The New HR Reality: Low Attendance, High Expectations

Many offices today face:

  • Fluctuating in-office attendance

  • Underutilized cafeterias

  • Rising expectations around food quality and convenience

  • Pressure to justify office experience investments

Running a traditional cafeteria alone often doesn’t make sense anymore.But removing food from the office entirely weakens engagement.

This is where vending machines play a critical role.

Smart Vending Machines: The Always-On Engagement Layer

Grubox vending machines provide:

  • 24/7 access to snacks and healthy food

  • Healthy options beyond packaged junk

  • Zero dependency on attendance or kitchen staff

For HR, vending machines become:

  • A low-cost, high-visibility perk

  • A constant presence even on low-footfall days

  • An engagement tool that doesn’t require activation

Employees feel the benefit even when the office isn’t full.

When teams do come in, Grubox layers on:

  • Free snacks and Healthy snack deliveries for collaboration days
