An office breakroom is more than just a space to spend a fifteen minute break and a spot to sit for lunch. The breakroom may be one of the most important rooms in your office; it features a central location for employees to meet, build relationships, and discuss the day-to-day activities of the office. Think back to how many impromptu meetings you’ve had in your breakroom and how many issues have been discussed, problems solved, and ideas brainstormed.
When I was younger, I would get excited at the idea of visiting my father at work. Their breakroom was a veritable cornucopia of fun for a ten year old. It featured a pool table, pinball machine, vending machines full of sugary delights, and a TV with cable. After changing hands multiple times over the past twenty years, it now looks like a waiting room of misery with dirty old tables, ancient schoolroom chairs, a candy dispenser with three year old cashews, and a set of coffee pots so stained you’d have to look inside to see if there were any remnants of coffee left.
Avoid the dismal breakroom scene by visiting the selection of breakroom supplies from BuyOnlineNow.com. Start by visiting our selection of coffee makers, because fresh and hot coffee keeps people happy. With brewers like the Bunn-O-Matic Airport Coffee Brewer and Airpot Carafes, your coffee will stay hot and fresh all day long. Avoid disagreements on the strength (or weakness) of coffee by using pre-packaged coffee packets like those from Sara Lee.
Keeping a clean break room is integral to keeping the space inviting. Magazines and newspapers are nice for quick reading material, but should be discarded if they are older than 4 months. Keep a nice stockpile of cleaning products on hand for spills and day-to-day messes. Organize your creamers, condiments, and lids with products from Vertiflex; take a look at their coffee bars, it’s a great all in one coffee storage solution.
