Downsizing the Company Cafeteria
Businesses
are cutting corners where ever they can. They are always looking for ways to cut
back on expenses. One way that I have noticed is that larger companies are
replacing their cafeterias with vending machine.
When I was in the insurance business I would go to
the work site. In many of the large companies they would have full cafeteria
service. Many of these companies were in rural areas located to far out to make
it practical for anyone to leave for lunch. You had 2 choices..... brown bag it,
or go to the cafeteria.
While looking for ways to cut costs many companies
are replacing their cafeteria with vending machines.
These would not be just your typical vending
machines that you see on a regular basis. These vending machines would offer not
only fresh food but also a variety of packaged frozen foods.
The fresh food would be just the type of food that
had been served in the cafeteria, but now is it being prepared outside of the
building from local businesses. The vending operator would be able to supply a
wide range of items because he would be able to go to different local sandwich
and salad makers. Different establishments that cater to different ethnic
groups. As for the frozen food machine... Anything could go in that, from a main
course to ice cream.
The company would no longer need cafeteria workers
to prepare and cook the food or even to serve it. With a variety of special food
vending machines as well as coffee machines and of course the typical candy,
snack, soda, water, and juice machine the entire cafeteria would only need
personnel to keep the place tidy.
The sole responsibility would be on the vending
operator. He would own the machine as well as stock the machine and keep them
serviced. Replacing a cafeteria with a bay of vending machines is being looked
at by many larger companies that have existing cafeterias.
People who had been eating food from the cafeteria
before would not necessarily notice any price difference because they would have
been use to paying cafeteria food
prices.
A vending machine is great to offer not only the
workers of a business but also guests that visit too. There is a vending machine
for all locations.
