subject: Reasons To Own An Office Vending Machine [print this page] Office vending machines are not some new or ingenious idea. They're practically a staple of most office buildings, but not every company has been sold on the idea. Actually, they can become a great addition to your office and will keep employees happy without breaking your wallet. If you don't think you have enough reasons for the investment, you might be pleasantly surprised to learn that it could be just what you're looking for.
First, and most certainly foremost, vending machines provide a consistent source of food for employees. We spend at least eight hours a day at work, sometimes more, and of course we get hungry. Sometimes you become very involved in your work that the last thing you want to do is interrupt your flow to go a few doors down for a cup of coffee or something to snack on. A vending machine will be quite convenient and won't take away from your time. Plus, employers might not like the idea of workers constantly leaving to get food. Likewise, employees don't want to look like they're not being productive every time they need a food run.
Office vending machines will most likely sell food at a much cheaper price than the local Starbucks. And for those who have a kitchen with a coffee pot, how many times do you encounter people complaining someone made the coffee too strong or too weak? It can be a real pain and then you're forced to buy coffee elsewhere everyday. Money down the drain. Coffee vending machines can let everyone make a perfect cup of coffee, no complaints. There is also the problem of heavy duty use. Dozens of people are using the coffeemaker everyday. They're not intended for heavy duty usage, but a vending machine is.
Vending machines do not have to be filled with just snacks. That time period is over. You can stock the machine with anything you, or your workers, want. From fruit smoothies to sandwiches to fruit, the office vending machine no longer has to be a source of fattening food. Everyone will really appreciate the selection of healthy choices, especially if your office isn't located in an area that offers the best of food.
Do you continually have guests and clients come to the office? It would be nice to offer them a refreshment. Providing a beverage or food will leave a lasting impression and make them, and their stomachs, happier.
With daily usage, the vending machine will pay for itself and it will not be a huge burden on your budget. How can you possibly say no with so many great benefits?
