ABOUT US
The
Rixeyville Brewing Company, now operating under the trade name
Gusto di
Vita,
was
founded in 2001by the Brown family and is still operated as a family
business. Our kiosks were
the first in our area to offer gourmet espresso
drinks with the convenience of drive-thru.
Over the past several
years, we have developed a top-quality product line in order to bring
you the
finest quality coffee, frappes (smoothies) and other beverages.
Frustrated with the lack of charm and quality in the kiosks we had originally
purchased from
others, we designed our own
drive-thru kiosk in 2004. The first model was an 8x13 wood-frame
structure. The architecture reflected an old-world
Italian style while using the latest in modern
innovation and the highest quality materials. It was designed for minimal maintenance to
ensure that our locations would always look fresh and inviting.
Now we have created a new
and improved kiosk which uses a recycled shipping
container (or ISBU) for the basic structure.
We are very excited about this new
concept because, not only does it give us a very high
quality and rugged structure, but it
is also eco-friendly since for each kiosk we build, there's one
less shipping container piled at a
U.S. port. We still finish these
inside and out with the same
high-quality materials and have kept the same 'old-world' Italian charm in the new 20' building
so that by the time we're done, you'd
never know there's a shipping container underneath.
We also strive for
friendly and efficient customer service that goes beyond just passing a cup of
coffee out the window. In training our baristas, we emphasize
friendliness, speed, accuracy
and cleanliness. We want to make your stop
at our kiosks a pleasant and satisfying moment -
a little bright spot in your
day. We want the taste of our product and the quality of our service
to be
second to
none - to bring our customers back again and again.
We started with two
small kiosks and now operate four locations. We plan to keep growing and
are determined to continue to provide the best coffee experience in the
business. Try us and
see how we compare!
We believe that we have created a great business
model that can be duplicated in other
locations and have put together a
total 'biz-pod' package - building, equipment, products and
training - that will
allow others to establish their own drive-thru or walk-up gourmet coffee
businesses without having to learn a lot of things the hard way like we did when we first started
our business. If that's your dream, we'd love to hear
from you!
We also have plans to develop similar 'biz-pod'
kiosks for other entrepreneurs who want to offer
a read-to-open building to their licensees or
franchisees. "We think in the box, so you can think
out of it."
