If you’re ready to give the breakroom an upgrade, our office supply catalog has everything you need for keeping this area well-stocked and clean! Here are the top must-haves: 

Breakroom Supplies

Many employees make several trips to the breakroom each day. Because it’s such a popular space for chatting, lounging, or searching for snacks, office managers should make an effort to keep essential supplies on hand. Whether your office is large or small, there are a few supplies that most breakrooms need: 

• Paper towels 
• Paper cups, bowls, and plates 
• Beverage sleeves and lids 
• Wooden stir sticks 
• Resealable sandwich bags
• Facial tissue
• Sponges
• One-gallon storage bags

Breakroom Food

Keeping the breakroom stocked with tasty food and beverages is a must to keep employees happy and healthy. Although you may have already thought about options such as trail mix, cheese sticks, and other energizing snacks, some smaller items are also helpful to have in the common area. These food and beverage options are almost always appreciated: 

• Creamer canisters
• Alternative sweeteners, such as Splenda and Truvia
• Hot chocolate and sugar-free hot chocolate 
• Regular and sugar-free soft drinks
• Sparkling water 
• Salt and pepper shakers

Anyone who’s ever spent time in a breakroom knows how frustrating it is when the gathering space isn’t kept clean.

Be sure to order these essentials and keep an eye on inventory: 

• Hand soap 
• Dishwashing pods
• Liquid dish soap 
• Trash bags
• Windex spray 
• Disinfectant wipes
• Pot and pan brush
