a deal: in the first thirty seconds. A flat white made on a La Marzocco, by a real barista, in your own reception, communicates something a pod machine or a cart simply cannot. It also compounds quietly over time, delivering better mornings, better meetings, and a daily reason your team chooses to be in the office.
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.
Communal coffee spaces encourage cross-team interaction and spontaneous collaboration. Happier employees are up to 20% more productive (University of Warwick).
Underpinning our barista service is our custom workplace dashboard. Balmain NB Commercial Mortgages 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.
Monitor CO₂ saved, single-use plastic avoided, and cups diverted from landfill. Set custom goals aligned with Balmain NB Commercial Mortgages's ESG commitments.

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.
Leading since founding Coffee on Cue in 2013. Ryan drives innovation, sustainability and strategic partnerships. Your commercial lead.
Your dedicated account partner for service optimisation, strategic growth, and day-to-day communication.
Leading the operations team across Victoria. Paul oversees daily service delivery, barista management, and site performance.
Every coffee break taken outside the building costs you time. A barista in your office removes the round trip. At scale, that's a material number.
Estimates time recovered by keeping coffee on-site. Actual ROI will be higher when attendance lift, retention improvement, and wellbeing gains are included.
