Mobile Payments and Your Baltimore Break Room: Why It’s a Must-Have

December 15, 2022 by Katie Waxman

Today more and more people are using mobile payments. In fact, it’s becoming part of how we make purchases and interact daily. Because of that, it needs to be part of your Baltimore break room services. This way your vending machines and micro-market will be employee benefits.

Mobile payments are growing

More people are turning to mobile payments. According to Digital Virgo, the number of mobile wallets in use is on track to reach 4.8 billion by 2025 (up from 2.8 billion in 2020). Basically, this is almost 60% of the world’s population. They will all use and expect mobile payments, including visitors and staff who use your Baltimore break room.

Refreshment service should be a perk

Your vending service is meant to be a perk for your team. For example, staff having 24-hour access to cold beverages and nourishing snacks. You want them to be able to use this perk and buy from the vending machines. As a result, adding mobile payment options is a must.

If you have a micro-market at your Baltimore office, your micro-market account can be funded through mobile as well. This way, any time you want a fresh or healthy item, you can pay at the kiosk from your account. There is no need to carry your wallet or cash. Plus, by using a micro-market account, you can access promotions that save you money

Mobile payments are cutting-edge

Why E-Paying in Your Washington DC Break Room Is Safe

August 15, 2022 by Katie Waxman

In the digitally dominated world of today, it is more important than ever to ensure data security, especially when E-paying. This applies both at home and in the workplace. Therefore, keeping the personal and financial information of your employees safe is essential. This needs to be part of any Washington DC break room service. Does your break room offer a micro-market? What about a cashless vending machine? Both can be a great advantage. However, they can also be a source of security concern. Do you ever feel unsure whether or not this vending technology is safe for your employees? Fear not. We are breaking down what you need to know about E-paying and why it is safe for your Washington DC break room.

Understanding E-paying

E-paying, also called electronic payment, is paying for a product or service without cash. This can include both credit cards and mobile wallets. We contract with a bank or credit card company that has robust security systems to manage electronic payments. This ensures your safety. Most often, when you e-pay at a vending machine, the payment terminal gives you a 15- to 16-digit number or digital token. This is used to identify you, instead of using your credit card number. The token is used to handle the payment. Your credit card number is never stored in the terminal or vending machine.

Vending Machines Security

Fewer people carry cash, so having an e-pay option in the break room is an excellent employee benefit. After all, offering those healthy vending choices only works if your employees can buy them. Knowing that e-pay uses tokens instead of your credit card number, you know data is safe. You get a convenient, easy, and quick way to shop Washington DC vending machines. It becomes a time saver for staff in the workplace and a way to boost corporate morale with treats and hydration.

Micro-Market Apps

Just as E-paying is convenient in vending machines, it is also terrific for Washington DC micro-markets. Choose the fresh food or delicious beverage you want, and then use a cashless option to pay at the self-checkout kiosk. The e-payment security measures will kick in and keep your data safe. Additionally, micro-markets offer an employee account option. You can use the micro-market kiosk to open a new account and then load money from a credit card. Just like other E-payments, special technology transmits your information and protects it from theft. Once you have your account funded, there’s no swiping or inserting needed. Pay directly from the account. As an added benefit, an employee micro-market account is full of promotional and sales notifications.

Secure Your Break Room Today

Whether you opt for an open floor plan with a micro-market or you choose vending machines, security is important. With E-paying, employees have a safe and easy way to purchase snacks and refreshments. We can even help you make your Baltimore, Harford, CT, and Washington DC office break room extra safe by providing cameras in the micro-market. This is a great way to ensure food and location safety as well.

NAMA Show 2021

August 30, 2021August 25, 2021 by Katie Waxman

NAMA Show 2021 was much different than years past but joining NAMA 2021 was invaluable. Collaborating and learning with our peers was incredible. If there’s one clear takeaway from the conference, the vending and refreshment industry has changed and will continue to change. But, through those changes, we’re finding better ways to serve you and your Baltimore, Hartford, and Washington, DC break rooms.

Technology Remains Critical

We invest in technology because of how it impacts your experience in Baltimore, Hartford, and Washington, DC break rooms. Technology streamlines everything, whether it’s keeping your micro-markets stocked or ensuring we never run out of your favorite products at our warehouse. However, in the last two years, we’ve seen that touchless technology is one of the most critical technologies we can invest in. NAMA 2021 reinforced that sentiment, and we’re happy to continue providing a touchless break room experience.

Fresh Food Wins

NAMA 2021 highlighted how vital fresh food has become to our industry. Today’s employees are putting their health first and consuming healthy food, snacks, and meals. With our latest acquisition, we acquired a commissary that provides excellent fresh food. So, we are more than thrilled to offer healthy and fresh meals through our Baltimore, Hartford, and Washington, DC catering services.

Be Ready to Pivot

If 2020 taught us anything, it’s that everything is constantly changing. And, the break room industry is no different. It’s been our mission to stay flexible and fluid so that we can provide you with solutions when you need them. We will continue to provide custom and flexible Baltimore, Hartford, and Washington, DC office coffee, vending, and micro-market solutions.

Baltimore Break Room Technology

July 28, 2021July 21, 2021 by Katie Waxman

Technology has always been a critical part of our business. It has completely changed the way we run our business. And, the way you experience the break room is significantly impacted by that same technology. Let’s dive in and learn about our modern break room technology and how it upgrades your break room experience.

What break room technology have we invested in?

Meet ServCycleTech- our proprietary break room technology. It’s a combination of several software platforms, all communicating in real-time. This allows us to track every level of the service cycle. Our sales tracking technology tells us exactly what your location is stocked with and when it’s purchased. So, we know when your stock levels start to get low, which triggers a service date. Then, we stock our trucks with the exact product your account needs for the next day from those forecasted stocking levels. The same thing happens with our warehouse stock. We are alerted when our product levels are low, ensuring we never run out of your Washington, DC break room favorites.

Along with this property technology, we use modern, state-of-the-art equipment and kiosks for an upgraded experience.

How does technology impact your experience?

Our employees have more time to interact with you because they spend less time checking stocking levels and figuring out what snacks, food, and beverages are needed. When they arrive, they already know what you break room needs to be stocked with. So, they can spend time communicating with you and ensuring your Baltimore break room is clean.

Whether you’re using our Baltimore, Hartford, and Washington, DC vending service or micro-markets, you’ll have access to a touchless break room experience. Our vending machines, coolers, and kiosks are technologically advanced and equipped to handle mobile payments.

You’ll also enjoy stock levels that never dip as well as having access to our data. This data will tell you what items are selling and which items are not selling, allowing you to decide whether or not you want to keep stocking an item. Whether it’s a Hartford office coffee service or pantry service, your break room will always be stocked with your favorite refreshments.
