How Home Ground Kiosk Launched a Scalable Summer Drinks Program for University Students

Home Ground Kiosk approached us with a clear challenge:

They wanted a summer drinks menu heavily focused on matcha while also needing a solution to serve up to 500 students efficiently during campus events. The team wanted visually striking, Instagram-worthy drinks that could be produced consistently and at scale, but weren’t sure how to make it operationally feasible.

We were engaged to develop the menu, create scalable canned drinks, and implement systems that maintained quality and consistency for high-volume student service.

Our Approach & Solutions

1. Summer Menu Development

We curated a range of matcha-focused beverages, including iced matcha lattes, sparkling tonics, and fruit-infused matcha drinks.

• Balanced flavours to appeal to a student audience

• Designed visually engaging drinks for social media impact

• Introduced limited seasonal flavours to create excitement

2. Scalable Canned Drink Solutions

To serve large student groups, we developed 3–4 promotional drinks optimised for canning:

• Tested recipes to ensure flavour and carbonation consistency across 500 units

• Branded cans to make drinks visually appealing and event-ready

• Streamlined production workflow for high-volume efficiency
  
  

3. Marketing & Campus Engagement

• Collaborated with student associations to maximise uptake at campus events

• Leveraged limited-edition cans and seasonal flavours to boost engagement

• Promoted drinks through on-campus visibility and social channels

The Outcome

Within weeks, Home Ground Kiosk achieved:

• A highly engaging, matcha-forward summer menu that resonated with students

• Efficient production of high-volume canned drinks with consistent quality

• Increased campus engagement and social media visibility

• Streamlined operations during large events, reducing service strain
  
  

The kiosk now operates with a menu that’s both visually and flavorfully appealing, supported by scalable systems for high-volume student service.
