Offering break room refreshment options is a great way to meet employees’ needs. It can boost job satisfaction and help coworkers connect. But don’t just stock your Scottsdale break room with local drink and snack favorites. While people in different parts of the country have their go-to’s, offering a mix of options keeps things interesting.

Here are three tips to help improve your Scottsdale vending services to satisfy everyone’s cravings.

Battle of the Soft Drink Giants

The long-running Coke vs. Pepsi debate can teach you a lot about what your employees might want. In the south, many people prefer Coke. In northern states, Pepsi is often the favorite. This debate isn’t going away.

To keep everyone happy, offer both brands in your Scottsdale micro market. Employees might feel a bit of joy when they find their favorite drink, even if it’s not common in the area.

Sweet Iced Refreshment Debate

In some places, the battle between sweet and unsweet tea is serious. In the south, if you ask for iced tea, you’ll get it sweet. Up north, iced tea usually comes unsweetened, and you’ll need to add sugar if you want it sweet.

Some northerners think adding sugar to unsweet tea is the same as southern sweet tea. But southerners would disagree. The amount of sugar needed to match southern sweet tea can be surprising.

To keep everyone happy in your break room, offer both sweet and unsweet tea. Don’t forget to include sugar with your Scottsdale office coffee offerings. This way, everyone’s preferences are covered.

Iced tea is also great bottled in cold drink machines. They are a great way to add beverage choices for your staff.

Fame Isn’t Everything 

When you think of Chicago, deep-dish pizza might come to mind. But even though deep-dish is famous, not everyone in Chicago loves it. They certainly don’t eat it every day.

Even those who do enjoy deep-dish often like to have other options. Chicago teaches us that just because someone is from a certain place doesn’t mean they always want the local specialty.

No matter where your company is or where your employees are from, offering a variety of options in your Scottsdale food vending machine or micro market is important. People appreciate choices, and they’ll notice when you provide them.

How to Use Your Phoenix Break Room to Boost Employee Mental Health

Mental health and well-being are important in your Phoenix workplace. By boosting your team’s health, you can improve company culture and optimize retention. The perfect place to start is the break room. 

According to a study on rail operators, higher-quality break rooms that support health are better for employees. The study showed that better break rooms resulted in fewer days of medical leave and lower rates of depression and fatigue. In other words, improving break room services can boost employee health and well-being. 

Healthy Options Are Key for Supporting Phoenix Employee Mental Health

Providing healthy options in the break room is easy. There are a few simple ways you can promote wellness:

  • Exercise Resources: Support healthy habits like exercising in the break room. For example, install showers. That way, people can shower after their morning or mid-day workout. Or, add equipment such as weights and yoga mats. Your team can stretch or get in a quick workout onsite. You might also host events such as a Zumba class. 
  • Onsite Food: Make it easy for your team to eat well. Try offering healthy options in your Phoenix vending machines. When employees need a boost, they can grab a diet soda and a low-fat snack. Other great choices include whole-grain and low-sugar options. Also, offer fresh fruit and vegetables. 
  • Healthy Hydration: Keep your team hydrated with a Phoenix water filtration service. Providing fresh, pure water encourages them to drink more water and keep healthy habits. 
  • Food Storage and Prep Resources: Turn your break room into a kitchen with a few easy changes. Adding a refrigerator, microwave, and toaster oven makes it easy for employees to prepare healthy foods. Also, add seating so that your team can enjoy a relaxing lunch away from their desks.

A Phoenix micro market creates a welcoming space. Employees can grab a fresh sandwich, salad, or tasty snack. This break room solution can cater to everyone’s tastes. That means employees who can’t pack something from home can still find tasty, nutritious meals in the break room. Similar to a café, you can even include a comfortable seating area.

Improving Your Break Room Experience

Show your employees you care by also improving your break room experience. There are many ways to give your break room a boost. 

Some areas to focus on include:

  • Maintenance: Southwest Refreshments ensures your break room runs smoothly. When the break room is always ready to use, workers report reduced fatigue. 
  • Temperature Control: It’s no fun working when it’s too hot. Or too cold. When your team can adjust the thermostat, you boost wellness. The study above showed that people who could adjust the temperature were more active.
  • Natural Light: The sun is good for your mental health. Believe it or not, people who get natural light have healthier diets.
