OFFICE REFRESHMENT
Key insights to help operators stay ahead of the competition
S
pecialists in design, manufacture and installation of vending furniture,
Nebrak has found that in the last 12 months, several challenges and trends have reshaped the landscape of office refreshment. These are their insights…
Demand for health-conscious options: There’s a noticeable shift towards healthier snacks and beverages in office settings. Employees are increasingly
prioritising wellness, prompting operators to offer a diverse range of nutritious choices in their vending offerings.
Emphasis on sustainability: Environmental awareness is increasingly shaping purchasing decisions, with businesses prioritising vending solutions that support their corporate sustainability goals. This includes adopting energy-efficient technologies like LED lighting, reducing waste through recyclable packaging, and eliminating plastic bottles altogether with innovative hydration solutions such as the Flavour Tap from Aqua Libre. As part of Nebrak’s commitment to sustainability, the company has installed a bank of Aqua-Libre smart taps in its break-out area and is including them in many of its designs for clients.

Integration of technology: The integration of advanced payment technologies, such as contactless payments and mobile apps, has become essential. Nebrak has designed its own secure metal fabricated payment pod that can be integrated into furniture so that operators have the flexibility to add their preferred payment system where needed. This trend not only enhances convenience for users but also provides operators with valuable data insights to optimise their offer and improve user experience.
The future of vending is green
An Italian company NaturDesign Cardboard Furniture, which specialises in the design and construction of eco-sustainable set-ups for break areas, has been successfully offering a set-up service for sustainable vending. The company’s break area set-ups are designed in ecological
natural cardboard to support a healthy and conscious lifestyle. The set ups are made by processing “triple wave” cardboard panels of minimum 14 mm with the possibility of coupling it to obtain solid structures resistant to weights and impacts. The coverings, furnishings and modules for waste sorting are coated
with a water-repellent and insulating plastic layer and can be detached during disposal without affecting the sustainability of the solution. The company contends that with these solutions you can build customer loyalty or differentiate your offer by offering original and sustainable break areas capable of conveying useful information for your communication and sales strategies.

Personalised and flexible offerings: Customisation is key to meeting diverse employee preferences. Operators are exploring vending solutions that can adapt to changing demands, allowing for tailored refreshment options based on location-specific needs or time-of-day preferences whilst maintaining a consistent brand experience. Proactive operators are tackling these challenges by integrating vending equipment with advanced payment technologies and features like smart taps, smart refrigeration, integrated recycling, neon signage, media screens, and stylish LED lighting. Nebrak’s Express Café and the 365 Retail Markets PicoCoffee furniture solution showcase collaborative efforts to align with these trends. Operators who prioritise the consumer experience and adopt a holistic approach will stay ahead in this competitive landscape, while those who neglect the evolving expectations of office refreshment consumers risk falling behind.
