Drinking water for shops, clinics and showrooms: a simple setup that never runs dry
Count staff plus a share of daily visitors: allow about 2 litres per staff member and around a glass per visitor. A shop with 8 staff and 50 visitors a day uses roughly one and a half 20L jars a day. Put the dispenser where customers can see it, keep one spare jar, and use fixed delivery days with a GST invoice for each bill.
Quick estimate
| Business | Staff | Visitors / day | Jars / week (approx.) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Small shop | 3 | 30 | 4–5 |
| Clinic | 6 | 60 | 8–9 |
| Car showroom | 12 | 40 | 10–11 |
| Office | 20 | 10 | 13–14 |
Where to place the dispenser
- Waiting areas and showrooms: where customers can see it — clean water on display builds trust.
- Clinics: away from the treatment area, with disposable or washable cups.
- Staff areas: a separate dispenser if staff and customers use different spaces.
- Never in direct sunlight or next to a window.
