Most seasoned business owners know that a happy employee typically equates to a more productive employee. Adding snack vending machines to your office is one way to keep employee s happy.

The snack machines found in today’s offices are no longer limited to soda, candy, chips and prepackaged sandwiches. Many snack vending machine suppliers offer healthy snack vending machines featuring a wide range of delicacies, such as granola bars, energy drinks and more.

Before you choose snack vending machines for your business, consider the following:

  1. Ask employees what items they would like to see in a snack vending machine, even requesting that they distinguish between preferred soda and snack food brands.
  2. Determine whether or not you want full-service food vending machine providers that restock items and handle any maintenance issues, or if you would prefer to purchase a coin operated snack vending machine outright.
  3. Explore local or regional snack vending machine providers to support local products and services.



Action Steps
The best contacts and resources to help you get it done

Offer healthy snack alternatives


Many people today are trying to be more health-conscious, so why not help them out by providing an alternative to candy vending machines? Even better, the snacks found in healthy snack vending machines will give employees a real boost instead of the false energy a sugar-high typically provides.

I recommend: Quill offers a variety of healthy foods in its snack vending machines, including granola bars, nuts and 100-calorie snack packs.

Quench that thirst


Chances are your employees will want to wash down that healthy snack with a cold or hot beverage. Make sure there are plenty of options for them to choose from.

I recommend: OfficeCoffee is more than the name implies: They help companies find the best providers of office coffee services, water delivery service, snack vending machines and more. For small companies consider 1.800.VENDING’s all-in-one snack vending machine, including cold drinks.

Support local vendors


A local or regional snack vending machine distributor may be able to provide more hands-on service as well as include items and brands that are regionally produced.

I recommend: Vending Assistance serves California businesses by comparing quality, affordable snack vending machine suppliers for you based on your needs. Local Vending is a full-service snack vending machine company serving the Chicago area. MagicYellow can help you find candy vending machines in all major U.S. cities.

Tips & Tactics
Helpful advice for making the most of this Guide

  • Consider renting a machine directly from a vendor. This will limit the products you can offer, but you'll typically be able to keep some of the profits with this type of set up.
