Colombo, Wednesday 08th June 2020: ‘LET THERE BE COFFEE’ is the latest initiative launched by Barista emphasizing on the magnitude of having a companion by your side to get through these difficult times. Barista is working on a series of new projects to ensure that the local community should not compromise on coffee at any cost as coffee could be the safest companion at such trying times.  Partnering with the innovative KOKO App gives the opportunity to mutual customers of Barista and KOKO to pay for any purchase at Barista in 3 installments. This allows the customers to freely enjoy coffee, food and snacks without a hassle or any unwanted economical pressure, or to celebrate any occasion by splitting the cost in to 3 installements.

Barista Coffee Lanka (Pvt) Ltd. signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the KOKO APP developers dInnovation (Private) Limited on the 25th of May 2022 at the Barista Outlet at World Trade Center.

Chief Executive Officer of Barista Dilupa Pathirana speaking during the partnership signing ceremony said, “With the current volatile economic and other Macro environmental factors Barista wants our customers to not compromise on their daily coffee. We strongly believe that this option will encourage them to rally around the largest and the most preferred café chain in Sri Lanka, while not having to think twice about what it is costing them”.

Barista has been brewing the finest Lavazza coffee since 2002 in Sri Lanka and even amidst the uncertain time have continued to only serve the finest Lavazza at all outlets.

“Despite the challenges we have not opted for dropping the quality of our coffee or cutting costs. Our customers have been our greatest strength for many years and we do not want to damage the trust that customers has placed in us”, Pathirana added.

Barista products will be available for purchase the KOKO app as well and KOKO will be a new payment option at all Barista stores and online platforms facilitating the 3 installment payment opportunity. The project will be launched on the 10th June 2022.
