Top 5 Sandwiches for Los Angeles Break Rooms and Why We Love Them

Sandwiches are easily one of the most perfect foods. They can be a satisfying snack. Or, they can be a part of a healthy meal. August was National Sandwich Month, so we thought it would be an excellent time to share our favorite sandwiches. Grab your favorite sandwich and learn about the variety of sandwiches we can bring to your Los Angeles break room.

5 Sandwiches to Include in Your Los Angeles Break room

With today’s modern break room services, there are many ways to offer tasty, fresh sandwiches. Add hundreds of products to your break room with a Los Angeles micro-market. Like a mini store, a micro-market has glass-front coolers and open shelves. That means plenty of space for sandwiches! Or, if you have a smaller break room, try our Los Angeles vending machines. Either way, your team can enjoy some fantastic sandwiches. Here are just a few sandwiches you can try:

1. Classic Turkey & Swiss

Piled high with turkey slices and creamy Swiss cheese, this sandwich brings the perfect balance of flavors and textures. Don’t forget the layer of crispy lettuce. Plus, tangy, creamy mayo or mustard completes the package.

This sandwich takes your Downey employees back to simpler times. It’s reliable and satisfying. Remember, when your employees have a relaxing break, they return to work refreshed and motivated. In other words, offering quality food like turkey and Swiss sandwiches can help boost employee satisfaction.

2. The Veggie Sandwich

It’s important to meet a variety of dietary requirements in your Downey break room. So, make sure you offer something special for your veggie-loving employees. The veggie-packed sandwich is stacked with vibrant layers of crunchy cucumbers, juicy tomatoes, and leafy greens. Filled with an array of colorful veggies, it’s fresh and healthy! Top it off with a zesty dressing, and you’ve got a great lunch option.

This sandwich offers a bold option to get employees through the day. Layers of salami, spicy pepperoni, ham, provolone cheese, and Italian dressing make this a flavorful choice. The Italian sub is a hearty option for the workday. Employees will love seeing this sandwich in their San Fernando micro-market.

4. The Grilled Cheese Sandwich

Let’s take a moment to appreciate the simple grilled cheese sandwich. Picture it. Gooey, melted cheese is sandwiched between perfectly toasted bread. Pair it with a cup of tomato soup, and you’ve got a dynamic duo that never fails to hit the spot. Your employees can regularly enjoy this and similar meals when you set up a Los Angeles office pantry.

Los Angeles Micro-Markets | Comfort Foods | Pizza | Grilled Cheese | Mac & Cheese | Spaghetti | Refreshment Solutions

Best comfort foods in our Los Angeles micro-markets

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

Los Angeles Micro-Markets | Comfort Foods | Pizza | Grilled Cheese | Mac & Cheese | Spaghetti | Refreshment Solutions

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.

Los Angeles Micro-Markets | Vending | New products | 2022 Goals | Los Angeles Office Pantry

Reaching for our goals in 2022

We can agree that 2021 was a busy year with ups and downs for Los Angeles businesses. But, there was so much to be thankful for, which we shared in our end of November blog. With this year coming to an end and the arrival of 2022, we wanted to share some of the goals that we’ve set for ourselves. We’re big believers in setting our goals and intention for the coming year. After all, it helps us remain focused on what we want to achieve.

Grow our micro-markets 2022

Los Angeles Micro-Markets | Vending | New products | 2022 Goals | Los Angeles Office Pantry

One of our biggest goals in 2022 is to grow our micro-markets. First, we want to increase the number of Los Angeles micro-markets we open next year compared to the number we opened in 2021. We believe more businesses are open to the idea of creating a self-sustained cafe in the break room. More importantly, employees can stay in the office for lunch or snack breaks thereby increasing overall office productivity. Second, we want to optimize the product mix in every market. Our goal is to find the “perfect” mix of products and show our Los Angeles customers that the micro-market is a great option to get fresh food, snacks, and beverages. Ideally, our customers will enjoy the convenience of accessing refreshments in the break room and saving money by avoiding pricey restaurants.

Roll out new products

We are thrilled to bring our customers the latest new products in our micro-markets, Los Angeles vending services,  and pantry service. In addition, we will look at introducing more healthy options. Our team constantly gets feedback from customers on new products they’d like to try. Adding new products such as Tastykake and Ghirardelli Chocolates keep our customers coming back for more. In short, we are laser-focused on getting new products to customers quickly. We are committed to improving the product rollout process so that customers get new products in a matter of a few weeks rather than months.

Office pantry sets you apart

We want to help businesses make their employees feel welcome and comfortable in the office in 2022. Therefore, we’re recommending that businesses consider a Los Angeles office pantry service.  It allows you to offer employees convenient free grab-and-go refreshments in the office. And, it will help Los Angeles employees stay fueled and energized during the workday. It’s tough to find good talent at this time. However, an office pantry service is a great perk to enhance your recruiting and retention plans, and stand out from your competitors.

Upgrade our fleet of trucks in 2022

Premier VendGroup is always investing in technology. In fact, we upgraded our credit card readers to 4G earlier this year. In 2022, we will upgrade our fleet of trucks to 100% electric. We look forward to the cost savings of not having to add fuel to our trucks. More importantly, we’re excited about having a positive impact on the environment. Stay tuned as we’ll have more information in the coming year about this announcement.

We eagerly look forward to 2022 and all that it has to bring. We wish you and your family and community a healthy, happy, and safe new year.

Los Angeles Micro-Market | Los Angeles Vending | Healthy Refreshments | Office Coffee Service

A micro-market upgrade is an ideal solution for Los Angeles area client

Recently a client in Southern California asked us to upgrade their traditional vending service to a Los Angeles micro-market. The client moved to a larger facility and wanted only vending services at first. However, they started to realize that it was hard to satisfy 400 employees with just snack and drink vending machines. In other words, they had outgrown the vending service and needed an upgrade. Therefore, they settled for a full micro-market solution. In short, with the current employee retention challenges, we agreed that a micro-market upgrade would benefit this client.

What is a Los Angeles micro-market?

Since some of you may not be familiar with a mico-market, here’s a brief overview. A micro-market is an unattended retail space. It is filled with a variety of foods, snacks, and drinks that can be customized for your workplace. Furthermore, we can include plenty of healthy choices as that has become popular among Los Angeles area offices. Employees can buy food, drinks, and snacks at a self-serve kiosk with credit cards, mobile wallets, or cash. Most importantly, it is open all day for your convenience. Our team monitors the micro-market to make sure that popular products are in stock. In addition, we also introduce trendy new items from time to time to keep the product mix interesting.

Benefits of a micro-market upgrade

Los Angeles Micro-Market | Los Angeles Vending | Healthy Refreshments | Office Coffee Service

 

Our Los Angeles client will find many benefits by upgrading from traditional vending to a micro-market space. Here are a few.

  • The micro-market can offer more refreshments to a large number of employees.
  • Employees will enjoy a variety of products.
  • Employees can stay on-site to enjoy entree-sized meals for breakfast and lunch.
  • The employer can credit employees’ micro-market accounts as part of their incentive programs.

Take the micro-market upgrade a step further with office coffee service

If you’re looking to stand apart from employers in your area then you may want to consider adding a Los Angeles office coffee service. It’s an ideal solution to pair with your micro-market. Employees can enjoy premium coffee throughout the day. We offer traditional ground, single-cup, and bean-to-cup solutions with brand-name coffee products for everyone in the workplace to enjoy. Adding office coffee service to a micro-market can help strengthen your company’s retention and recruiting efforts. After all, it shows employees that they are valued and appreciated.

A customer-first approach

Premier VendGroup is ready to work with your team to help you find the refreshment services that make sense for your Greater Los Angeles business. Our approach is to first listen and learn and then craft a solution that works for you. As a 60+ year family-owned business, we have always put our customers first. It’s the only way we know how to run the business.

5 healthy beverages for your Los Angeles office

We’re all looking to improve our health and what we put in our bodies. In fact, more Los Angeles companies are requesting healthy options in the workplace. In addition to healthy food options, they are also requesting healthy beverage choices. Therefore, we’re dedicating this blog post to sharing our top 5 healthy beverages to keep you fueled throughout the workday.

Water

It may seem old-fashioned to some but drinking water is important to your overall health. Water carries nutrients and oxygen to your cells, flushes bacteria from your bladder, aids digestion, normalizes blood pressure, and much more. According to experts, most people should drink about four to six cups of water each day. However, water intake is different for each person. Therefore, you should check with your doctor to make sure you are drinking enough water. Premier VendGroup offers Los Angeles businesses custom water filtration services to provide your office with pure, clean drinking water through our plumbed-in, floor, and countertop units.

Green Tea

While there are a number of healthy teas, we’re going to focus on green tea. It has many health benefits. It boosts brain function, aids in fat loss, and lowers the risk of heart disease. Plus, it’s an ideal soothing drink when you’re having a rough day and need some downtime to relax. We offer green (and other teas) through our Los Angeles office coffee and tea service.

Coffee

Healthy Beverages | Los Angeles Micro-Markets | Los Angeles Office Pantry | Refreshment Solutions

Drinking coffee in moderation can be healthy. Visit almost anywhere in the world, and coffee and tea are two of the most served beverages. Drinking coffee can lower the risk of type 2 diabetes and certain neurological diseases, protect again depression, and more. Moreover, who doesn’t love the smell of a fresh cup of coffee in the morning?  Premier VendGroup offers a Los Angeles office coffee service whether you’re looking for traditional ground, single-cup, or bean to cup brewers. Our team will work with you to customize our coffee service to meet your needs.

Blended Juice

For those who find it difficult to eat enough vegetables or fruits throughout the day, consider drinking blended juice for additional nutrients. Blended juice incorporates the whole fruit and vegetable including the skin and fiber. The texture is thicker, almost like a smoothie, and you’re getting the full benefits of that fruit or vegetable. Check out our Los Angeles office pantry and micro-market services for juice options we can bring to your office.

Milk

As old-fashioned as it seems, milk is filled with essential nutrients that benefit health including calcium, protein, potassium, and more.  Drinking milk helps build strong bones, repairs muscle, and maintains the immune system. So go ahead, visit your Los Angeles micro-market and grab a cold bottle of milk to add to your cereal or enjoy it as is.

Supporting your goals

To sum up, more businesses are focusing on employee health. They understand that healthier employees are happier, more productive, and take fewer sick days. Premier VendGroup is committed to supporting Los Angeles businesses by providing healthy beverages in the break room.

Optimizing our Los Angeles micro-markets

At Premier VendGroup, we’re always exploring new ideas to enhance our refreshments services. That’s why we recently welcomed Colin to the team. His job is to use data to improve our micro-market products and sales in Los Angeles and Southern California.  Ideally, these improvements will offer our customers a better experience. And, we’ll have less waste and fewer expired products at each micro-market. By using data, we will improve the customers’ experience at our micro-markets.

What are micro-markets?

Micro-markets are unmanned retail spaces where customers can buy a variety of foods, drinks, and snacks. Our team installs the micro-market at the client’s workplace in the break room.  We also install cameras for security purposes. Customers purchase products at a self-checkout kiosk using credit cards, mobile wallets, or cash. Micro-markets are open 24/7. This makes them convenient for customers no matter how early or late they work. The business benefits because employees can eat meals and snacks on-site. And, this can lead to increased productivity. Employees can save money because they don’t have to leave work to buy refreshments. Micro-markets are a big and important part of our business. Therefore, we must improve them for our customers.

3 ideas to optimize Los Angeles micro-markets

Micro-Markets | Los Angeles Micro-Markets | Refreshment Solutions

It’s important that we test and try different ideas to enhance our micro-markets.  Here are three we can implement now.

  • Review products that are not selling and replace them with a different product in the same category. For instance, if regular milk is not selling, we may replace it with another nut-based milk.
  • Colin will build relationships with the Premier VendGroup route drivers to get their feedback. After all, they interact with customers every week. They know which products customers are excited about and buy. The route drivers get this feedback while stocking the micro-market.
  • Colin will keep his ‘finger on the pulse’ and test products that the general public is excited about.

Data-driven decisions for Los Angeles micro-markets

In addition, we will also look at demographics to further optimize our product mix. For example, we looked at some data and found a few interesting insights. We noticed that businesses with Millenials and Generation Z employees want energy drinks in their micro-markets. However, businesses with Generation X employees want tea, enhanced water, or naked juices. For this second group, we may offer tea through our Los Angeles office coffee services.  In the future, we will look at more of this type of data to customize each micro-market to that particular group of customers.

To keep the micro-markets exciting for our customers, we’re also looking to introduce new products. In fact, we often add new items to our Los Angeles vending and other services. Our inspirations come from many places. We look at products that are “trendy” or popular at the moment. We will also look at local and healthy products to add to the mix since we serve Los Angeles and Southern California.

Benefits of a tailored approach

A tailored approach to each of our micro-markets has many benefits.

  • We provide a better experience for customers because we’ll offer the products they want.
  • We decrease the number of expired products in the market. No one likes to see expired food when they are shopping.
  • Ideally, we will increase sales and revenue for our company.

Enhance the customer experience

To sum up, our goal is to provide customers with the best mix of foods, snacks, and drinks in the micro-market.  We know that we can increase the levels of engagement in the micro-markets if we optimize our product mix. At end of the day, it’s all about providing the best customer experience.
