Vending, Pantry, or Micro Market? Choosing a Break Room Model

Break rooms come in a few basic models. Each has strengths, and the best choice depends on your headcount, space, and goals.

Vending machines

Compact, paid by the user, and simple to run. Best for smaller spaces and sites that want an easy option. See vending machines.

Pantry service

The business or property covers the cost and the team helps themselves. Best when you want a break room perk with no payment step. See pantry services.

Micro markets

A self-checkout store with open shelves and coolers. Best for larger sites with steady traffic and a room to spare. See micro markets.

Mix and match

Plenty of sites combine two. A pantry for staples plus a smart cooler for fresh items is a common pairing. Tell us about your space and we will recommend a fit. Request a free quote.
