Refreshment Solutions for your Workplace Canteen

Central to employee wellbeing, connection and collaboration, the workplace canteen is a valuable location that needs to be treated as such by business leaders.

The problem nowadays is that many businesses still adopt old fashioned solutions that don’t meet the demands of every individual. For example, contract catering is usually only available at set times, meaning if one employee wants to take their lunch break a little earlier or later then they are out of luck.

The workplace canteen is designed primarily for employee use, so adopting refreshment solutions that don’t work for everyone is just a pointless expense for your business.

Fully managed vending machines eliminate the need for a controlled or manned solution and present a modern, flexible alternative. Refreshments including fresh bean coffee and fresh food are available 24/7, with a tailored service that includes maintenance and replenishment.

Why Business Leaders Choose Vending Machines.

1. Improves employee productivity

A vending machine is a quick and high-quality method to stay refreshed at work. Such a convenient solution encourages staff to stay on site for their break, as opposed to heading away from the premises and risk heading over their allocated time.

More time on the premises means more time staying productive.

Moreover, vending machines can dispense fresh bean coffee, fresh food and more in less than one minute. They’re simple to use and completely self-service, so employees can grab what they need and head back to work quicker.

2. Cost-effective

A vending machine is an incredibly cost-effective refreshment solution with minimal overheads, especially when compared to alternative options such as a managed canteen.

The self-service functionality of vending means you don’t need to add anyone to the payroll to assume responsibility. This is a vital differentiator. Meanwhile, for smaller businesses, a vending machine or coffee machine is proven more efficient than regularly boiling the kettle for a hot drinks break.

When you choose a vending machine from Coinadrink, you can either purchase your equipment or opt for a more affordable rental plan on an agreement to suit your budget.

3. Maximises employee wellbeing.

Employees require more than just an attractive salary to keep them satisfied at work. A vending machine represents a valuable employee perk that can maximise wellbeing, because staff can grab a fresh coffee or a bite to eat whenever best suits them.

According to Nespresso Professional, 75% of office employees agree that having high quality coffee available shows that their employer cares for their wellbeing. Want to hire the best talent? 66% of millennials said if they were offered a job at a company with snack facilities, they would take it.

A vending machine or even a larger Micro Market solution invites staff to take regular breaks, which is something that is now being encouraged by business leaders.

4. Enhances company culture.

When staff are satisfied at work through facilities that represent meaningful employee benefits, the overall culture of a company becomes a lot more positive. This is then likely to assist the retention and attraction of star talent, a must for business leaders.

A vending machine is far more than what it first seems. With the addition of vending housing such as branded surrounds, you can turn a solitary vending machine into a grand destination to enhance workplace canteens and entice usage.

5. A hygienic solution.

It’s natural for employees to be more concerned about hygiene in the wake of Covid-19. The minimal shared touch points involved with a vending machine means it is more hygienic than making your own hot drinks with a kettle or inviting catering companies onto site.

Coinadrink’s bespoke hygiene procedures only add to the benefits. As part of our operated service, we remove key contact parts of your hot drinks machine to deeply sanitise them back at our base, not before replacing them with already sterilised, like-for-like parts.

For busy industries like manufacturing when you have numerous people heading on and off the premises, a vending machine delivers the peace of mind you need.

How to get a vending machine for your canteen.

So, you’ve decided that a vending machine is the best option for your canteen? Great! Now let’s explore the best way to experience this solution yourself.

There are generally two ways to enjoy a vending machine in your workplace canteen.

Option 1: DIY

Of course, you can manage your vending machine solution by yourself. This would involve purchasing your equipment and assuming complete responsibility.

The problem is, whilst this may seem initially convenient, it is important not to underestimate the maintenance involved with managing your machine. For example, it would be you who would need to replenish the machine when required, and it would be you who is responsible for general maintenance and service.

Sure, you will be covered by the standard one-year warranty on new equipment, but you will still need to go through the hassle of contacting the original manufacturer for a solution.

This isn’t so much of a “service”. And undoubtedly removes a lot of the benefits of having a vending machine for your canteen.

Option 2: Let Coinadrink manage it for you.
