Judson Kleinman July 31, 2023

Companies throughout the greater NY metro market—from northern NJ to the five boroughs of NYC—are bringing employees back to the office in greater numbers. One way to keep your team happy and fueled throughout the work day is through a micro market or pantry service. Micro markets and office pantries are somewhat similar—especially when set up, stocked, and attended by Corporate Essentials. “Establishing a micro market or a fully stocked office pantry are both ways to elevate the office break room,” said Judson Kleinman, CEO of Corporate Essentials. “The break room has always been integral to the success of many of our NY area clients, and providing great coffee and food has always been important. But today, elevating the break room with full pantry service has become even more important.” Pantry Service for NY and NJ Businesses The pantry service from Corporate Essentials creates an up-leveled break room.

Employers throughout the NYC/NJ metro area are bringing employees back to the office more and more . . . and they are tasked with finding office perks that their teams desire.

In short, a rewarding break room experience reflects your company’s positive corporate

The 5 Essential Break Room Snack Types Your Office Needs

Judson Kleinman July 6, 2023

Break room snacks make everything better. Not only are free snacks a brilliant mid-afternoon boost, research shows that employees who have access to healthy food in their company break room are happier and more productive. There’s something to be said about not having to venture outside the building onto New York City streets for your snack fix. While just 16 percent of employees report they have high-quality beverages and free food at their workplace, 67 percent of employees with snacks are “extremely” or “very” happy with their employer. While providing nuts, granola and other essential snacks to your New York City, New Jersey and Manhattan employees isn’t as costly as other employee perks, it makes a significant difference to your people. Entrepreneur Beth Monaghan reports that snacks are a big factor at companies where people look forward to being at work. Per Entrepreneur, the benefits go well beyond employee happiness

Food for Thought: Micro Markets in the Workplace

Judson Kleinman August 4, 2021

Summer’s here, the pandemic is passing, and your team is coming back to the office. After months of working virtually, there may be a bit of an adjustment period as everyone adapts to structured breaks and lunch hours. With that in mind, you may want to consider the addition of a micro market to your office floor plan. What Are Micro Markets? A significant corporate trend, micro markets are miniature food retail spaces with self-checkout technology. These facilities provide a convenient, healthy, and straightforward fueling experience for the workplace. They are easy to use and are open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. They can be designed to fit virtually any space, need no staffing, and employees love the convenience. They are intended to be used with auto-payment apps that promote touch-free transactions through mobile devices. Why are Micro Markets Better than Vending Machines?

What happens to lavish office perks in a post-pandemic world? Unlimited vacation, casual dress codes, foosball tables, hammocks, nap rooms and video games may attract millennials and Gen Z to a workplace—but they may not “nourish” employees enough. As CNBC reports, free food is still the perk that attracts top talent most often. Food is a great motivator for influencing productivity, engagement, and community. Simply put, the more edible benefits available to your team, the more excited they’ll be to come to work. In fact, the free-food-at-work trend was cited back in 2018, when a Society for Human Resources Management report noted that the percentage of employers offering free food had grown from 20% in 2014 to 32%. The trend continues. A recent survey by Knight Frank Research listed onsite food and beverage as the #1 planned amenity among top facilities companies. It concluded: “As companies rebuild themselves, employee wellbeing is particularly
