Why Phase 2

A Mobile Espresso Bar Built for Corporate Events

Phase 2 is not a coffee urn at the back of the room. We bring a full mobile espresso bar to your office or venue. That means La Marzocco machines, trained baristas, locally roasted beans, and house-made syrups, all set up before your first guest arrives.

HR directors, office managers, and event planners across Kansas City book us because it makes them look good. Their team gets something worth coming in for. Our guide to choosing a coffee cart for a corporate event covers what to ask before you book.

Kansas City runs on its corporate corridors. Think law and finance towers downtown, campuses along College Boulevard in Corporate Woods, and offices on the Country Club Plaza. We set up cleanly inside all of them, on a single standard outlet, with no plumbing and no disruption to your facilities team.

Phase 2 also offers a mobile barista service for events across Kansas City. We also handle coffee catering in Kansas City for conventions, weddings, and brand activations.

Corporate Event Types

Corporate Coffee Catering for Every Kind of Event

Employee Appreciation Days

Show your team they are valued with a barista crafted coffee bar right at the office. HR teams and culture leads across Kansas City book Phase 2 for employee appreciation days, staff milestones, and monthly team treats. Your team forgets a pizza lunch by the afternoon. A made to order latte with your logo in the foam does not.

Conferences and Meetings

All day conferences, annual meetings, onboarding days, and company kickoffs at venues like the Overland Park Convention Center and downtown hotels. We handle any scale, from 50 person board meetings to 1,000 person company wide events, and our three cart setup keeps lines short even at peak. Firms like NAIC and JE Dunn use Phase 2 to keep attendees focused through long agendas.

Client Events and Executive Hospitality

A coffee experience that signals premium before the first handshake. Kansas City law firms, financial institutions, and consultancies, including Lockton and Polsinelli, use Phase 2 for client receptions, executive meetings, and board retreats.

Company Celebrations and Milestones

Product launches, office holiday parties, work anniversaries, and grand openings. A branded espresso cart turns a routine gathering into a moment people photograph and share.

Recurring Office Coffee

For teams that want coffee worth looking forward to every week, not just once a year. We offer weekly, biweekly, and monthly barista visits for Kansas City offices. Ask about our recurring office coffee program.

Why NAIC Has Booked Phase 2 Seven Times

Every October, the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) hosts a major meeting in Kansas City. Phase 2 serves about 200 to 250 guests in two hours with two coffee carts.

The building has a tricky loading dock, so we work out timing and access with security ahead of time. Fall favorites like pumpkin spice, cinnamon toast, vanilla, and mocha lattes keep the line moving. NAIC has rebooked us seven times.

We've also run multi-cart setups and employee activations for Lockton.
