How You Can Benefit From Vending Machine Snacks

1. Low Overhead Costs

Vending machines are a convenient way to feed a large staff with minimal overhead. They require a fraction of the budget to run a concession stand or cafeteria. Modern vending machines are built to conserve energy and only require a small amount of electricity to run 24 hours a day.

2. Easy, Risk-Free Vending Machines

By partnering with a professional vending services provider, Larimer FrictionFree Vending, you can have free vending machines at your workplace with no cost and no long-term contracts.  We have trained refrigeration and delivery experts on staff to stock and maintain the machines and keep everyone happy.  We will handle everything so that you will have convenient and easy snacks and beverages from clean, fully working machines.  

3. Keeps Employees Happy

When you go long periods without drinking and eating, your blood sugar drops, signaling your body to release hormones that can make you feel angry and stressed. Who wants stressed and angry employees? Vending machines with snacks and water will help keep your team fed and happy, so they have positive interactions with their coworkers and clients.

4. Improves Team Productivity

Vending machines can help boost team producutivy in many ways, including:  

• Save time: Vending machines are quick and easy to use, so your team can return to more important tasks.

• Improve morale: Happy people are up to 13% more productive..and food makes people happy!  Providing your employees with access to their favorite foods and beverages lets them know that you care about their well-being.  In return, they work harder for the team.  

• Fewer days off: Having healthy snack options right in their workplace encourages people to choose a nutritious snack instead of relying on junk food.  Employees who eat healthier often take fewer sick days, which means more time in the office working toward their goals.  

• Energy boost: You can maintain your energy all day by refueling with a small meal or snack.  Snack and soda machines can provide just that boost that is needed.  

• Staying hydrated: Drinking plenty of water increases your energy levels and boosts brain function. However, some people would rather go thirsty than drink tap water. Installing a vending machine with purified bottles of ice-cold water will encourage your employees to stay hydrated to fuel their productivity.

5. Employees Stay on-site

Restful lunch breaks are crucial to your teams’ ability to talk across departments.  A vending machine, especially one with healthy options, keeps employees on site and provides a natural meeting place for cross-department connections.  By providing access to meals in the workplace, your staff is more likely to collaborate on projects and build stronger relationships during their lunch break. Studies show that workplace meals lead to higher productivity and better job performance.

6. Customizable Options

You include your employees in business decisions all the time and your Larimer FrictionFree Vending machines are not different. We can help you poll your employees to learn what kinds of foods and beverages they prefer.  We’ll partner with you to curate these selections and keep close tabs on which items your employees prefer the most.  Over time, we can eliminate foods that don’t appeal to the entire staff.  

7. Snack Machines Promote Health and Wellness

You can promote healthy eating in your workplace by choosing high-protein, gluten-free, or low-sugar options in your workplace.  These wholesome foods can give hardworking employees a boost of energy so that can succeed.  

Larimer FrictionFree Vending strives to include at least 20% healthy snacks and beverages in your machine so that you are truly fueling your workforce.  We can provide color coded spirals on the machines to identify red, yellow and green foods to help employees make healthy choices, too.

8. Quick and Easy Access

The purpose of breaks is for employees to get a chance to rest and reset.  This doesn’t happen if it involves a mad dash to the car to get some food.  With a machine right in your warehouse, office, school, or business, employees can get a refreshment in less than a minute and use that break time to recharge as you intended.

9. Flexibility for Employees

When you offer flexible options for employees to grab a snack, they can do so when the workflow allows it and design their breaks around their most productive hours.  They can also grab a snack before or after work allowing them to get to where they need to go on time.
