When you picture a break room, images of toasters, coffee machines, fridges, and microwaves might come to mind. But did you know that break rooms aren't just about these appliances? They play a crucial role in allowing employees to recharge and improve productivity. According to Business News Daily, taking breaks can reduce workplace burnout by up to 59%. That's why maintaining a well-stocked, clean, and functional break room is essential. Stainless steel equipment can make a significant difference in achieving this goal.
In this article, we'll explore five stainless steel products that can seamlessly integrate into any break room while offering practical solutions. Let's dive in.
First up, **Worktables – The Backbone of Any Break Room**
Worktables are indispensable in any break room setting. They provide a space for employees to prepare and enjoy their meals or drinks. Most break room tables are made from cheaper materials like wood or plastic. By opting for a stainless steel worktable, you not only ensure durability but also give your break room a sleek, modern look. Cleaning and sanitizing these tables is a breeze—just a soft cloth, warm water, and mild soap will do the trick.
IMC offers several models tailored to meet different needs. For instance, Models #WT, #WTB, #WT1, and #FWT are excellent choices for break room applications. Model #WT is the standard worktable, available in either 14 or 16 gauge type 300 series stainless steel. Every part of the table is made of stainless steel, ensuring there are no galvanized or plastic components. Model #WTB adds a 6-inch high backsplash to protect walls from splashes, while Model #WT1 features a 1½ inch backsplash. If you're looking to fill gaps between equipment, Model #FWT, with its narrow profile, is a great option.
Next, let's talk about **Silverware Dispensers – Streamlining Utensil Management**
Having a designated spot for forks, knives, spoons, and spreaders is vital in keeping your break room organized. Silverware dispensers come in handy by providing separate cylinders (usually made of nylon or stainless steel) to keep your utensils tidy. Employees can easily grab what they need and get back to their tasks.
IMC’s Model #SD16H is a standout choice, crafted from 16-gauge type 300 series stainless steel. It includes 16 cylinder holes with a sloped top for easy access. Standard nylon cylinders are provided, but perforated stainless steel options are available upon request. This dispenser is also mounted on 5-inch casters, making it easy to move around. Take a look:

Moving on to **Hot/Cold Food Counters – Elevating Your Snack Game**
For larger break rooms, integrating a hot or cold food counter can significantly enhance the space. A healthy snack bar is another way to keep employees happy and energized throughout the day. Hot food counters are perfect for small snacks like mini-pizzas, sandwiches, or pretzels, while cold food counters can house items like fruit slices, salads, or veggies.
IMC recommends Models #SHF and #CFC for break room settings. Model #SHF is a hot food counter with individual controls and heated drop-in pans for both dry and wet foods. On the other hand, Model #CFC is a cold food counter with ice pans (2-6 available) and an undershelf for added storage. Here's a glimpse:

Don't forget about **Beverage Counters – Quenching Thirsts**
While water, coffee, and tea are staples in most break rooms, other sealed beverages can also be stored effectively using a beverage counter. These counters not only provide storage but also organize tools like strainers or stirrers, reducing clutter and enhancing efficiency.
IMC’s Model #BVC serves dual purposes as both a work surface and storage unit. It features a trough with slotted grating to handle spills and maintain cleanliness. Check it out:

Finally, **Waste Receptacles – Maintaining Cleanliness**
A clean break room is key to employee satisfaction and health. Traditional trash cans made of cheap materials often fail to withstand regular use. A stainless steel waste receptacle is a durable and stylish solution.
IMC’s Model #WRC-2 stands out with its two-part design—a top and inner cabinet with partitions to separate sections. It includes two plastic waste bins that fit snugly inside the base. Customizable sizes and waste openings make it adaptable to various needs. Here's a closer look:
