29 Oct Why Hybrid Cafes Are a Smart Choice for Your Workplace
A good lunch space can do more than feed your team. It can help them feel better, work better, and enjoy being at work. That’s why more companies are turning to Hybrid Cafes from Apex.
These cafes are designed to give your employees fresh, tasty food and easy access to snacks and drinks, all in one spot. Whether you’re in Kansas City, St. Louis, or anywhere in the Greater Midwest, Apex has a solution that fits your team and your space.
What Is a Hybrid Café?
A Hybrid Café gives your team the best of both worlds. It combines the quality of freshly prepared meals with the convenience of self-checkout. Each café features a staffed grill that prepares hot meals from scratch and offers a daily entrée special to add variety and excitement to the workday. Employees can also grab meals, snacks, or drinks quickly using the self-checkout area, making it easy to enjoy a break without wasting time.
Apex customizes every Hybrid Café to fit your space and your team’s size. Whether you have a small office or a large facility, the layout and offerings are designed to meet your needs. We build meals around high-quality ingredients and tailor them to different diets and food preferences, from hearty to health-conscious. With an on-site Chef Manager running the café, everything stays organized, consistent, and professional. From the front desk to the warehouse floor, your entire team will appreciate the fresh food, flexible service, and reliable experience that a Hybrid Café brings to the workplace.
Works Perfectly with Micro Markets
Hybrid Cafes are a perfect match with Apex Micro Markets, creating a well-rounded dining solution for the modern workplace. During peak hours, employees can enjoy freshly prepared meals from the café, including daily entrée specials and made-to-order grill items. When the café is closed, the Micro Market keeps things going by staying open all day and night with a wide variety of snacks, drinks, and heat-and-eat meals.
This setup works well for early morning crews, night shift workers, or anyone whose schedule falls outside of typical lunch hours. With easy-to-use self-checkout kiosks, employees can grab what they need and get back to work without waiting in line. It is flexible, convenient, and built to support every shift on your team.
Healthier Choices for Everyone
At Apex, health and wellness matter. That’s why we created the Better Choices for a Better You program. This helps employees find meals that match their health goals. We label everything—from heart-healthy items to plant-based meals—clearly and simply so it’s easy to understand. You can also add vending machines, office coffee, or a healthy pantry to support your team even more.
A Trusted, All-in-One Dining Solution for the Midwest
Hybrid Cafes give your team a premium dining experience without the high cost of a full cafeteria. Apex takes care of everything, including setup, staffing, and service, so your team can enjoy fresh meals with reliable support. Our white-glove approach means we handle every detail to keep your café running smoothly.
That same level of care is why businesses across Kansas City, St. Louis, and the Greater Midwest Region trust Apex to improve their break rooms.
