Locale Coffee Roasters is still roasting great coffees and doing everything it can to support its café partners through COVID-19. Locale has taken every precaution to ensure it can keep customers caffeinated as long as possible.
As always, the health and safety of its staff and customers is its number one priority. Locale has ramped up the recommended hygiene practices and is obsessively washing hands and sanitising every surface.
Locale has put distancing measures in place for its roasting and production crew and altered its cupping protocols as advised by the Specialty Coffee Association. Those that can work remotely have been doing so since the end of March. Locale will keep monitoring the situation closely and adjust its practices as required.
Other than that, it’s business as usual for Locale, unless instructed otherwise. It is also shipping online orders daily to keep customers caffeinated from home. And to say, “thanks for your support”, Locale is offering a 20 per cent discount on all retail orders over $60, plus free shipping. Simply use the code #localefamily at the checkout and it will restock your home supply in a jiffy. Or better yet, buy Locale beans direct from your local café to help give them a boost in these tricky times.
The best advice it can offer is be kind and have empathy for fellow humans. Reach out to those in need and support local cafés and restaurants where you can. The next few months will be especially tough on small businesses, but Locale is proud of the way our industry has continuously adapted. We’ll get through this with the ongoing support of our communities – buying that daily takeaway coffee from your local café can make all the difference. Remember, we’re all in this together.
