Behind The Arc
Why we started
More than ever, people are craving real, face to face human connection. This has lead to massive growth in the events space. In the world of AI, we all want some real experiences, and to share experiences with other real people.
One of the biggest things that we love to connect around is coffee. For so many of us, coffee is so much more than a quick energy boost. It is something to share and to gather around. It is a core part of our culture and communities.
In Australia, people generally have high standards of what coffee should be. We know that hosts want to impress their guests, but too often, we've seen coffee be an afterthought. A jar of instant on a trestle table with an urn of hot water, and a bottle of milk from Woolies. Our idea was to make event coffee even easier and a million times better. To bring real cafe drinks and barista culture to events, with nothing to think about for the hosts. Our highly trained baristas bring cafe quality equipment and serve a full cafe menu of coffee and drinks.
All you have to do is click a few buttons and your event or office space becomes a beautiful coffee shop.
What we stand for
Our values
Quality without compromise
Specialty-grade ingredients, dialled-in espresso, silky textured milk. We don't cut corners because the coffee is the whole point.
Genuine hospitality
We show up prepared, professional, and ready to deliver. Every guest gets the same care — from the first cup to the last.
Effortless for you
Self-contained, reliable, and completely fuss-free. Leave the coffee to us.
Our coffee
Considered ingredients. Every time.
Our espresso blend is sourced from Blackboard Coffee Roasters — one of Australia's most respected independent roasters — chosen specifically for its consistency, depth, and how it performs under event conditions. It dials in cleanly, holds up across high-volume service, and makes a genuinely excellent flat white from the first cup to the last.
Our milk range includes full cream, Oatly oat, and Milklab almond — not because they're trendy, but because they're the best available and they make better drinks. Oatly in particular steams beautifully and carries a significantly lower environmental footprint than dairy, which is part of why it's our standard rather than an afterthought add-on.
Every item on our menu earns its place. Nothing is there for novelty, nothing is filler. If we serve it, it's because it's genuinely excellent and we're proud to put it in front of your guests.
Our setup
Professional equipment. Clean presentation.
We run a La Marzocco espresso machine — the industry gold standard, found in the best cafés in the country. Our cart is fully self-contained with onboard water and waste management.
Power point and a flat surface is all we need. We handle the rest.

How pricing works
What goes into your quote
Every event is a little different, which is why we tailor each quote to your specific needs. Here's what we take into account when putting together a price for you.
Factor 01
Event size
Your estimated guest count determines how many baristas and carts are needed to keep service flowing smoothly without a queue.
Factor 02
Service duration
Longer bookings mean more time to serve more drinks. Duration is one of the key inputs in calculating your flat-rate quote.
Factor 03
Travel distance
Travel distance from our warehouse to your event location will be factored into your quote.
