Environmental Plastic Pollution

Environmental plastic pollution is a major concern today, as it has been for many years now. Refresh Beverages has been supplying postmix carbonated (soda) water systems to Australian businesses for more than 25 years.

During this time we believe we have potentially saved hundreds of thousands of plastic bottles from being used once, and then potentially ending up in landfill or even worse, in our oceans not only as waste pollution, but as harmful microplastics that are terribly detrimental to the environment. Refresh Beverages’ postmix systems provide a fantastic way to minimise plastic pollution as well as being a much more cost effective drink solution for your business. They don’t use single use plastics and produce no waste products.

Refresh Beverages is located in Torquay Australia, on The Great Ocean Road. We are passionate about looking after our oceans and waterways. They are part of our backyard and we believe its important that we look after them not only for us, but for future generations to come.

Thinking of upgrading your postmix system or not happy with the service from your current supplier? You do have options.
Call us to find out if we can offer a more affordable and environmentally friendly option for your drink dispensing requirements.
We are reliable, fully qualified and 100% Australian owned and operated.

You can contact us by Email : drinks@refreshbev.com.au, or drop us a line on Phone: 0407 802 155

We look forward to discussing any post mix dispensing requirements you may have for your business.

thin, sea, fence

With Victorian Hospitality taking very tentative steps toward re opening its doors to the public (again), we are starting to see some of our customers with a bit more spring in their step, with the hope that this will be the last time that we will need to close our doors to our customers.

With most businesses trying to find the path back to an acceptable level of trade, while balancing profit margins, there has never been a more opportune time to reassess our day to day operations.

Local business owners are looking for better alternatives and local suppliers more and more these days, to ensure their business has its maximum potential to thrive once again, especially until our venues are allowed to trade at the maximum capacity that we all built our business models around. Supporting local has never been more important than it is right now, we all need to work together to help each other through the sometimes difficult times we are living in.

If you are sick of paying too much for your post mix drinks, now may be the perfect time to give us a call to find out how we can not only help significantly increase the profit margins on your mixed drinks, but ensure your post mix equipment is maintained to operate at its optimum levels at all times by our local qualified technicians.

Post mix system upgrades

postmix system upgradesEveryone seems to be renovating or upgrading their venues lately.

We’ve been busy working alongside our existing customers completing post mix system and beer system upgrades.  Many new customers have recently begun enjoying our reliable customer service.  Furthermore, they are benefiting from our competitive pricing policy.

The hot weather seems to have left us in the southern states.  This seems like a good time to have a think about doing any improvements to your venue drinks dispensing area.  It may be a simple case of rearranging a few things for better work flow.  Maybe its time for some more serious repairs to take place in preparation for the busy summer months latter this year.

You could be in the early stages of planning a new venue.  Even if its currently just a thought bubble, we can probably help get you thinking up new ways and ideas to improve your venue.  Why?  Because its what we spend most of our days doing.  We visit so many venues on a daily basis, where we are exposed to many different ways to set things up.  Workflow is not only important to profits, its also important to your staff.  When workflow is efficient, its much more user friendly for your staff to work with.  We work alongside you and help you to best plan and design workflow efficient bar for your situation.  Not some off the plan design that doesn’t suit your needs.

Thinking about upgrading your post mix system or not happy with your current supplier?  You do have options.  Call us to find out if we can offer a more affordable, reliable option for your drink dispensing requirements.  In addition, we are fiercely proud of our back up service on both our own equipment and also our customers’.

Qualified and certified technicians

In addition to our post mix and beer systems services.  Did you know we have fully qualified and insured commercial refrigeration technicians on our staff?

We are arctick certified to work on all refrigeration systems.  Our license and certification allows us to repair our own equipment in house.  This is important as it ensures time efficient repairs to equipment with less downtime to you.  This also ensures that we are repairing our systems in the most environmentally friendly way possible.

Some post mix suppliers aren’t licensed to repair their own equipment.  They can’t repair the refrigeration part of their own machinery.  They’re required to use outside contractors.  This delay in repairs can be very disruptive to your business during peak times.  For example, during a special event, maybe you are hosting a wedding at your venue.

We can also assist you in the event of any refrigeration system failures you may have at your venue.

When you need our services due to a refrigeration system breakdown contact us.  Our team can normally fix any issues you may be having quickly and efficiently.

Need advice on where to start?  We are happy to to help out in any way possible.

You can contact us by phone on 0407 802 155 for our post mix products & services or email – drinks@refreshbev.com.au

Commercial Refrigeration Repairs

Commercial Refrigeration

We help a lot of our customers out when their commercial refrigeration systems fail.

Although commercial refrigeration service and repairs is not our core business, we do have fully quailfied and insured technicians who are always willing and able to try and help out our customers when an unfortunate breakdown  in their system does occur.

If you find yourself in this situation, give us a call and we will do our best to help you in any way possible.

Recently we helped a customer when they asked us to investigate a loud noise coming from their main refrigeration system.  On arrival we were confronted with quite a ‘mature aged’ unit dating back to the early 1970’s.  It was in quite a state of disrepair unfortunately.

This unit was still operational, but just barely.

Before works began

Before

 

At our customers’ request and for the sake of nostalgia, we set about rebuilding and retrofitting this condensing unit while keeping within a planned budget.

This unit is a Kelvinator Y72 Belt drive condensing unit over 40 years old, and it is from an era when we still manufactured quality items in Australa.  We always enjoy working on equipment that was made to last.

We are confident that with a little bit of regular preventative maintenance this unit will continue to reliably and consistantly help our customers to serve ice cold drinks from their refrigerated cabinets for many years into the future.
