Good coffee first, then a break room people actually use.
Brown Bear starts with office coffee service your team will notice, then adds fresh food and snacks with a smart cooler, or a full micro-market when you're ready. One local team runs all of it.
Beyond the snack machine: a break room people use
If you're replacing an old snack machine, start with what people use every day: coffee. We set up the machine, keep it stocked and keep it clean. Then we add what the old snack machine never had: fresh meals, better snacks and cold drinks your team picked, all tap-to-pay and all handled by us.
What's wrong with most office break rooms
Most offices we see live with some version of this.
What your office gets instead
A short QR survey before install, curated products after, and a request code on every unit.
People use it because it feels fair, not like an airport.
Our own restock team stocks every unit, before shelves run low.
We see what's selling and what's low, so the next visit brings the right things.
Card, Apple Pay and Google Pay. No coins to jam and no refunds for your staff to hand out.
We own the smart coolers and micro-markets and handle install, cleaning, repairs, payments and refunds.
Start with coffee, grow into a market
Most offices start with coffee and one AI smart cooler: fresh lunches, snacks and drinks in the footprint of a fridge. When the team grows or the break room gets busy, we add a micro-market with open shelves and more variety. Same team, same number to call.
- Coffee. Bean-to-cup or commercial machines, beans, cups and supplies.
- Fresh food. Salads, wraps, meals, yogurt and fruit in a smart cooler.
- Snacks. A lineup chosen by your team's survey, with a better-for-you row.
- The upgrade. A micro-market for bigger teams and busy break rooms.
Coffee, fresh food and the upgrade

What it costs your office

Office break room questions
Can you replace our current coffee setup?
Yes. Tell us what your team drinks now and how many cups a day, and we'll recommend a bean-to-cup or commercial machine and take over supplies, cleaning and service.
When does a micro-market make sense for an office?
When the team outgrows a coffee station and a snack drawer: more people, longer days, or a break room that could hold a small store. Many offices start with coffee and a smart cooler and add a market later.
Can you replace our old snack machine?
Yes. We can take over the spot where the old machine was and upgrade it to fresh food, snacks people picked and tap-to-pay.
Does HR or the office manager have to do anything?
No ordering, restocking or cleanup. We need a contact we can call and access to the break room. Everything else is on us.
