Micro Market Advantages vs Traditional Vending

A Micro Market is an innovative solution that offers your employees an open market in which to choose food and drink. What advantages do Micro Markets hold over traditional vending?

Variety

Keep everybody happy by offering your employees more options! Without the constraints of traditional vending machines, a Micro Market can offer snacks, drinks and food in all different shapes and sizes. Micro Markets also offer a larger array of products giving everybody something they are looking for!

Cashless Technology

No more fumbling for change or searching for that last dollar. Our Micro Markets offer cashless technology that give your employees options! From credit & debit cards to paying with your fingerprint, we make it easy to purchase what you need.

Healthy Options & Readily Available Nutritional Information

From healthy fruits and salads to protein bars and low-calorie snack packs, Micro Markets provide additional space for healthy options. Customers also have the ability to check full nutritional info on any item in the Market by simply picking it up and reviewing the label. Research has shown that informed shoppers tend to make healthier choices.

The Low Maintenance Option

No more stuck spirals or hung products! Find your favorite snack on the shelf and your favorite drink from the cooler and make your way to the checkout. Less moving parts = less maintenance calls!

No More Clunky Machines

Micro Markets are built to be pleasing to the eye and fit any location available. From breakrooms to lobbies, our professionals can help you pick a branding style that will complement your space. For more info on breakroom design, read our story on Creating Great Spaces.

Is your breakroom missing something?

Here it is! The list of essential items for your breakroom! Are you missing something?

Condiments

Ketchup, mustard and mayo! A great sandwich can be ruined without the right ingredients! The little things are noticed by your employees and their break can quickly go from stunner to bummer without the right offerings.

Coffee & Teas

We all know how important coffee is in the workplace but don’t forget about the tea! Tea is quickly becoming one of the most popular drinks in the nation and is the second most popular beverage in the world! Employees who don’t drink coffee will thank you for the option!

Healthy Snacks & Water

Keep your employees healthy! The importance of filtered water and fruit cannot be underestimated. Studies have shown that when healthy options are available employees are more likely to make better-for-you decisions.

Utensils

Nothing ruins a good salad like eating it with your hands! Forks, knives and spoons are a must.

Cleaning Supplies

If you provide it, they will clean it! Paper towels, wipes, hand sanitizer and disinfecting spray are all a good idea. Keep it clean!

Need help sourcing any of the above? Give us a call, we will bring it right to your breakroom!

Creating Great Spaces!

Thinking about creating a new space at work or remodeling an existing one?  There are a lot of important factors to consider when creating a commons area for your employees that inspires creativity and recharges your inner-battery!

Pick the right colors!

Choosing the right colors can make all the difference. Studies have shown that brighter colors can make you feel more optimistic and motivated, while other colors, specifically purple, can inspire creativity. Check out 99designs for a complete list of how colors can influence your mood.

Keep everybody in mind.

Everybody works and relaxes differently. When creating your space keep in mind that some people like to work or take their breaks standing up, some enjoy being seated and others want to put their feet up! Create areas within your breakroom that include varying heights of tables and different seating options.

Help your team be healthy!

Your employees are at their best when they feel their best! Don’t forget to offer healthy snacks and drinks that include filtered water and fruit.

Provide onsite food options.

Onsite food options are one of the most visible ways you show your employees you understand them. Do you need a cafeteria, micro market, pantry, vending or a combination of a few different options?  When making these decisions always take into consideration how many employees you have, the amount of time they have for break and what the goals of that break are. The options you provide can make or break the day!
