Choosing a refreshment service starts with determining which option fits your workplace and the experience you want to provide. LBK Refreshments offers breakroom solutions and refreshment programs for businesses throughout Lubbock and surrounding West Texas communities. From vending machines and smart coolers to micro markets and office coffee service, we manage everything for your program so employees can enjoy snacks, beverages, fresh food, and coffee on-site.
Choosing the Right Refreshment Service
Before recommending equipment, LBK Refreshments considers your available space, how your breakroom will be used, and the type of products you want to offer.
Vending Machines
Vending machines provide a simple solution for convenient snack and beverage access. Modern vending machines accept cashless payment options, including credit cards, debit cards, and mobile wallets, making it easy for employees to purchase refreshments during breaks and between meetings.
Smart Coolers
Smart CoolersSmart coolers are secure, compact units that expand product variety, including fresh food, without creating a larger retail space. Employees present their payment method to unlock the cooler, grab their items, and close the door to complete checkout automatically. AI technology detects the items removed, allowing businesses to offer fresh meals on-site while maintaining secure access.
Micro Markets
Micro markets offer the widest product selection and create a self-service retail space with open shelves, coolers, and a self-checkout kiosk. These markets can provide an added convenience for lunch breaks and create a welcoming breakroom experience.
Because micro markets are scalable, they can be customized to fit your available space. Smaller installations are ideal for compact breakrooms, while larger markets can have several coolers and shelving units to accommodate larger teams.
Office Coffee Service
An office coffee service gives employees convenient access to coffee without leaving the workplace. LBK Refreshments offers several brewer options to suit different beverage preferences and team sizes:
- Single-cup brewers prepare individual cups of coffee, allowing employees to customize each beverage to their preferences.
- Espresso machines serve café-style beverages such as lattes and cappuccinos.
- Drip coffee brewers are a dependable option for shared breakrooms and workplaces that serve higher volumes of coffee.
We provide a selection of premium coffee blends along with cups, creamers, sweeteners, stirrers, and essentials to complete your coffee station.
Creating the Right Product Selection for Your Workplace
LBK Refreshments offers vending services and breakroom programs with a selection of over 300 products, including snacks, beverages, fresh food, healthy options, and regional favorites.
Product selection for smart coolers and micro markets can include:
- Fresh meals, such as salads, sandwiches, and wraps
- Grab-and-go items
- Fresh fruit and yogurt
- Granola bars, nuts, and trail mix
- Protein-rich snacks
- Bottled water and low-sugar beverages
After the initial installation, inventory data provides our team with information about which products employees purchase. We can then adjust restocking schedules and product selection, giving popular items appropriate space while introducing other products as preferences change.
