How to Choose Your Water Supplier for Hospitality
by Guillaume ZARKAThe water you serve reflects your establishment
In a sector where every detail matters, choosing a water supplier is far from trivial. Here are the key criteria to consider.
1. Water Quality
Prioritize spring water or natural mineral water with a stable mineral composition and traceable origin. Alpine waters are particularly appreciated for their purity and lightness.
2. Packaging
Plastic sends an increasingly negative message to customers concerned about environmental issues. Glass remains a classic option but presents challenges with weight, breakage, and storage.
Aluminum offers the best compromise: premium image, lightweight, durability, and infinite recyclability. It's an increasingly popular choice among high-end establishments in France and Europe.
3. Personalization
Being able to display your hotel's logo on water bottles transforms a commodity into a branding tool. Verify that your supplier offers this option, ideally with minimum quantities suited to your size.
4. Product Range
Beyond still and sparkling water, an extended range (functional waters, flavored waters) allows you to differentiate your minibar or room service offering. Vitamin-enriched functional waters appeal to health and lifestyle-conscious guests.
5. Environmental Commitment
Your guests expect consistency. A committed supplier (1% for the Planet, recyclable bottles, optimized logistics) strengthens the credibility of your own CSR initiatives.
6. Logistics
Delivery times, geographic coverage, storage conditions, order flexibility. These practical aspects often make the difference in daily operations.
Why More and More Hotels Choose Drink Waters
Drink Waters meets all these criteria: Alpine spring water, personalized aluminum bottle, range of 10 references (Still, Sparkling, and functional waters), member of 1% for the Planet, and proven logistics with over 3,500 retail points in France.
