Staying Hydrated Is Essential in the Workplace

Posted on March 4, 2019 by Orsino Vending

According to a study conducted in 2018, almost 80 percent of American employees admit that they don’t drink enough water throughout the course of the average workday. This suggests that millions of Americans are chronically dehydrated and not able to put forth their best effort at work as a result. Today we’ll consider a few reasons why it’s so important to stay hydrated throughout the work day.

Being hydrated keeps people alert.

When you’re hard at work, it helps to be as alert and attentive as possible. If you’re not drinking enough water, however, you may find that you become easily fatigued and distracted from the task at hand. In addition to its negative physical affects, dehydration can also impair cognitive function, making it much harder to solve problems and think clearly at work.

It prevents lapses in productivity.

There is also a strong correlation between hydration and productivity. Some studies have found that a 1 percent drop in a person’s hydration level can contribute to a 12 percent decrease in productivity. By encouraging your employees to drink more water at work, you may find that their overall productivity increases significantly.

It helps keep sick days to a minimum.

From headaches and dizziness to fainting and even seizures, dehydration can cause a variety of unpleasant health issues. It can also make it harder for our immune systems to fight infections diseases like the flu. When your employees are properly hydrated, they’ll be less likely to miss work due to illness.

As you can see, dehydration can be a huge problem for many companies and their employees. At Orsino Vending, we offer convenient beverage machines that make it easy for people to drink plenty of water at work. To learn more, feel free to give us a call at (201) 871-9286 or contact us online today!

Millennials Are Driving The Vending Machine Industry

Posted on March 30, 2016 by Joseph Orsino

Vending machines have been around for decades.

What once was a leading source of snacks and beverages during the work and school day, vending machines now have to compete with food delivery services and food trucks.

With the millennial generation (those coming into adulthood in the year 2000 and after) gaining control in a variety of industries including vending, we are learning how to market and advertise to this diverse group of people.

The millennial generation grew up in an era where technology was taking a dominant stance in how we live our lives. Computers, smartphones, and other modern technologies have been second nature to this group, rather than a life skill for those in the older generations, who took the time to catch up.

So, in terms of vending machines, what can we expect from millennials?

They are attracted to vending machines that offer fresh and affordable foods and beverages with just a quick touch of a button.

There is a decrease in desire for sugary snacks and beverages from a rising awareness of obesity and heart health impacted by unhealthy eating.

Cash carry is virtually non-existent with paying options such as Apple Pay, Google Wallet, credit and debit cards. Smart vending solutions would be to include a machine that allows for a variety of payment types.

Mobile paying options largely depend on the proper placement of vending machine, where wireless access is strongest.

The millennial generation is a great demographic group to test out new vending technologies on as they are not intimated by new technology, but rather encourage it.

As the vending industry works toward making vending machine purchases more mobile savvy, we can expect that any changes will be met with gratitude and increased sales.

Orsino Vending works continuously to provide the latest technology within our vending machines.

Serving a wide variety of industries, you can guarantee that we strive to make the purchase of vending machine items more convenient and the selections healthy and plentiful.

Vending Machines – Healthy Options

Posted on January 19, 2015 by Joseph Orsino

Everyone has to eat sometime during the day. When you are working 8 – 12 hours a day, you’re going to get hungry and start looking around for sustenance. If you are like most normal working Americans, you might look to the lunch you packed or dinner you brought with you, takeout, delivery, or fast food restaurants in the area to curb your hunger.

If you haven’t already brought food with you though, those other options can get expensive, especially on a daily basis and buying and consuming fried food on many occasions can become an unhealthy habit. In a society where we are trying to stay fit and eat better, what’s another option that can satisfy the rumblings in your stomach and also not hurt your wallet?

Encourage Healthy Living with Fresh Food Vending

Posted on June 17, 2014 by Joseph Orsino

The desire to eat better and maintain a healthier lifestyle seems to have taken the world by storm as a trend that is actually worth hopping on the bandwagon for. You might have even started to notice a change in the types of vending machines you’ve come across lately, which now contain healthier options for their patrons. Schools and offices have begun to incorporate fresh food vending machines to offer better snack options to students and employees alike.

Did you know that the average adult spends nearly eight hours a day sitting? If you work in a sedentary work environment, the World Health Organization reports that you are at a higher risk for diabetes and heart disease. So if you can’t always get up and move around, you need to eat healthier! A vending machine that offers fresh fruits and vegetables, garden fresh salads and Nutri-Grain bars might help do the trick!

Most consumers purchase for convenience. A lunch hour doesn’t leave much time for employees to get their hands on a balanced meal, causing them to run to the nearest fast food chain. If a fully stocked vending machine with healthy crowd favorites was available on site, they would probably be more apt to eat it! A machine with fresh food in the lunchroom is certainly more convenient than leaving to find a McDonald’s, right?

Choosing to include a healthy vending machine in your office is the best investment you could make. Why not promote a healthy lifestyle with additional options for your hard-working employees? From trail mix to pita chips and yogurt, the options are endless. Browse our full list of options and start your office’s journey to an energized and healthy work week!
