You know that you want to provide your employees easy access to food and drinks, to keep them happy, energized, focused and productive. But how do you determine the right budget for your snacks? It’s easy to assume that the cheapest snacks result in the greatest “value” and lowest budget, but sometimes, this simply isn’t the case.

As the offices below discovered, offering higher quality snacks, with a greater variety, resulted in happier employees, and by eliminating shopping and organizing duties, office managers are able to complete more valuable tasks for the company.

“When we look at the price of SnackNation, we think it makes alot of sense... compared to the time it would take us to find this variety of products and keep our snack drawer stocked. The price is right for the level of health that the snacks provide, the level of employee satisfaction, and the level of energy the snacks provide during a low point in the afternoon- so we think the price is right for the snacks.”

“With Costco you can get a good bang for your buck, but I was looking for something with a little more variety, and to incorporate in more healthy snacks. So we’re still doing Costco but we’re offsetting it with SnackNation and it’s working really well.”

“From a payroll dollar perspective, my 1-2 hours a week taking snack inventory and placing the order can be spent doing something more productive. Now we are getting double the benefit: I’m working on something else more important, and the snacks are just showing up.”

“The biggest thing is variety... from a financial perspective we couldn’t provide that range of options buying these snacks retail. And plus it saves our office manager alot of time & energy just worrying about how much to order, when to order... we just got on the program and it comes.”

“Before SnackNation it was very chaotic... it was myself and the HR Manager and we were over-ordering things. When SnackNation came I was able to take it over from our HR Manager, which was a big weight off her shoulders.

“I don’t know what it’s like where you are but in Atlanta you have to drive 20 minutes to get anywhere- so she had to drive 20 minutes to Costco and then 20 minutes back to the office, and then the actual time purchasing everything... it was probably about 4-5 hours a week.

“She’s so happy not to have to deal with it anymore. Now she is able to take that time and spend it with her kids.”

“For me, it looks like I’m doing alot of work but SnackNation does most of it for me - so I get alot of accolades for what you guys do... so THANKS!”

“I’m an engineer so it’s alot of hours we put into work, sometimes late at night. The company buys us snacks and it’s really good because I don’t have to drive to 7-11 or Starbucks to get snacks. If someone actually goes outside, gets in their car, goes to 7-11 for fifteen minutes... if alot of people are doing that, collectively, that’s a good 40-50 hours of work lost so it’s actually alot of money.”
