Romania.

opened
400 stores all overRomania
alone. With an increased international presence, 5 to go launched operations

This rapid expansion paired with an increased interest in coffee naturally
results in higher expectations when it comes to the quality of the final
product and service. Producing premium coffee-based drinks can be costly at
such a big scale. It would require highly skilled staff, continuous training,
and a significant amount of time. This is where
Latte Art Factory
comes in.

faster service

“5 to go has a strong presence in Romania and plans to double the business in
the coming years, reaching 1,000 coffee shops by 2027 and expanding the

context, makes us eager to discover solutions to help entrepreneurs in their
businesses and to secure a high quality and perfect taste for our coffee
products. With the help of Latte Art Factory, we can offer both while keeping
consistency in terms of taste, so important for a chain with this kind of
presence. We are eager to introduce this innovation in our coffee shops and
not only, to bring this automatic solution to work and to delight the
consumers with faster service, great taste, and special recipes of coffee with
milk”, said Radu Savopol, cofounder 5 to go.

concept is successful in establishing an emotional bond with customers, which
improves the brand experience. The company communicates with customers from
the moment they walk into a store until the moment they leave with their
coffee, by transforming each touchpoint into an experience – the coffee shop
setup, the barista, the mugs, the diverse portfolio, the constant and creative
communication. You can find 5 to go on their
