Snickers
You know how the classic slogan goes, “You’re not yourself when you’re hungry.” And a Snickers is the perfect treat to satisfy employees. Nougat, caramel, and peanuts come together in a creamy milk chocolate casing, making for a mouth-watering treat.

Kit Kat
The only thing that can make your afternoon tea better is enjoying it with a Kit Kat. Just like the brand’s jingle, employees will say, “Gimme a break, break me off a piece of that Kit Kat bar.” And can you blame them? The candy is made with crisp wafers layered with smooth milk chocolate. Yum.

Fruity Favorite Candy Brands

Employees more partial to fruity and tangy flavors will appreciate a variety of candy options in your Los Angeles vending service. While chocolate is a deliciously sweet treat, fruity flavors are equally as satisfying. Here are some of the most beloved fruity candy brands for your break room:

Skittles
Taste the rainbow in the office break room! Adding skittles to your snack vending machines is sure to satisfy employees. The colorful little treats are the instant sugar rush employees crave in the afternoon.

Starbursts
Who doesn’t love Starbursts? It’s another bite-size option that’s perfect for the break room or at your desk. The tangy and tropical flavors provide something unique. These vibrant treats are especially delicious during spring and summer.

Sour Patch Kids
First they’re sour, then they’re sweet…just like hungry employees! Help your hardworking team kick their sugar cravings by including small packs of Sour Patch Kids in your vending machines. Not only are they tasty, but these fan-favorite treats will give employees all the nostalgia.

PicoCooler is a game-changer for Los Angeles offices

by

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

365 Markets PicoCooler | Los Angeles Vending | Food Vending | Beverages Vending | Vending Technology | Refreshment Solutions

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.

Contact Premier VendGroup at 562-928-1301 or service@premiervendgroup.com  for information about our office coffee, micro-market, office pantry, or vending services. We look forward to working with you!

5 healthy beverages for your Los Angeles office

by

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.

Celebrate Better Breakfast Month in your Los Angeles office

by

September is #BetterBreakFastMonth and we’re here for it. That’s why we’ve dedicated this blog to the importance of breakfast. After all, it is the most important meal of the day. In fact, eating breakfast can help your heart, digestion, bones, and more. Furthermore, it helps boost your energy levels and keep your metabolism up for the day. People enjoy different foods for breakfast and it is so versatile that you can eat it for lunch or dinner and some people do!

An “eggtastic” breakfast

Eggs are one of the most popular breakfast foods and can be prepared in many ways. Whether you like them scrambled, hard-boiled, or sunny side up, they are delicious and nutritious. You can enjoy eggs in our Los Angeles micro-market in a breakfast burrito or sandwich to get a protein kick to keep you full and satisfied throughout the morning. In the near future, we are looking to expand our breakfast offerings including more egg options.

You don’t need to be Greek to enjoy yogurt

If you’re looking for lighter fare, why not try a yogurt and granola breakfast? It’s high in protein, calcium, vitamins, and probiotics, and great for gut microbiota.  Through our office pantry service, you can enjoy the health benefits that come with a yogurt and granola breakfast. However, if don’t want granola, then try our cereals with fresh milk. Your employees can enjoy convenient grab-and-go options like cereal, parfait, oatmeal, and granola through our Los Angeles office pantry service. Most importantly, it’s a great way to show busy employees that they are valued and appreciated in the office.

Fruit is a great option

For those looking for lighter fare in the morning, fruit is a refreshing way to start your day.  Eating fruits has many benefits. They are a source of essential vitamins and minerals and are high in fiber. Fruits provide many health benefits and can reduce a person’s risk of developing heart disease, inflammation, and diabetes. Get your fill of fruits at the office through our Los Angeles food vending machines.

Breakfast has its benefits

Breakfast is such an essential part of the day. And, if you’re still not convinced, these reasons may help change your mind.

  • Give your body plenty of essential nutrients.
  • Boost brainpower and improve concentration.
  • Prevent weight gain and avoid higher-calorie foods later in the day.
  • Eggs are packed with protein, vitamins, and antioxidants which help you maintain healthy skin.
  • Increase your energy and avoid a mid-morning slump.

Is it even a complete breakfast without a hot beverage?

In our humble opinion, a delicious breakfast should include a soothing hot beverage. Indulge in your breakfast with a gourmet cup of coffee or tea with our Los Angeles office coffee and tea service. We customize our service to meet the needs of your Los Angeles office whether you’re looking for traditional,  single-cup, or bean-to-cup coffee brewers.

To sum up, at Premier VendGroup, we love breakfast!  Set aside time in the morning to enjoy it at the office and fuel up for your day.

Los Angeles Break Room | Micro-Market | Office Coffee Service | Office Pantry Service | Refreshment Solutions

Create a better break room in your Los Angeles office

by

Your Los Angeles break room is one of the most important spaces in your office.  It’s the place where employees can get away from their work, connect with others, or just relax and enjoy downtime. That’s why it’s important to create a functional and inviting space that works for employees. We’ve dedicated this blog with ideas to help you create your ideal break room.

Keep the break room separate

The break room and the office workspace should be as separate as possible. This will give employees the feeling that the spaces are truly separate and they can relax and focus on reenergizing rather than focusing on work-related issues. If you have a small office, try using room dividers or a wall of plants to create separate spaces. Furthermore, keep in mind that not everyone comes to the break room to socialize. Therefore, you may want to ensure there is a quiet space for employees to practice mindful meditation, read, or just relax.

Yes, the furniture in the break room matters

When designing your break room, make sure you include comfortable furniture. No one likes to sit on a hard plastic or wood chair in the office. Instead, you can furnish the space with a sofa, loveseats, or reclining chairs to create a relaxing environment. In addition to furniture, you may want to consider personalizing the space with company branding, as well as photos.  Images from past employee appreciation events, BBQs, corporate retreats, and team lunches are perfect to include. Promoting a close-knit team environment can also bolster your talent retention and recruiting efforts. Finally, consider adding a TV to share company-related videos, major sporting events, or Netflix shows for employees to enjoy.

Refreshments are important in the break room

Los Angeles Break Room | Micro-Market | Office Coffee Service | Office Pantry Service | Refreshment Solutions

Food in the break room is essential. Otherwise, why even have a break room?  Whether employees are enjoying lunch, snacks, or beverages, great refreshments are important considering the amount of time they spend in the office. Let’s look at some refreshments solutions that go beyond Los Angeles vending machines, which may be right for your office.

Micro-Markets

Impress employees with the ultimate break room refreshment solution with a Los Angeles micro-market. It’s an open-air cafe that provides a wide range of fresh food entrees, tasty snacks, and refreshing beverages all customized to your needs. Employees will be able to purchase products at a self-checkout kiosk using credit cards, mobile wallets, or cash. Our team remotely monitors the micro-market to keep it stocked with your favorite products.

Office Coffee

Elevate the coffee break in your office with our Los Angeles office coffee service. We bring you popular national brands of coffee as well as gourmet options. Whether you’re looking for traditional or specialty coffee services, we can help. Premier VendGroup’s coffee brewers come with touchless technology so you can make coffee using your mobile phone.

Office Pantry

This employee perk allows the business to pay for the refreshments and provides them to employees free of charge. We bring grab-and-go refreshments all customized to your office’s needs, including healthy options. A Los Angeles office pantry service will show your employees that they are valued and appreciated. Make your business stand out from others with this unique employee perk.

Add activities & games

To add some fun into the break room, provide a space for games. They don’t have to be over the top. Ping pong table, board games, a foosball table can help your employees connect and create social bonds over fun recreation activities.

To sum up, employees spend 8+ hours a day in the office. Why not make it enjoyable for them by creating a break room space that will help them relax, refuel, and rejuvenate, and come back to work fresh.

For more information about adding office coffee, micro-market, pantry, or vending services to your Los Angeles break room, contact Premier VendGroup at 562-928-1301 or service@premiervendgroup.com. We look forward to working with you!

Los Angeles Employee Retention | Office Coffee Service | Vending Service | Micro-Market Service | Office Pantry Service

Make refreshments part of the employee retention strategy

by

Employee retention can be a challenge for many businesses.  In fact, employee turnover is often cited by workforce management as the biggest issue they face. It is costly for a business because it takes time, money, and resources to hire and train new employees. High turnover can also affect the performance of an organization.  Finally, as the availability of skilled employees decreases, it can become difficult to keep sought-after employees. For these reasons, it is important to focus on employee turnover.

Refreshments an important part of  the employee retention strategy for Los Angeles businesses

We’ve come up with a few ideas on how you can use refreshment services to reduce turnover and keep good employees.

A Cafe in the Break Room

Los Angeles Employee Retention | Office Coffee Service | Vending Service | Micro-Market Service | Office Pantry Service

Create a cafe in your break room and bring employees together for lunch. A micro-market solution can encourage employees to stay on-site for lunch and engage with other employees. One idea to increase employee engagement is to have the office choose two employees at random each month to have lunch with each other (the company pays for the lunches). It’s a great way to help employees get to know each other and it benefits the company in the long run. Finally, employees will feel more positive about the office environment because they save money in the long run by eating lunch in the break room.

Custom Coffee Services

The business could implement “coffee break Wednesdays” (or whatever day they choose). Employees can get away from their desks to relax, or catch up with others while enjoying delicious coffee or tea.  Through our office coffee service, we can provide custom coffee and tea solutions for your company. Our office coffee service is designed to support employee engagement opportunities one hot beverage at a time. After all, employees who feel a positive connection to the company and other employees are more likely to stay.

Delicious Grab-and-Go Refreshments

Give employees free refreshments! Through our office pantry service, you can show employees that they are valued and appreciated by the company. Employees will feel a positive vibe when they enjoy premium snacks and healthy options such as nuts and fruits in the office. Free refreshments in the office are one of the most cost-effective talent retention tools. This is why it is a popular perk for many top tech companies like Google, Facebook, Apple, and Microsoft.

Modern Vending

It’s a turn-off to employees to enter the break room and see outdated, rusted, cash-only vending machines with products they don’t want. It’s also inconvenient because they may have to leave the office to get refreshments. Our upgraded state-of-the-art vending machines are remotely monitored. Therefore, we know which products your office likes and when to restock them. Plus, our vending machines take credit cards so there is no need to carry cash.

Benefits of refreshments to employee retention for Los Angeles businesses

Refreshments can and should be part of your overall retention strategy. After all, there are many benefits to employee retention in your business.

  • Improve workplace culture
  • Boost morale
  • Increase productivity and revenue
  • Provide a better customer experience
  • Reduce the cost of hiring and training new employees
  • Employee-driven innovation

Refreshments are a tangible benefit for an employee retention plan

In conclusion, offering refreshments in the office should be a part of your retention strategy. It is one of the best tangible and visible benefits that employees will see. It can make employees feel that the company cares about them. This can lead to social bonding, collaboration, and innovation in your office.

5 healthy snacks for your Los Angeles break room

by

In 2020, Covid-19 sidelined many people when it came to their health. Even before the pandemic, too many companies offered unhealthy snacks as rewards, to celebrate milestones, or just for snacking. As we head back to the office, it will be nearly impossible for employees to avoid unhealthy snacks because they are so readily available.  However, now is the perfect opportunity to support their health goals by offering healthy snacks.

5 healthy snacks you can offer in your Los Angeles office 

We’ve come up with a list of five healthy snacks to satisfy those cravings but still keep your health goals on track.

Fruits

Think of the plethora of fruits you can enjoy. Whether they are dried or fresh, fruits are a great source of essential vitamins and minerals and high in fiber. For example, you can enjoy apples with or without almond butter (delish!), blueberries, bananas, oranges, and more. Fruit snacks are refreshing and can satisfy the sweet tooth but are better for you than candy.

Veggies

Make it a habit to snack on vegetables daily. They are low in calories, fat, sodium, and cholesterol. They also help protect you against certain diseases. In addition, consuming vegetables help your digestive system work more efficiently when they are a regular part of your diet.  You’ll relish the crunch of carrots, the slight spicy quality of broccoli, and the sweet mild flavor of juicy bell peppers.

Nuts & Seeds

Los Angeles Healthy Snacks | Healthy | Vending Machine | Office Pantry | Micro-Markets

Crack open the benefits of adding nuts and seeds to your diet to leverage heart-healthy substances such as unsaturated fats, omega-3 fatty acids, fiber, and more.  Lower your risk of diabetes, and heart and respiratory diseases. With anti-inflammatory properties, nuts and seeds help lower the risk of certain diseases because chronic inflammation is linked to many major diseases. Moderate amounts of nuts and seeds are a must-have for those practicing healthy eating. Besides, who doesn’t love a handful of crunchy almonds, protein-packed hemp seeds, or flavorful walnuts?

Granola

Often considered a healthy breakfast cereal, granola is a toasted mixture of oats, seeds, nuts, grains, puffed rice, spices, and nut butter.  By customizing your granola with fewer sweeteners, you can make it an ideal healthy snack to keep you energized in the office. Moreover, granola can improve blood pressure, reduce cholesterol, regulate blood sugar, and improve gut health.  Enjoy the perfection of this crunchy and satisfying snack whether you add it to almond milk, yogurt, or eat it as is.

Dark chocolate

Indulge in the chocolatey goodness of a snack that is good for you! Dark chocolate may prevent heart disease, improve cognition and blood sugar levels. Furthermore, dark chocolate can help with weight loss, improve cholesterol, and boost your mood! It may be sinfully delicious but it’s also packed with health-boosting benefits.

Benefits of healthy snacks to Los Angeles employees

To sum up, healthy snacks can have a tremendous impact on employee health.

  • Lower blood pressure
  • Reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke
  • Lower the risk of digestive problems
  • Positive effect on blood sugar
  • Keep appetite in check

And the business…

The benefits to your business will be noticeable. You will be able to attract and retain the best talent, increase productivity, and foster a sense of community.  Healthy snacks can improve the overall mood in the office and create a better workplace culture.
