Top 4 Ways Natura Water Can Save You Money in 2022

Top 4 Ways Natura Water Can Save You Money

Maybe you think a filtered water machine is a luxury you can’t afford. But did you know that a Natura water machine can pay for itself in money saved—and money earned? Here are four ways you can use a Natura carbonated water dispenser to put money back in your pocket.

1. Put water on the menu

You can create your own signature beverages using filtered Natura sparkling water as a base. Augment with various juices, syrups, mixes, and fruits. But they’re still mostly water, coming straight from your tap at pennies a glass, allowing for significant margin.

2. Employees spend less time refilling water, more time on profitable activities

Offering complementary water has become expected of restaurants. Unfortunately, every second an employee spends refilling water glasses is a second taken away from moneymaking activities. Natura attacks the problem two ways. First, by creating the opportunity to place a full carafe of Natura filtered water on the table for guests to refill themselves. Second, by giving establishments the option of charging for a “water upgrade” via filtered mineral water or sparkling water provided by your Natura system. Natura taps are also three-times faster than bar guns. This makes for quick work when staff need to refill carafes before or during their shifts. Plus, bartenders can focus on high-margin cocktails because they’re no longer being bothered to handle water refills.

3. Get bottled-water quality from the tap

Natura’s three-step filtration process delivers bottled water quality straight from the municipal taps you’re already using. Over the life of a Natura system, this factor alone with save thousands of dollars. Save the money you would have been spending on bottled and use it for something else. Natura is sustainable sparkling water—and sustainable still water, too.

4. Increase productivity through better hydration

Here’s one every business can benefit from. Companies can install a Natura water dispensing system and experience the benefits of increased productivity. According to a study by Weill Cornell Medical College’s Brain and Mind Research Institute, even mild dehydration of less than 5 percent can cause employees to fall into the dreaded afternoon slump. This water loss can suppress blood flow to the brain, which reduces cognitive performance, reaction time, and attention.

Combat dehydration by installing a still and sparkling water dispenser for your office that offers employees delicious, fresh, and clean water on demand. It will keep workers’ minds on their work and their bodies ready to tackle every task.

Should You Be Charging Guests for Water in 2026?

March 30, 2026

Should You Be Charging Guests for Water in 2026? In today’s evolving dining landscape, even the smallest details of the guest experience are under scrutiny—and increasingly, that includes water. What was once a simple, complimentary offering has transformed into a strategic decision point for restaurants. From still to sparkling, filtered to mineral-enhanced, water service has become an extension of a restaurant’s brand, values, and profitability. So in 2026, the question isn’t just can you charge for sparkling water—it’s should you? The Rise of Premium Water Service Across the industry, premium water programs have become more common. Guests are more accustomed than ever to curated beverage experiences, and that expectation now extends beyond wine and cocktails. At the same time, restaurants are facing continued pressure from: Rising supply and logistics costs Sustainability demands Tighter margins post-inflation cycles Bottled sparkling water, in particular, has become significantly more expensive due to transportation, packaging regulations, and environmental considerations. As a result, many operators are rethinking how water fits into both their guest experience and their bottom line. The Case for Charging 1. Cost Recovery Is No Longer Optional Margins remain tight in 2026. Charging for sparkling water helps offset real and rising costs—especially when compared to traditional bottled programs. 2. Guests Expect Customization Today’s diners are used to choice. Offering premium water—sparkling, chilled, filtered, or infused—aligns with broader personalization trends in hospitality. 3. Brand Positioning For upscale or experience-driven restaurants, premium water reinforces a commitment to quality. Just as guests pay more for craft cocktails or locally sourced ingredients, many see upgraded water as part of the experience. The Case Against Charging 1. Water Is Still Seen as a Basic Right Despite evolving expectations, many guests still believe water should be free—especially in the U.S. Charging can feel excessive if not handled carefully. 2. Perception of “Nickel-and-Diming” In an era where transparency matters more than ever, unexpected charges—even small ones—can negatively impact guest satisfaction and reviews. 3. Hospitality Matters Restaurants aren’t just selling food—they’re selling experience. If guests feel pressured or upsold on something fundamental, it can erode trust. The 2026 Approach: Balance and Transparency The most successful restaurants today are not choosing one side—they’re blending both. A modern best practice includes: Complimentary still or filtered tap water (clearly offered) Optional premium sparkling water as an upgrade Transparent pricing or inclusive service models Some operators are even adopting a flat per-table water fee (typically $1–$3 per guest), which includes unlimited still and sparkling water. This model simplifies service while remaining cost-effective compared to bottled alternatives. The key is clarity—guests are far more accepting of charges when they understand the value. How Natura Helps Restaurants Stay Competitive In 2026, operational efficiency and sustainability are just as important as guest experience—and this is where Natura systems stand out. By producing triple-filtered still and sparkling water on-site , restaurants can: Eliminate the cost and logistics of bottled water Reduce storage needs and waste Maintain consistent quality with every pour Improve sustainability metrics (a growing factor in guest decision-making) Instead of relying on expensive pre-packaged options, Natura allows restaurants to transform tap water into premium sparkling water instantly—reducing overhead while enhancing service. For operators who choose to charge, this creates a major advantage: lower costs = more competitive pricing = better guest acceptance. Final Thoughts Charging for sparkling water in 2026 isn’t about right or wrong—it’s about execution. When done thoughtfully, it can: Enhance the dining experience Support profitability Align with sustainability goals But when handled poorly, it risks damaging guest trust. The future of water service isn’t just premium—it’s intentional, transparent, and experience-driven .
