![Healthy Office Snacks (2)-1 Healthy Office Snacks (2)-1](https://info.craftydelivers.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Healthy%20Office%20Snacks%20(2)-1.png?width=2000&height=650&name=Healthy%20Office%20Snacks%20(2)-1.png)
Running a successful office kitchen can be a lot like your favorite Broadway show. Of course, every production has stars that appeal to the masses, but what makes it great is the supporting cast that adds depth to the performance and reels in the audience from every angle, making the show really sing.
The same can be said for an office snack station. You have your crowd pleasers that the majority of your employees enjoy, but you also need to have a variety of options that appeal to your employees' dietary preferences to create harmony from the inside out.
The hard part for workplace managers scaling an office food and beverage program is that healthy means something different to everyone. While one team member may need heart-healthy snacks, another may follow a paleo diet or require gluten-free snack options. Every product, large or small, plays a role in the production that is your office kitchen.
The key to greatness is ensuring you're in sync with what is happening on the ground at your offices so you know exactly how much to stock and when. This means having a birds-eye view of your inventory, consumption, and operations to ensure you hit all the right notes for your team while operating a cost-efficient program.
With Crafty running the show, you can count on your office pantry being in sync with your employees' needs and preferences while your inventory is perfectly cued up. Discover the script for how to incorporate healthy office snacks into your F&B program to keep your team focused, driven, and on track toward your goals.
What are healthy office snacks?

Think back to when you were a kid for a moment. For a "healthy" snack at school, you're given whole wheat crackers and a cheese stick. You probably thought this was a decent snack, right? Most would agree — except for the kid sitting next to you who couldn't have dairy or the one with a gluten allergy. Can you imagine how left out they might have felt being served a plate of cheese and crackers at snack time? So sad.
Healthy office snacks are not a one-size-fits-all. What is healthy to one person may be the opposite to another. The key is to understand exactly what your employees require from a dietary, health, and taste standpoint and then respond accordingly. As Hamilton says…
Yes, smile more… but also listen more. It's a waste of your time and resources if employees have to buy their own office snacks because your pantry doesn't have what they need. Plus, these frequent trips to the convenience store negatively impact your team's productivity, company engagement, and eventually, the likelihood your employees will stay at your company.
To run a cost-effective and impactful office pantry program, you need to pinpoint exactly what healthy means to your employees and deliver that consistently across locations. If you're looking for a place to start, below is a list of the most popular dietary and health filters based on Crafty's 2023 data:

How do employees and employers benefit?
Imagine an office buzzing with energy, where employees are not just meeting deadlines but exceeding them. Healthy snacks can contribute to peak efficiency, focus, and well-being. According to the CDC only 32.5% of adults in the U.S. eat two or more servings of fruits per day, and only 26.3% eat three or more servings of vegetables.
What you eat impacts your cognitive performance, so making healthy choices throughout your workday is crucial to boosting your brain power. The top workplaces prioritize this and, as a result, see the following:
- 20% increase in productivity [International Labor Organization]
- Reduced workplace absences [National Library of Medicine]
- Increased Engagement, Creativity, and Happiness [British Journal of Health Psychology]
It's not just having access to random healthy snacks but having a tailored selection to fit your team's specific needs. Office managers are incredibly busy and don't have time to comb through thousands of products. They need a centralized platform to easily filter products to make agile food service adjustments tailored to each office. Your workplace team becomes more efficient, and your employees get the healthy office snacks they deserve. Win-win!
