Changing the Tune of Your Breakroom

If Dolly Parton’s “9 to 5” hits a little too close to home somedays, you’re not alone. Workdays can feel long, repetitive, and draining but having the right space to reset can change your whole workday. At Five Star, we believe your breakroom should do more than just house a microwave and a table. It should be a recharge zone, and yes... a place that might just help you feel like you’re “Walking on Sunshine.”

Research shows that even short, intentional breaks during the workday can:

1. Boost productivity
2. Lower stress levels
3. Improve employee satisfaction
4. Foster team connection

88% of employees and 91% of bosses said that they feel refreshed and reenergized after taking a break. (workforce.com)

But here’s the catch: not all breakrooms are created equal and a breakroom that feels like an afterthought eventually becomes one.

Jobs such as manufacturing plants, warehouses, and distribution centers where employees are physically active are the breakrooms that are most overlooked. Although they are crucial for supporting the well-being and productivity of construction crews by offering a respite from the demanding job site. A breakroom comprised of old seating and lighting doesn’t invite people to relax.

That’s why Five Star is on a mission to redefine the break experience. Turning everyday spaces into hubs filled with fresh snacks picked for your team, good coffee, and even better vibes. Imagine walking into your breakroom and its equipped with everything you need to start your day off on the right foot. Suddenly, the stress from that morning meeting doesn’t feel quite so heavy.

Curating a space that’s not only functional, but intentional, helps employees return to their desks feeling refreshed and refocused.

A study done by Staples found that 2.4 billion hours were lost in US worker productivity each year because employees would leave their offices for coffee and snack runs.

That’s exactly why a well-stocked, inviting breakroom matters.

At Five Star Breaktime Solutions, we’re here to help you reimagine your space one fresh snack, craft beverage, and perfectly timed playlist at a time. Let’s create a place your employees actually look forward to visiting.

Because the right break at the right time can change everything. Even your tune.
