The workplace is changing moving forward. It is a reality we can’t avoid. Social distancing at works means space, less contact with others, and a general heightened awareness for health, safety and office sanitation.
Businesses are investing in keeping their employees safe and a clean environment, so for snacks and meals having healthy options easy to grab and go onsite at work is critical.
But how can you create a fulfilling work environment with the amenities your employees have come to expect? And do so while maintaining recommending distancing and safety standards?
The time for cafeterias, salad bars and buffets is probably over, or at least on hold for now. The new norm may mean it’s time to consider an unattended retail solution for your workplace.
The New Normal for Changing Work Environments: Micro Markets
A solution like a fresh food micro market can offer the convenience of food service, without overhead costs associated with running an on-site cafeteria or always having your employees leaving the office to get a bite to eat. In fact, you can probably anticipate a reluctance to venturing out for lunch and typical options that your employees count on may be limited.
When looking at alternative options, micro markets offer more than a traditional vending setup can.
Fresh and Healthy Options
These markets include an array of fresh and healthy options including salads, sandwiches, frozen entrees, and really anything else that may be in demand for your employees. That could include snacks, drinks, or even pantry staples. Your micro market operator can be a trusted source of packaged, fresh foods to meet employee needs and keep them safe.
No-Contact Payment
Touch-less payment options mean contact with frequently touched surfaces can be limited or entirely eliminated. A shopper can pick their items, scan at the kiosk and pay without ever using the touchscreen.
