Having a vending machine at work can be a fantastic addition as it has a whole range of benefits. They are welcomed and enjoyed by employees, and the knock-on effects of this can then be felt by the whole business. Here, we pick seven of the best benefits of having a vending machine at work.
Vending machines are great for people who are busy as they can get exactly what they want, when they want it. They contain a wide range of food and drinks which means your employees can grab a quick snack, a cup of coffee or even their lunch, all at the touch of a few buttons.
With a vending machine in the building, who needs to go shopping? Your vending machine can provide your employees with everything they need, meaning that they spend less time off site, and more time in the office, working to their full potential.
A vending machine is not just a place for high sugar, high fat, and high salt; it can also offer some great healthy alternatives. Whether you want a delicious soup, some fresh fruit or a sandwich, there are some great healthy options to choose from. By supporting the health and diet of your employees, you can earn their loyalty and be repaid through a reduced number of sick days.
A vending machine is possibly the lowest maintenance way to provide your workforce with great quality food and drink. Not only do you not need to worry about canteen or café kitchens, you also don’t even need to keep track of your own inventory.
Many machines can keep track of what is selling and what is not, and vending machine leasing companies can provide full maintenance packages which not only include cleaning and repairs, but also a restocking service too. You won’t have to lift a finger!
Keeping morale amongst your employees high has never been more important, and your vending machine can contribute to this. Giving staff what they want and making them feel valued can go a long way to increasing their productivity. If they are happy at work, they are more likely to give more while they are there – not to mention the benefits of the mid-afternoon sugar boost.
A vending machine works so that you don’t have to. It can be on 24/7, so it can work around any shift patterns. Employees can take breaks when they need to and not when dictated by canteen opening times.
Hiring and maintaining a vending machine can be an incredibly low-cost option, especially when compared to the cost of manning and equipping a full kitchen.
Vending machines are perfect in any workplace, as they can provide you with some obvious benefits, as well as a few unseen ones too. Installing a machine will be very popular and it won’t be long before your business is feeling the benefit.
