Put in individually wrapped snacks from four groups: savoury, sweet, lighter options and a few treats. A starting split is 40% savoury, 20% sweet, 30% lighter and 10% treats. Label vegetarian, vegan, Jain-friendly and nut-free items clearly, and skip snacks that are messy or smell strongly at a desk.

Five per person per week is a sound starting point, about one per working day. A team of 10 needs roughly 50 snacks a week. Count the people who actually come in, then review after four weeks. If shelves empty early in the week, order more. If snacks pile up, order fewer.

Monthly cost per employee is snacks per week × price per snack × 4.33. At five snacks a week, every ₹10 on a snack’s price adds about ₹217 per person per month. One UK seller prices its premium box about 60% above its standard box per snack. Ask vendors for written quotes.

Often, yes. One UK seller charges less per snack for its 100-snack box than for its 50-snack box. Pack size, brands and delivery terms all change the maths, so compare quotes per snack rather than per box, and check whether GST and delivery are included in the price.

Ask your team in a quick poll, then stock clearly labelled vegetarian, vegan, Jain-friendly and nut-free options in separate sections. Choose single-serve packs so the label travels with the snack. People with serious allergies should always read the pack label, because no nuts as a main ingredient is not the same as nut-safe.
