Chaimatic Touch Installation at Nafees Sweet Centre Ltd, Manchester

Nafees Sweet Centre Ltd, located at 616 Stockport Road, Longsight, Manchester (M13 0RQ), has just enhanced its hot drinks offering with a fully branded Chaimatic Touch machine-supplied, customised, and installed by Absolute Drinks.

A beloved restaurant and mithai shop with deep roots in Manchester’s history, Nafees continues to serve generations of families across Greater Manchester, including visitors travelling in from Manchester City Centre, Trafford, Hulme, and major cities across the UK.

A Modern Hot Drinks Upgrade for a Manchester Favourite

Nafees Sweet Centre is a landmark name in the city-well known for its traditional Pakistani/Indian sweets, fresh bread, desi breakfasts, and restaurant-style curries. Its location also benefits from excellent access to the wider region, with nearby train and tram routes connecting customers to Manchester Airport, the North, the country’s major destinations, and many towns shaped by the Industrial Revolution.

With weekends, seasonal events, and high-traffic periods like Christmas, October, November, and December drawing large crowds, the team needed a fast, consistent way to prepare authentic chai without slowing down service.

The answer was the Chaimatic Touch, placed behind the counter so staff can serve customers efficiently across every hour of the week.

Custom Branding for a Signature Nafees Look

To reflect the Nafees brand-one recognised across the city and beyond-Absolute Drinks created:

• A bespoke branded machine wrap

• A custom animated screen saver displayed on the Chaimatic interface

This ensures the machine blends seamlessly into the restaurant space while keeping the Nafees identity front and centre.

Customers visiting from nearby venues such as Z-arts, parks, theatres, and local events immediately notice the premium presentation.

Authentic Chai, Served Fast and Consistent

The Chaimatic Touch delivers flavours that honour tradition while providing the speed modern service requires. Using powdered milk and premium chai blends, the machine produces:

• Karak Chai

• Pink Chai

• Masala Chai

• Traditional House Chai

Each cup carries the richness, aroma, and comforting warmth customers expect from a place with a story as deep as Nafees-perfect during cold Manchester weather, busy weekends, or a quick stop before heading into the city.

A team member shared,

“The machine has made chai service so much quicker, especially during peak hours. The branded design looks fantastic, and customers love the flavour. It’s been a brilliant upgrade.”

Supporting High-Footfall Service, Day After Day

Nafees serves hundreds of customers daily-from locals to travellers heading to or from the airport, families exploring the city, regulars ordering mithai, and visitors seeking authentic tastes. The Chaimatic Touch ensures:

• Faster service

• Consistent drink quality

• Smooth workflow for staff

• No delays during busy breakfast and weekend rushes

Whether it’s July afternoons, winter evenings, or major event nights, the machine keeps pace.

Installed & Supported by Absolute Drinks

Absolute Drinks handled everything-from supply and installation to branding and technical setup. With ongoing support, the Nafees team can rely on a system built to perform across long hours and high-volume service.

Tradition Meets Technology

Nafees Sweet Centre has built its reputation on heritage, flavour, and community. With the Chaimatic Touch, they’ve ensured that every chai they serve today and in the future carries the same heart and authenticity-while keeping up with the fast-moving world around them.

It’s a perfect blend of tradition and modern efficiency, served fresh every day.
