What is an office pantry service?

An office pantry service is a recurring supply of drinks, snacks and small refreshments for a workplace, curated and restocked by a provider rather than managed internally. heycater!'s Pantry service is built on the same vetted network behind heycater!'s Meetings & Catering and heykantine! offering.

What is included in heycater!'s Pantry service?

  • Basic: coffee, tea and a core snack selection.
  • Medium: Basic plus a wider snack and drinks range, including healthier options.
  • Premium: the full range, including fresh fruit and premium brands.

London pricing in GBP is confirmed per request, as it depends on team size, tier and delivery schedule.

Pantry vs. ad hoc snack shopping

  • Admin time: Pantry needs none thanks to scheduled restocking. Ad hoc shopping takes regular, unplanned staff time.
  • Cost predictability: Pantry works with fixed per-person tiers. Ad hoc shopping is variable and hard to budget.
  • Minimum team size: Pantry from 30 employees. Ad hoc shopping has none.
  • Quality control: Pantry uses a vetted supplier network. Ad hoc shopping depends on what is in stock locally.
