Coffee Solutions for Clubs & RSLs in Australia
At Pelican Rouge Australia, we understand that clubs are more than just venues—they are social hubs where members gather to relax, connect, and enjoy quality experiences. From the bustling front café and pokies room, to event spaces and members’ lounges, every area of a club has its own rhythm and demand for coffee.That’s why we provide tailored coffee solutions for clubs and RSLs across Australia, combining world-class coffee machines with premium beans, full service support, and flexible packages. Whether you need high-volume output for busy areas or smaller portable units for functions and events, we deliver a complete solution that keeps members happy and operations running smoothly.
Why Coffee Matters in Clubs
For clubs like RSLs, football and bowls clubs, and social venues, coffee is no longer an afterthought—it’s a key part of the member experience. Today’s club-goers expect café-quality coffee every time they order, no matter where in the club they are. A consistently great flat white or cappuccino can keep members staying longer, spending more, and coming back.The challenge many clubs face is balancing high demand with consistency. In high-traffic areas like the gaming floor or main café, staff turnover and barista training levels can impact quality. At the same time, smaller sections of the club may not need a full café setup, but still require a reliable coffee option. That’s where we come in.
Complete Coffee Solutions for Clubs
Pelican Rouge Australia offers a flexible range of commercial coffee machines and solutions designed specifically for the varied needs of clubs. Our approach focuses on three pillars:
- High-Performance Machines – robust equipment designed for consistency and reliability.
- Premium Coffee Beans – a range of blends crafted to satisfy diverse tastes.
- End-to-End Support – from installation and training, to servicing, telemetry monitoring, and supply management.
Coffee Machines Perfect for Clubs
We know that one machine doesn’t fit all. That’s why we provide different solutions for different areas of your club.
1. CAYE Smart X – Perfect for Busy Club Areas
The CAYE Smart X is built for high-volume environments like front cafés and gaming rooms. It’s ideal when you need speed and consistency without depending on highly trained baristas.
Consistent Quality – Even staff with minimal training can deliver café-quality coffee every time.
Modular System – If a module needs replacing, a technician can swap it in under five minutes, reducing downtime.
Telemetry Support – We can remotely monitor your machines, quickly identifying issues before they affect service.
High Output – Handles peak demand in busy areas with ease.
At Hornsby RSL Club, the Smart X is the hero in the pokies room and café—ensuring every member gets a reliable cup of coffee, even during the busiest times.
2. Dr Coffee Units – Flexible & Versatile for Clubs
For medium and low-volume areas, or as portable solutions for events, Dr Coffee machines such as the Coffee Zone T and Coffee Bar are an excellent fit.
Compact Footprint – Perfect for event spaces, members’ lounges, or secondary service points.
Versatility – Can be set up as permanent installations or moved to support functions and high-traffic periods.
