Why Choose a Micro Market for Your Hybrid Team?
There are many reasons a micro market is a great solution for staff that are sometimes in the office and sometimes working remotely. It can replace expensive, outdated food services, offer lots of variety, stay open all hours, boost retention, and pair with more options. Let’s dive into the details.
Replace the Office Cafeteria
A micro market is a great alternative to a full cafeteria. It provides all the perks of a cafeteria without the downsides, like food waste and staffing needs.
Your hybrid team can pick out fresh food from glass front coolers and open shelves. Also, we offer a customized service. Stock your Augusta break room with your team’s favorite healthy options, tasty snacks, beverages, and fresh foods.
Still offer Fresh Food
Provide a variety of fresh food to your team with a micro market. We rotate items to keep selections interesting and fresh. There is always something delicious for them to choose from, no matter when they come to the office.
Having food in the break room saves your team time, letting them refuel with meals onsite. Plus, they avoid traffic and stress.
Stay Open 24/7
Our micro market service uses a self-checkout kiosk, so there is no need to close! Staff working any time of day or shift can use the market. It’s a bit like our modern Augusta vending machines, but bigger and more open. Don’t worry though. Cameras placed in the micro market ensure safety for all customers.
Entice Hybrid Workers to Come In by Subsidizing
Offer your hybrid employees a perk that will have them wanting to come back to the office by subsidizing your micro market. With this option, your company pays part or all of the cost of snacks and food. For example, cover the cost of healthy snacks to make them free to staff and foster wellness. Free or low-cost food options are an employee benefit that can boost morale and help attract new talent.
Another option is to add money to your staff’s micro market accounts. Reward hard workers and celebrate when your team reaches goals. They can use the money in the onsite micro market when they are in the office. Plus, using the accounts gives your hybrid staff access to extra rewards, such as special pricing. This exciting option boosts interest in the break room without any extra effort on your part.
Better Break Room Vibe
Micro market service modernizes your break room with the newest self-serve technology. Staff don’t need to worry about scrounging for change to pay. The self-serve kiosk accepts the latest payment options such as Apple Pay and Google Pay.
There are also the latest in coolers and other break room equipment. Enjoy the state-of-the-art office coffee machines, water coolers, and more. This creates a welcoming feel and a great break room experience for your team.
Works well with other Services
A micro market will fit in perfectly with other break room services, too, such as Augusta office coffee or water filtration service. Your team will love getting gourmet coffee to keep them energized during the day. Plus, water is essential for good hydration and health.
