Snacks In Office.

Hi Smrin,
As suggested by Madam Asha Mathew, there could be two aspects of providing snacks to the emeployees in office. One - arranged by the employees contributing themselves (possible only for a small group/office) and another - from the company's side. In first case, you please consult your group members and choose among a variety of snacks available in market according to a decided budget of the contributers. In later case, it depends on the organization size and management policies. There a practice prevails to provide snacks at Tea Break(s) on the basis of pre-decided menu. Some options apart from suggested by the forum members - Boiled egg(s), Asorted/Bread Pakoras, Veg / non-veg Sandwich, Veg. Cutlets, Bread-Butter Toast, Bread Slices with marmalade/jelly/jam etc. may be considered.

pls note that if the snacks are to be sold then you will need to comply with shops and establishment act it think and cannot me charged more than MRP.
if snacks wil be cooked, you will need municiplity / factory act approvals it think.
If packed snacked to be given free , i am not sure if there will be an issue still.

HI Smrin
I think Sweets, chips,chocolates are good to keep if you are selling them, employees always look for something to snack on while working, i know i always do.....

Hi,
you can tie up with some sweet shop/bakery for some quantity of snacks/sweets/chat items,so that every day you can provide different items with same quantity with discount price.

You can provide Pastry, Tea cake or packed cake (Good Day cake), Samosa, Puff varieties, Chips, Cutlets, Spring rolls, Potato / Topioca chips, ground nut packs, fruit salads ( In some pazhamudir solai shops we can get fresh packs ), sandwich, Varieties of biscuits and for a change we can go for sweet & mixture, vada & bajji

In my view, first find out the budget for the snacks,working condition and nature of employees, based on that go for snacks, in my view snacks should be something healthy eating. There are many snacks which are contains protein, carbohydrates, minerals. It gives supplement energy. Eating bakery items will cause obesity because of oil and dalda.

Biscuits are the best. Have some of these stocks always. Dry fruits and nuts will also work out.. Get some dry fruits and nuts(alomond dry grapes, pista, cashew etc) and mix alltogther and store it in a air tight container. U can use it for a longer duration.

Hi we are planning a give healthy snacks for all employees in our office for weekly once. So I just want to draft a mail for sending to all employees. Can you help me on this.
