Single-cup and bean-to-cup coffee service for Los Angeles offices

May 27, 2022May 26, 2022 by Katie Waxman

There’s nothing better than that first cup of coffee in the morning. A great cup of coffee can help you start your day off right. Moreover, it can help you beat the afternoon slump and keep you energized throughout the day. That’s why every business needs a great Los Angeles office coffee service. After all, no one wants to be the one stuck taking the coffee orders. Let’s look at a couple of coffee solutions that may work for your Los Angeles office.

Single-cup coffee service

Clients love single-cup coffee service for many reasons. For example, you customize your coffee size and strength. Single-cup coffee service also allows you to create unique blends. The coffee machines are intuitive and easy to use. Program your coffee settings using an interactive touchscreen and get coffee in minutes. Unlike with traditional coffee service, you won’t have to make a pot of coffee for your entire Los Angeles office. Just make what you need for yourself. There’s no mess to clean up afterward. We offer top brands of coffee brewers including Flavia, Newco CX, Keurig, and Nespresso.

Bean-to-cup coffee service

Many offices favor bean to cup service because they know they will enjoy the freshest cup of coffee. Bean-to-cup brewers preserve the freshness of the coffee because they grind whole beans giving an aromatic cup of coffee. Furthermore, you can enjoy drinking it because it’s environmentally friendly. No coffee packets to throw out. Best of all, you save money because you won’t need to run down to the local coffee shop. Believe us, that can add up! Premier VendGroup offers tech-forward coffee machines from well-known brands like Cafection, the Bravilor Bonamat, and the Starbucks Serenade. The bean-to-cup brewers will make you feel like you have a barista in your break room.

Jam packed with technology

Much like our Los Angeles vending machines, the technology in coffee brewers has come a long way. Los Angeles coffee addicts can now use the touchscreen on the machine or their mobile phone to set their preferences. And, within minutes, the brewer produces a cup of fresh, piping hot coffee.

All the coffee supplies you need

Not only does Premier VendGroup set up the machine, but we will also set up a coffee station within your Los Angeles break room. We’ll stock it with creamers, sugar, stir sticks, cups, and anything else you may need for that perfect cup of coffee.

In short, if you’re ready to indulge in the aroma and flavor of a great-tasting cup of coffee, contact Premier VendGroup at 562-928-1301 or service@premiervendgroup.com for more information about our office coffee service.

Dark chocolate is nutritious

Eating dark chocolate can lower the risk of heart disease. In fact, some observational studies showed that eating it lowered the risk of heart disease and improved LDL cholesterol levels. Grab a healthy lunch in your Los Angeles micro-market and make it a little more special with a couple of squares of dark chocolate.

Dark chocolate is filled with antioxidants

Antioxidants are plentiful in this tasty sweet! In fact, it has more antioxidants than some fruits and other foods. And why do we care? Because antioxidants protect us from premature aging and heart disease, as well as improve our mental and brain health. Head over to your Los Angeles vending machine and grab this decadent treat for your late afternoon break.

Get the blood flowing

Some studies have shown that dark chocolate can improve blood flow in the arteries. And, we know that proper blood circulation allows every organ in the body to function at its best. Give yourself an energy boost with a small amount of this delicious snack and a cup of premium coffee through our Los Angeles office coffee service.

Improve brain function

Dark chocolate can increase the blood flow to the brain and contains stimulants like caffeine thereby improving cognitive function. This is a perfect excuse to eat it. After all, you’re just boosting your brainpower.

Snack smarter

To sum up, dark chocolate provides powerful health benefits. If you’re on the lookout for healthy snacks in your Los Angeles break room, consider adding this toothsome dessert to the mix. Of course, please eat it in moderation. It’s the ideal sweet treat and you don’t have to compromise on health.

Best comfort foods in our Los Angeles micro-markets

April 28, 2022 by Katie Waxman

Comfort foods make us feel nostalgic, often conjuring up past experiences or memories of a happier time. Whether it’s sitting at the kitchen counter indulging in Grandma’s cake or soothing yourself from a bad day with mac & cheese, comfort foods put us in a safe and happy space. So, we thought we’d share some of our favorite comfort foods that millions of people enjoy for lunch, every day. After all, there’s nothing wrong with occasionally indulging in your favorite comfort foods. Here’s our shortlist of comfort foods available in our Los Angeles micro-markets that will make you forget your troubles.

Pizza

If there weren’t so many delicious foods on this list, we’d declare pizza the winner and call it a day. In fact, according to a 2016 Harris Poll, 15% of Americans declared pizza as their favorite comfort food, nearly double that of any other food choice. It’s warm, delicious, and can be custom-made to your taste. Moreover, the smell alone can make your mouth water. Pizza is best paired with beverages like cold ice tea or soda to satisfy your cravings.

Mac & cheese

For some, eating mac & cheese makes them feel like a kid again. In fact, this dish is so delicious that adults now enjoy fancier versions of mac & cheese. It’s versatile because it can be served as a snack or a main dish. For adults, you can get creative by adding bacon, caramelized onions, and prosciutto. Even though National Mac and Cheese Day is in July, we think you can get a head start and indulge in this delicious golden-baked comfort food today.

Grilled cheese sandwich is the ultimate in comfort foods

Any time you put bread and cheese together, you will have a winning combination on your hands. It’s one of the most popular comfort food and easy to make whether you’re a great cook or a novice. And you don’t have to feel guilty eating it because it contains fiber and protein to help keep your body strong and bones healthy. The grilled cheese sandwich is one you can take from childhood to adulthood, and most people do.

Spaghetti with meat sauce

Can you think of a more filling meal? Seriously, no one ever eats spaghetti and leaves feeling hungry. It can be eaten cold and warm. Furthermore, you can make it “fancy” by adding fresh garlic, hot pepper flakes, cheese, extra virgin olive oil, and more. You’ll know you’ve had a filling lunch in your Los Angeles office break room after a hearty bowl of spaghetti with meat sauce.

Comfort foods soothe the soul

In short, comfort foods have the power to soothe us, make us feel nostalgic, and activate the pleasure part of our brains when we eat them. Take a moment to enjoy your favorite comfort foods at our Los Angeles micro-markets.

Healthy vending options for Los Angeles offices

March 15, 2022 by Katie Waxman

As Los Angeles employees continue to come back to the office, more employers have been asking us about stocking healthy vending refreshments in the break room. They are especially interested in snacks and beverages that are low in sugar, fat, and calories. After all, employees love snacking so why not give them healthier options to choose from? We’re sharing some of our favorite snacks and beverages that are healthy for employees.

Enjoy the snack break with these healthy vending options

Granola bars

Choose a bar that has fiber, whole grains, healthy fats, and minimal processing. And, look for one that is heavy on protein and you’ve got yourself a satisfying snack that will boost your energy and get you through the day.

Dark chocolate

How wonderful that you can enjoy dark chocolate without feeling guilty. Bonus points if you have a bar of dark chocolate which includes almonds. Dark chocolate is full of antioxidants and almonds are a rich source of healthy fats. Combined together, you’ve got a delicious heart-healthy snack. If you’re really looking to treat yourself at the office, pair the dark chocolate with a rich cup of java through our Los Angeles office coffee service.

Mixed Nuts

Crunchy, filling, and nutritious. Nuts are a great source of fiber, healthy fats, and plant protein. Plus, you can add nuts to fresh foods such as salads, yogurts, and more for light and healthy meals.

Fruit

Healthy snacks don’t have to be complicated. With our Los Angeles food vending machines, you can enjoy a simple cup of fruit. It contains fiber and minerals and makes for a satisfying snack any time of the day.

Healthy vending must-have beverages

Water

Is there a more perfect drink for hydrating than water? It’s absolutely necessary for the body because it removes toxins, and helps the body function at an optimal level.

Add Kombucha to your healthy vending machine

This fizzy drink has become more popular over the years. Kombucha is packed with probiotics that promote healthy bacteria in the gut. The bacteria aid in digestion and help the body absorb vitamins and minerals. It’s an ideal drink if you’re craving more than water. And, you can pair it with a salad from your Los Angeles micro-market for a flavorful and healthy meal.

Orange Juice

Orange juice is a naturally sweet and healthy drink that you can enjoy. You already know it has vitamin C, but do you also know it contains potassium, and thiamin plus calcium? If you need a little boost in the office, a small cup of orange juice will keep you refreshed.

Water filtration solutions for Los Angeles offices

February 28, 2022 by Katie Waxman

Water. It’s the most perfect thirst-quenching beverage on earth. In fact, we could not live without it. According to The U.S. National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine, men should drink about 15 cups of fluids a day and women should drink about 11 cups of fluids a day. The fluids can be from water, other beverages, and food. While about 20% of daily fluid intake comes from food, the majority comes from beverages. In other words, drinking water is very important and we agree. That’s why we offer Los Angeles water filtration services to meet the needs of Southern California businesses.

Technology | Los Angeles Break Rooms | Los Angeles Vending | Micro-Markets | Office Coffee service |

Technology plays a vital role in our refreshment solutions

February 15, 2022 by Katie Waxman

Tomorrow is innovation day. That got us thinking about the important role that technology has played in innovating the vending industry. At Premier VendGroup, we strive to use the latest technology to deliver the best customer experience. In fact, using the latest technology in our services helps us attract new clients in the Greater Los Angeles area.

Vending at its best

Vending machines have come a long way since we started our business in 1955. Today, our Los Angeles vending machines have sophisticated built-in technology. It allows us to remotely monitor our product inventory. In other words, we know which products are selling and which are not. With real-time reporting, our team knows when to refill the vending machines with foods, snacks, or beverages. Moreover, our clients don’t have to tell us if the vending machine is empty or running low on products. Thanks to accurate reporting, we already know. In short, technology makes our job much easier. It also helps our clients focus on what they do best.

Go beyond traditional vending

If your Los Angeles office is looking for a solution beyond traditional vending, we offer the PicoCooler by 365 Retail Markets. It can hold a variety of fresh foods, snacks, and beverages. This cooler takes vending technology to the next level. The PicoCooler has built-in automatic locking and camera features that give the customer a secure experience. These features mean that the cooler can be placed at an unmanned location. Customers can pay for products with credit cards or mobile wallets using the intuitive touchscreen. Given all of the benefits, we feel that more clients in the coming years will want the PicoCooler in their Los Angeles break rooms.

Technology in the micro-market

If you think our vending technology is great, wait until you see our Los Angeles micro-markets. It’s a cafe in the break room filled with fresh foods, snacks, and beverages. The technology in the micro-market will help you understand why it’s such a popular solution with Southern California businesses. We install cameras throughout the micro-market to give customers a secure experience. Furthermore, customers can purchase products using the self-serve kiosk. It accepts credit card and mobile wallet payments. No need to have cash with you. Finally, we monitor product inventory remotely so we know which products to restock and when. The biggest benefit to the company is that employees can stay on-site for meals and breaks since it’s open 24/7.

Contactless technology in office coffee

Since the Covid-19 pandemic started, more of our clients were looking for contactless solutions in the break room. They were mainly concerned about high traffic areas such as the coffee station. We responded quickly by offering contactless coffee brewers through our Los Angeles office coffee service. Customers can use an app on their mobile phones to make a delicious cup of coffee without touching the brewer.

As you can see, using the latest technology is important to our business. It helps us set ourselves apart from competitors. This year, we’re excited to explore and introduce new technology to give our customers the best experience with all of our refreshment services.

PicoCooler is a game-changer for Los Angeles offices

January 27, 2022 by Katie Waxman

The vending industry is constantly changing and innovating. New innovations keep our company on its toes. As a result, we’re always reviewing the services and technology that we offer our Los Angeles clients. Above all, we aim to provide clients with a superior refreshments experience. That’s why we are excited to bring the PicoCooler by 365 Retail Markets to our clients. For some, it represents the next generation of vending.

Go beyond traditional vending with the PicoCooler

Many of our clients are excited to upgrade their traditional vending with the PicoCooler. Its sleek and modern design is sure to enhance any Los Angeles break room. Moreover, it has less bulk and therefore takes up less space in the office. In fact, it comes with lots of cool features that make for a better vending experience.

The PicoCooler offers secure access with an automatic locking feature and a camera.
Customers have access to a variety of refreshments including fresh foods and beverages. Stay on-site for a refreshing drink or a healthy meal!
Purchasing products is easy using credit cards and mobile wallets. There’s no need to have cash on hand to enjoy refreshments. Talk about maximum convenience!
The intuitive touchscreen makes it easy to purchase products and check out quickly and easily so you can go about your day.

The benefits of PicoCooler to your Los Angeles workplace

Upgrading to the PicoCooler can be beneficial for your Los Angeles office. For example, you can replace outdated and bulky food and beverage vending machines with the PicoCooler. Once it is installed, we’ll stock it with fresh salads, sandwiches, yogurt granola snacks, and beverages all in one unit.

It’s a space saver. For instance, let’s say your Los Angeles office has separate vending machines for foods, snacks, and beverages. You can save space by stocking snacks on wall-mounted racks and shelves next to the PicoCooler. As a result, you’ll have access to fresh food and beverages in the cooler with snacks next to the cooler in their own dedicated space. In other words, PicoCooler can be an ideal solution for workplaces with smaller break rooms.

If we see that a product isn’t selling, we can quickly change it with something your office does want. Our goal is to customize the refreshments to meet your needs.

You won’t need to leave your Los Angeles office to get a delicious and filling lunch. You may even be able to save money over time by staying on-site for your lunch breaks.

The PicoCooler is ideal for high-traffic areas such as airports, hospitals, and car dealerships. In fact, it can be placed at almost any unmanned location due to its secure access feature so both employees and customers can enjoy refreshments at any time.

Bringing next-gen vending to more clients in 2022

In short, Premier VendGroup is excited to introduce the PicoCooler for those Los Angeles workplaces who want more from their refreshment services. As we mentioned in our December blog post, we’re always looking to enhance our refreshment services and embrace new technology to give our clients the best the vending industry has to offer.

Types of teas for Los Angeles offices

January 13, 2022 by Katie Waxman

We’re celebrating National Hot Tea Month in January. Who doesn’t love a cup of tea to start or wind down their day? We thought it’d be fun to explore the different types of teas in this blog post. After all, other than coffee, tea is one of the most consumed beverages in the world.

Types of teas

Green Tea

Green tea is prepared from fresh or withered, lightly heated, or steamed leaves. The preparation method makes the tea more light, fresh, and slightly grassy. Different green teas have slightly different flavors which can range from nutty, to fruity and even almost seaweed-like. One of the biggest benefits of green tea is that it supports heart and brain health and helps with mental alertness thanks to the caffeine content. No matter what beverage you enjoy in the morning, adding green tea to your routine can be beneficial.

Black tea

Black tea is often sold in a blend, which determines its flavor profile. The season and place where the tea plant is grown impact the flavor of the tea. It is also one of the most common types of tea in the United States. There are many types of black tea including, Ceylon, Earl Grey, English Breakfast, and so on. Black tea is heart-healthy and supports the body’s protection against oxidative stress. For those who prefer a strong bold flavor while indulging in a snack, black tea may be for you.

Oolong tea

Oolong tea is also known as “black dragon” tea. It’s semi-oxidized and is always produced as a whole-leaf tea. The level of oxidation can affect the color, flavor, and aroma. There are many benefits to Oolong tea including antioxidant compounds which support the body’s protective measures against free radicals and oxidative stress.

White tea

New buds and young create delicious White tea. It is often light, delicate with a fruity flavor, and lower in caffeine than other teas. This tea supports the body’s response to inflammation among many other benefits. It can also support dental health because it contains fluoride, catechins, and tannins. Finally, it may support brain health. This is a perfect tea if you’re looking for something light in the afternoon. Visit your Los Angeles office pantry for some grab-and-go refreshments during a busy day and take a moment to indulge in White tea.

Herbal teas are some of the best types of teas for your health

Beloved among tea drinkers are herbal teas such as Chamomile, Ginger, Hibiscus, and Mint. These herbal teas support calm, and perhaps healthier sleep habits, aid digestion, help with inflammation, manage cholesterol, and boost liver health. They are restorative in nature and ideal to enjoy late in the day.

Types of teas you can drink throughout the day

Now that you see all the benefits of the different types of teas, go enjoy some. Start your day with a healthy breakfast with green tea for a caffeine boost. During lunchtime, enjoy a hearty meal in your Los Angeles micro-market and try a light, delicate white tea for an afternoon pick-me-up. Finally, switch to an herbal tea to help wind down your day. Premier VendGroup can offer your Los Angeles workplace traditional and gourmet teas through our office coffee and tea service. After all, we want you to be able to enjoy tea year-round!
