The 5 C’s to Reopening Your Corporate Café
There’s no doubt that the pandemic has significantly altered what global workplaces and today’s economy look like, creating a ‘new normal’ among corporate employees who no longer head to the office to do their jobs.
While the majority of jobs that have become remote or hybrid come from the tech and finance sectors, certain industries still rely on skilled service workers, such as manufacturing. “You can’t make carpet from your basement,” says Sandra Moran, chief marketing officer at Workforce Software.
And while there’s also no question that the hospitality industry took the hardest hit during this time, A Spice of Life Café Division is here to share with you the 5 C’s to Reopening Your Corporate Café to bring people back to the office!
Convenience & Comfort – It looks a lot more attractive when your employees can leave the paper brown bag at the curb and instead just swing by the café on the fourth floor. Where your employees taste convenience in flavor & cuisines, your company saves time by ensuring that person can make their next meeting while still enjoying lunch in the comfort of the company café. Employees prioritize comfort, and this starts with a secure work environment free of outside factors that come with leaving the facility.
Cost Savings – Cafés offer health-conscious fare at great value, sometimes half the price of eating out, putting more money back in their wallets. With the rising cost of living, every bit of savings matters. For just a fraction of the cost of their meal, you provide a benefit that boosts productivity, recruits great talent, and ensures you retain satisfied, well-fed employees, ultimately saving your company more in the long run.
Camaraderie & Culture – If we learned anything from the pandemic, it was practicing new skills and recipes in the kitchen with family. Food is fuel, but it also brings people to the table to connect, share, and brainstorm solutions cross-departmentally. We are all different, and our flavors certainly reflect that here at Spice, too!
Whether you have a full-service café kitchen & culinary team for hot sandwiches, bowls, and sides; or a barista & bites for mid-day cravings, we assure you that your café is the central hub for re-engaging your staff, boosting morale, and providing a sliver of comfort that makes people feel more at home. It’s a place to create, commune, and celebrate.
And don’t forget to have fun with it!
