Feeding America's Workforce: Manufacturing / Trade Worker

FEEDING AMERICA’S WORKFORCE MANUFACTURING / TRADE WORKER LOOKBOOK

MANUFACTURING

AND TRADE WORKERS

At Eurest, we understand that every client and setting is unique, and we take pride in tailoring our services to meet the distinct needs of our clients. One of our distinctive client groups is in manufacturing and trade worker facilities, where we serve dynamic and industrious workforces.

These workers typically have a short 30-minute window for their meal breaks, and we've tailored our services to accommodate the specific demands of manufacturing settings. The work at these locations is fast-paced, so we offer quick service options along with a variety of competitively priced comfort-style foods to suit our clients' diverse preferences.

Depending on our clients' requirements, we can open as early as 5:00 a.m. to serve the 1st shift and provide meal options up until 4 a.m. for those working the 3rd shift. Knowing when these break times occur is crucial, and we make it our priority to ensure our guests are well-fed and satisfied.

Breakfast time is particularly busy as workers prepare for their workday. They love our grab-and-go breakfast sandwiches, made-to-order omelets, and other grill items packed with flavor. When it's lunchtime, our grill, entrée, and deli stations are the go-to choices. And for our third shift workers, they can't get enough of our grill, deli, pizza, and grab & go salads. But our menus aren't limited to those on the production line. Many of our manufacturing clients also have office workers on-site with different tastes and work schedules. We're prepared to cater to this diversity, offering popular Eurest brands like Piccola Italia, Nice Thai, and Pico Mesa to satisfy a wide variety of palates.

Our customizable service model makes Eurest the ideal choice for your dining needs. We're here to make sure that every employee, from those on the line to those in the office, gets a meal that suits their unique preferences and schedules.

Entrée Station: This station offers daily menu changes, featuring restaurant-style foods from around the world. Some entrees are served scoop and serve style, while others are prepared exhibition-style, including options like stir fry and pasta.

First shifts commonly commence early, around 5 or 6 am, with limited lunch breaks from 11 am to 12:30 pm, allowing only 30 minutes for a dining break, emphasizing the need for rapid service.

As for office attendance, the client typically requires employees to be in the office on weekdays, with a majority attending on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday.

The pricing structure reveals that most accounts offer subsidized breakfast and lunch, with snacks typically priced at market value. While a range of options are available for free, partially subsidized, or market value pricing, food trucks and social events tend to be more often market value offerings.

MARKETS IN MANUFACTURING RETAIL SPACES AND 24/7 RETAIL MARKET OPTIONS

RETAIL MARKETS AND THE BENEFITS OF GRAB-AND-GO ITEMS Some manufacturing and trade worker settings operate 24/7 retail markets as part of their foodservice offerings. Retail market spaces in general, play a crucial role in providing employees with convenient and accessible food options around the clock.

One key feature of these retail markets is the availability of grab-and-go items, which offer several benefits: Accessibility: 24/7 retail markets ensure employees on various shifts have access to food and beverages whenever they need them, regardless of the time of day or night.

Convenience: Grab-and-go items are pre-packaged and ready for immediate consumption. This convenience is particularly valuable for employees with limited break times.

Variety: Retail markets typically offer a wide variety of grab-and-go items that include pre-packaged sandwiches, salads, wraps, fruit, yogurt, snacks, and beverages, catering to different tastes and dietary preferences.

Hot Options: Hot grab-and-go options provide the advantage of quick access to freshly prepared, warm meals, ensuring employees can enjoy a satisfying and hot meal even during tight breaks or unconventional hours.

Quick Service: Market items eliminate the need to wait for food preparation, reducing the time spent away from the workstation during breaks.

Employees can swiftly make their selections and return to work.

Variety of Brands: Retail markets often offer a range of recognizable brand-name grab-and-go items, giving employees access to familiar products they may prefer.

Reduced Overhead: These markets can be cost-effective to operate, as they require less staff for food preparation and service compared to full-service dining areas.

LOOKING AHEAD: THE FUTURE OF MANUFACTURING / TRADE WORKERS

As we navigate the evolving landscape of manufacturing and trade worker settings, the future holds promising shifts in demographics, with an emphasis in pay grade, diversity, ethnicity, gender, and age. This transformation aligns with the demand for value and quality in food, with a noticeable rise in the preference of Food with Purpose options.

With the rise of Gen Z in the workforce, there is a surge in the demand for meals crafted from seasonal, non-GMO, and organic ingredients, as well as locally-sourced produce. This generation's commitment to sustainability and ethical food sourcing is reshaping the culinary landscape, emphasizing a conscientious approach toward health and well-being that aligns with their values and expectations for responsible and environmentally conscious dining experiences.

Employees are increasingly seeking meals that go beyond mere sustenance, focusing on nutritional value and mindful consumption. This shift is evident in the demand for more protein-packed selections, catering to the need for sustained energy throughout demanding shifts. Additionally, there's a growing inclination towards options with reduced sodium and sugar content, showcasing a commitment to healthier dietary choices. As we move forward, our commitment to our Food with Purpose program ensures that every meal not only fuels the workforce but also contributes to their overall health and vitality.

To anticipate and address these changes, ongoing surveys and data analyses, spearheaded by professionals like Elev8 and E15, ensure our services continually align with the evolving needs of employees and clients alike. By drawing insights from experiences at iconic manufacturing establishments, we glean valuable comments and scores that not only reinforce these demographic shifts but also serve as benchmarks for excellence.

The future of manufacturing and trade worker settings promises a dynamic and inclusive culinary experience, shaping a workplace dining environment that is both responsive and forward-thinking.
