Once we’ve set up your standing orders with perishable items such as fresh fruit, milk and bread, most workplaces start with the pantry essentials. Think coffee, tea, sugar, stirrers, sweet and savoury snacks, and some basic cleaning supplies for your kitchen and office.
Particularly in a post-covid environment, many workplaces are introducing a variety of complimentary food products to their tearooms to keep their staff engaged and productive.
The fastest-growing trends for our customers currently are:
1. Healthier for you
“Take care of your employees, and they’ll take care of your business. It’s as simple as that. Healthy, engaged employees are your top competitive advantage.” – Richard Branson, Founder Of The Virgin Group.
We have a wide range of healthy choice pantry items, including snacking nuts and bars, healthier popcorn and chip varieties, as well as drinks, breakfast foods and spreads. And in our perishable range, we have plenty of healthy choices across our fruit, milk, bread and yoghurt products.
2. Breakfast
Providing breakfast for your employees is proving to be one of the most popular initiatives with the best ROI that we are assisting our customers with. Trends show supplying breakfast gets the day off to a productive start and encourages teams to have collaborative discussions in a common area.
Our breakfast range is extensive across both single and standing order products, including cereal, oats, muesli, bread and butter, spreads, fruit and yoghurt. These can be arranged in both larger and single-portion sizes to cater for your unique requirements.
3. Sustainability
Our business practices are conscious of environmental, economic and social sustainability impacts, and we know this is also important to many of our customers. We have a range of sustainable products to cater for our customers, whether you:
- Want to make more conscious purchasing decisions
- Need to meet sustainability procurement targets
- Wish for a premium range for those special occasions or guests
We have sustainable product options for both single and standing order products, such as coffee and tea, drinks, fruit and milk, spreads, sweet and savoury snacks, and cleaning and hygiene ranges.
4. Growing vegan range
Great vegan food can promote inclusivity, sustainability and good nutrition. We can cater for vegan staff preferences across a wide array of products, and are always on the lookout for more options.
5. Diverse suppliers
Our expansive range has been curated with diversity and inclusivity in mind, sourced from Australia’s best brands.
We love supporting up-and-coming brands with a point of difference, such as Dash Water who are doing their bit to cut food waste by saying yes to produce that others say no to.
Including First Nations products in our range has also been an important consideration for our diverse range, with further growth in this category highly anticipated.
