On most warehouse, manufacturing and care floors, there is a group of people for whom the offer in the corridor is only half usable. It is rarely mentioned: people bring their own, buy outside or skip it. Including halal in the range does not change the cost of the fridge, and only then can the whole team take something from it.
Anyone who does not eat pork, or wants meat slaughtered in a particular way, looks at an ordinary vending machine and sees most of it fall away. What is left is crisps, biscuits and fizzy drinks, exactly the offer you wanted to move away from.
You rarely hear complaints about it. Those people simply do not use the facility, bring their own or drive off. In the figures it does not show up as dissatisfaction, only as a fridge that sells less than expected. On sites with lots of outsiders, agency staff or shift work, it is almost always a factor.
A fridge in which every product stays sealed and visible with its label, so people can read what they take before they take it. Sales per product, so you see whether the halal share is actually used.
We are not a certification body and do not present ourselves as one. Certification belongs to the producer of the meal. Whoever stocks the fridge chooses the suppliers and should ask for their certificates.
A separate shelf or zone if that suits your organisation better, and an adjusted mix in periods when mealtimes shift.
We make no statements about religious rules themselves. What the fridge does is make sure people can see on the pack what they are taking, without having to ask a colleague.
How big the halal share is depends on your workforce. Do not start with two token products.
Everything packed and recognisable, next to the ordinary range. A separate zone is possible but rarely needed.
If mealtimes shift in certain periods, a fridge open day and night is often the only offer at those hours.
Within the halal share too, keep what sells and replace what sits. After a while, the fridge holds what your team actually takes.
Including halal, kosher or vegan does not change the price of the fridge. What the fridge costs depends on the option and the number of people; see the cost factors.
No. Certification belongs to whoever prepares the product, not to whoever makes the fridge. When you or your caterer stock the fridge, ask your suppliers for their halal certificate. What the fridge guarantees is that every product stays sealed and clearly labelled on the shelf.
From the pack, not from a sticker on the fridge. Each halal product is marked as such on its own pack and stays sealed until the user opens it. That is why a chilled fridge with packed meals works better here than a buffet or a platter. Everyone reads for themselves what they take, without having to ask.
In practice, no. The products are individually packed and do not touch each other, so one fridge with a clearly labelled halal range next to the rest is enough on most sites. If it is more sensitive in your organisation, a separate zone or shelf in the fridge is possible. Agree that up front.
Mealtimes then shift to before dawn and after sunset, exactly the hours when a canteen or sandwich service is closed. A fridge accessible day and night is often the only offer on site during that period. The mix can be adjusted too, with portions that are realistic at those hours.
Yes. Kosher works like halal: products come from producers under recognised kosher supervision, the mark is on the pack and the supplier can show the certificate. Vegan products are marked as such on the pack. Everything stays individually sealed, so halal, kosher, vegan and the ordinary range can sit side by side in one fridge.
No. On any mixed floor, whether in logistics, manufacturing, care or student housing, there is usually a group for whom the ordinary offer is only half usable. Usually nobody says anything; people bring their own or skip it. Including halal, kosher, vegetarian and vegan does not change the price of the fridge, and then the whole team can use it.
Eight short questions about your site, including the number of people and the hours. At step 6 you indicate whether halal, kosher or vegan should be in the range. We will call you back with a proposal the whole team can use.
