    • Discord has ~1,000 employees… let’s say 0% remote (heh, is it 100% or what?)
    • Avg of ~65% of employees (650 employees) drink coffee
    • Average of 3 cups of coffee per day per employee
    • 260 work days per year

    Cups per year:

    • 650 employees x 3 cups per day x 260 work days = 507,000 cups per year

    • For medium-sized office of 100 employees, cost of a turnkey delivery service is $15,000/yr ($0.68/cup)

    So for Discord:

    $0.68 per cup x 507,000 cups per year = $344,760 per year
