Break rooms can be very important to producing great workplace culture, as well as a recharge zone for employees to have a refreshment and stay… on track with their tasks. Here are five tips for improving your workplace vending solutions.
Tip 1: Bring in a vending service
Bringing in a vending service can refresh your break room by a large amount. Doing this can turn your breakroom into a re-focus area for employees to take either a quick break or lunch. This changes the “room with tables and chairs” to somewhere your staff members can go to eat or drink a refreshment. Generally break room vending services provide two pieces of vending equipment, a snack unit, and a beverage unit. Snack units hold items such as Chips, Chocolate Bars, Candy, and healthy options. On the beverage side, there’s usually a variety of juices, sodas, diet sodas, energy drinks, water, and more.
Tip 2: Replace a current unsatisfied service
Improving your break room could also mean refreshing something you already have. For example, if the workplace is being provided with vending services in their break room but it’s a poor service, this follows under the basic break room status as written up above (“Tables, Chairs, Empty Vending Machines”) but what if there was another option? there is. Improving a vending service can look such as having digital payment devices attached to equipment, having providers service the equipment when inventory gets low, and having the proper options to provide for your employees.
Tip 3: have options available that employees enjoy
Products within vending machines can vary to all different types, but it all comes down to what your people like and every workplace can be different. As we are a vending service here in Ottawa we use a 24/7 live monitoring system that doesn’t only give us live stock levels of our equipment but it also gives us product preference data so we can replace slow-moving unpreferred items.
Tip 4: Provide access to healthier options
Healthier options are now becoming more and more popular, here at Vend Pro, we provide our service with a variety of healthy options so people of all eating habits have access to their favorite refreshments. Our most popular healthier items insist on (Clif Bars, Nature Valley Granola Bars, Baked Lays BBQ, G2 Fruit Punch, Glacier Freeze Gatorade Zero, Grape Propel)
Tip 5: do quarterly surveys to improve product selection
Sometimes product the selection can get “get old” as we humans tend to like different snacks and beverages as time goes on and as new items are introduced. Unlike dogs or cats that eat the same food for almost years, people like variety and sometimes change. Doing a quick quarterly monthly survey on bringing in different snacks and beverages can improve the enjoyment within the breakroom as well as stay on trend with the latest and most popular refreshments.
