SM Hotels and Conventions Corporation (SMHCC) and Nestlé Philippines have partnered to launch the first-ever DASH Cart, a mobile coffee-on-wheels concept, at Pico de Loro Cove in Batangas. The unveiling took place at the Pico de Loro Country Club, attended by executives from both companies.

Maxi Gavino, General Manager of Pico de Loro Beach and Country Club and Pico Sands Hotel, shared, “We are thrilled that Pico de Loro Cove is the first to roll out DASH. More than serving coffee, it’s about creating experiences and memories that guests will carry with them.”

Tish De Belen, SMHCC Senior Operations Manager for Food & Beverage, explained that DASH began as a grab-and-go idea before evolving into a mobile concept in partnership with Nestlé. “While we begin here at Pico de Loro, more SMHCC properties will soon enjoy the same convenience,” she added.

Nestlé Philippines Senior Business Development Manager Ian Alcantara said the company is eager to bring the comfort of the Nestlé coffee experience to Pico de Loro’s members and guests.

A ribbon-cutting ceremony and a symbolic coffee toast capped the launch, led by SMHCC and Nestlé executives including SMHCC Vice President–Commercial Agnes Pacis, and Nestlé National Key Accounts & OCS Head Brandy Morales.

Now operating along the beachfront, the DASH Cart serves freshly brewed coffee and pastries. The concept is also available at Park Inn by Radisson Davao, with upcoming rollouts at Park Inn by Radisson Clark and Park Inn by Radisson North EDSA.
