Testimonials
Mike,
As you know, we recently moved into a new building. While this venue is newly refurbished and much more stylish than our old location, this location is built on our new parent company’s model which is open office architecture. Our engineering staff was not happy with the fact that they were losing traditional offices and were now placed in cubicles. This has been a source of contention for the year-long renovation effort. When we heard about the Avanti Market concept we were enthusiastic because it gave us a way to offer a much more full service restaurant experience for our people compared to the traditional vending machines. Our hope was that this new service would sway employee opinion about the new facility to a more positive view. This has worked out way beyond our expectations. Every day employees stop me to say how much they enjoy the new facility and how happy they are that we provided this new food service option for their convenience. In our first week in the new office every time I passed by the lunch room I noticed employees standing in front of the market just looking at everything that was available. Employee acceptance has been universally positive. I was actually quite surprised to see how quickly things like cereal were selling out. Our people look at the Micro Market as a way to have an enjoyable meal when they need to work late unexpectedly, without having to drive to a restaurant. We are fortunate to have a number of restaurants in close proximity but that has not dampened our employees’ enthusiasm for the Micro Market selections. The employees know that the foods, snacks and fresh fruits provided are monitored for consumption and that the selections will be adjusted based on their buying habits and individual requests.
No one has been uncomfortable with the fact that the market is monitored as everyone understands Lathrop’s ability to continue the service is predicated on their ability to maintain inventory control. This has actually been a non-issue from the first day. From the company’s perspective, we are very pleased that we can provide a broader selection of food services to improve employee morale at no cost or risk. The food samples we were provided were distributed to our employees to try and the reaction then and since has been very positive.
I can’t say enough positive things about the effect that the Micro Market has had on our employee morale and general enthusiasm. They feel that we have gone out of our way to make them happy and they really appreciate the fact that we can provide foods not available in traditional vending machines. We were able to accomplish this without any cost, risk or effort on our part. It’s truly a win-win situation. I highly recommend the Micro Market concept. I would be pleased to share our experiences with any of your potential customers.
