21 Aug Create a Better Workplace Dining Culture in Des Moines with Apex
Creating a workplace where employees feel valued takes more than competitive pay and benefits. The everyday experience matters, too. For Des Moines businesses, a high-quality workplace dining program can turn meals and breaks into an employee benefit that supports satisfaction, wellness, and workplace culture.
Apex Restaurant & Market Solutions brings a white-glove approach to corporate dining, customizing each program around the people, space, and goals of the organization. From a full-service café with chef-prepared entrées and a branded coffee bar to a hybrid café paired with a self-serve micro market, Apex can develop a dining solution that fits your workplace.
Workplace Dining Tailored to Employee Preferences
No two Des Moines workplaces are exactly alike, so their dining programs shouldn’t be either. Apex takes time to understand what employees want and develops customized menus and services around those preferences.
As a restaurant company at heart, Apex emphasizes food quality. Corporate dining menus feature scratch-made dishes and premium ingredients, with options designed around wellness and sustainability. Menus can also be customized to accommodate the tastes and needs of each workplace.
For employers, this personalized approach can make workplace dining more than a convenience. It becomes an amenity that encourages employees to stay onsite, connect with colleagues, and enjoy the workday.
Make Health and Wellness Part of the Menu
Today’s employees increasingly appreciate access to food that supports their personal wellness goals. Apex makes those choices easier to identify and enjoy.
Apex’s in-house chefs developed Better Choices for a Better You, a wellness program that categorizes menu offerings to help employees find options that align with their health goals. The program extends to break room refreshments, where clear labels can identify choices such as Heart Smart, Carb Smart, Power Boost, Gluten Free, and Vegan.
By incorporating wellness into workplace dining, Des Moines employers can give team members more options without sacrificing convenience or flavor.
Workplace Dining Design and Layout Expertise
A successful dining program requires the right menu, service model, and physical setup. With our 45-years of experience, Apex can help current Des Moines clients develop a solution designed around their available space and workforce.
Full-Service Cafés Bring Fresh Dining Onsite
A full-service café brings restaurant-quality dining directly into the workplace. Depending on the location, Apex can incorporate features such as salad bars, grills, cafés, chef-prepared entrées, and other customized stations. Employees gain convenient access to fresh meals, while employers can offer a premium onsite amenity.
Branded Coffee Bars Create a Place to Connect
A branded coffee bar can create another gathering point in the workplace. With quality coffee, specialty beverages, and professional equipment, it provides employees with the café experience without requiring them to leave the property.
Hybrid Cafés Add Workplace Dining Flexibility
For workplaces needing greater flexibility, a hybrid café can combine staffed foodservice with self-service options. Pairing a café with a micro market, for example, extends access to fresh food, snacks, and beverages beyond traditional café hours.
The self-checkout technology of a micro market allows it to operate around the clock. Apex customizes each market and its product selection, including fresh and wellness-focused choices, to meet employee preferences.
Customized Solutions Backed by Decades of Experience
Apex has been enhancing workplace break rooms for more than 45 years. That experience has reinforced a simple principle: great service begins by listening.
Apex works with business partners to understand their location, employee population, space, and desired outcome before recommending a solution. Fully trained, professionally managed staff can then help deliver a polished workplace dining experience day after day.
Our current clients can easily add tailored catering for everything from board meetings to company events. It’s a great way to create a consistent foodservice experience throughout the workplace.
