Fresh food for every shift on the dock and the floor.
Distribution runs around the clock, and your crew shouldn't have to leave the property to eat. Brown Bear puts smart coolers and micro-markets in your break room, stocked with real food, monitored remotely 24/7 and restocked by our restock team, at no cost to your site.
Breakroom services that keep up with a 24-hour operation
The old break room machine was built for chips. Pickers, drivers and loaders on long shifts need food that holds them: sandwiches, protein, fruit, cold drinks, something real at lunch and at 3 a.m. That's what we stock, and it's why crews stop driving off site on break.
Fresh food versus the junk food machine
If your break room has a machine like this, your crew already knows.
What your site and crew get
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.
Keep breaks on site and on time
When the nearest food is a drive away, a 30-minute break turns into 45. A stocked cooler or market in the break room keeps people on the property and back on the floor on time.
- Hearty sandwiches, wraps and ready-to-eat meals
- Protein snacks, jerky, nuts, yogurt and fruit
- Energy drinks, sports drinks, cold brew and water
- Breakfast items for early shifts

Questions warehouse and operations managers ask
Can you cover every shift, including overnight?
Yes. Smart coolers and micro-markets are open around the clock, and every unit is monitored remotely 24/7, so second and third shift find the same food as first.
Will it cut down on trips off site?
That's the idea. When real food is in the break room, fewer people leave the property on break, and breaks are less likely to run long.
Can you install without slowing down operations?
Yes. We schedule the install around your shifts and need only the break room and a standard outlet.
What about a large site with more than one break room?
We can put a unit in each break room, or a micro-market in the main one, and one team restocks all of them.
