Common Ground provides high quality espresso, matcha and hospitality service for production and creative environments.

Our setup is designed to integrate into professional work flows and operate quietly, efficiently and without distraction.

We exist to support the work at hand. Reliable under pressure. Calmly present. Deliberately discreet.

Everything required to operate independently within your environment. All equipment is thoughtfully curated and set up to be as discreet as possible.

• Commercial dual-boiler espresso machine and professional grinder

• Locally sourced beans, small batch ingredients and alternative milk options

• Ceremonial-style matcha preparation and select traditional tea selection

• Efficient setup, zero trace breakdown and self-contained water system

• Pricing structure includes everything, every time for upfront cost transparency

• Full compliance, COI and necessary permitting provided at booking confirmation

Service is structured around production blocks to ensure schedule clarity.

All that is needed is load-in location and preferred setup destination. Power source (standard outlet) preferred but not necessary.

• Touring crews

• Film and production sets

• Recording studios

• Private creative sessions

• Backstage and green rooms

We exist to serve environments where focus and execution are non-negotiable. With a fully mobile set up, we are adaptable to serve nearly anywhere.

We work with production coordinators to serve crews and venues locally out of Chicago, Milwaukee and Madison but provide tour catering wherever the tour is headed. We are also available for travel outside of this radius upon request.

We arrive up to 1 hour before service start time for set up, integrate into the environment by coordinating directly with on-site team lead, and maintain a contained and independent work space throughout service. So the focus can stay where it’s needed.

Small footprint. Completely mobile. Self-contained. Fully insured.

Our goal? Elevate the environment without interrupting the work.
