New York’s Healthier Vending Options

Many consumers are looking for healthier alternatives when eating. Even in the work place many companies promote healthier lifestyles to their employees by health management assessments, discounts to health facilities and even healthier selections in their break room vending machines. In New York, Champion Vending is the leader in providing healthy alternative product selections in the Tri-State Area. When looking for a vending company to meet your vending needs for your break room in New York or surrounding areas, make sure the vending company you choose has skilled professionals, who are able to meet with you to establish a vending program customized to include a healthier product selection.

One of the most easiest ways for a vending company to integrate wellness into your vending program is by offering you Fit Pick approved snacks. If a vending company in New York or in the Tri-Sate Area is a member of NAMA, they can offer you a variety of nutritional choices that meet the Fit Pick approval by identifying healthy product selections in the vending machines with a Fit Pick sticker. It’s that simple! No more worries about having to break your commitment to eating healthy while at your work place. With the right vending provider your office vending machines will always include a variety of products that are low in sugar and fat.

Large manufacturers like Nestle and Pepsico are also developing newer healthier products for the vending channel. Because Champion Vending is unmatched in customer service, when those products become available we will always rotate them into the vending machines.

Champion Vending encourages our customers to make suggestions to our highly trained route drivers. Champion Vending has a team of qualified employees who will take product suggestions and incorporate them into the product mix.
It truly is a team effort to get the perfect selection of healthy products and Champion Vending is flexible to accommodate everyone’s needs.

Here is a snap shot of healthier for you items in a vending machine.

snack vending machine new yorkHow do you know what is considered a great vending service in the New York area. Will they deliver what they promise? What types of questions should I ask a potential vending service before making a decision? What are some things that I should be aware of when looking for a full service vending company? If you have asked these questions then you are not alone. Most companies look for a vending service in New York that will meet the needs and desires of their employees but just do not know what questions to ask when searching for the right vending company. Well I have some important questions you should focus on when trying to find a company that can deliver on their promises. You may even consider these valuable tips that could potentially relieve you from a disastrous outcome.

First and for most you need to make sure that the vending company is fully licensed and insured. If one of your employees happens to get sick from eating a product out of a fresh food vending machine, you want to make sure that the vending company has liability insurance for potential law suits. Along this line you may want to consider asking if the vending company offers workers compensation for its route drivers. If one of their employees gets hurt in your state of business, you don’t want to be liable or responsible for injury compensation.

Another important question you should ask when interviewing a vending company is how long has the vending company been in business. Is their business a one-person operation working part-time or is their business a full-time company dependent on its customer base? Do you really want a vending company servicing your office with a variety of snacks and beverages who works out of his or her garage at their state of residence? This actually leads to a third question to ask. How is the product being handled and how long is the product stored before it is delivered to your customers? Is it a garage, a truck or a clean warehouse? Can you visit the vending company’s facility?

Service is always a great topic for asking questions. How long will a machine be out of service if there is a problem…hours, days or weeks and does your company have their own machine mechanic and what are the servicing standards your route drivers are trained to perform? I’m sure you will have disgruntle employees if they are not able to get their mid morning snack like a pastry or they may have to run to the nearest Starbucks because the coffee vending machine is out of service for days at a time.

Another important question that is often missed when interviewing

a vending company is what technologies does the vending company have in-place for improved customer service? Are the vending machines equipped with new Guaranteed Product Delivery Systems that guarantee the product or your money back? To explain Guaranteed Product Delivery Systems in greater detail it is an infrared technology which detects any unsuccessful vend cycle, guaranteeing that your employees either receives their product, or gets their money back. This new technology greatly reduces the chance that your employees will lose their money or not get the item they have selected. This will definitely eliminate frustrated employees and management having to worry about reimbursing employees for lost money. Do you have a tracking system in place to know slower moving products and potentially out dated items and how often does your route drivers rotate product selections? These are all great questions to ask to eliminate internal stress between the management team of the office and the employees.

Safety is also an over looked factor when searching for the right vending and office coffee provider. Have criminal background checks been cleared on the route drivers and technicians entering your facility? Are the employees required to wear photo identification and professional uniforms? You don’t want to be liable for inappropriate actions at your place of business when steps could have been taken to prevent such actions. And last but not least when choosing the right vending company for your line of business make sure to ask for at least three business references that currently are using them as their vending provider. Hopefully by asking these questions when interviewing a potential vending service it will clear up any confusion and frustration when trying to find the best vending providor for your Greater New York based business.
