Health & Wellness Program

The FitPick® program recognizes that wellness matters in a city where hospitality workers, restaurant staff, and convention center employees often work long shifts demanding sustained energy and nutrition.
In New Orleans’ vibrant service economy—spanning the French Quarter’s bustling bars, the CBD’s office towers, and the Warehouse District’s creative venues—snacks frequently serve as essential meals for workers between shifts.

VendVue is revolutionizing workplace vending by dedicating ourselves to comprehensively understanding our clients’ wellness goals and the unique demands of New Orleans’ diverse workforce. While traditional vending machines offer up to 45 diverse products, including popular “pleasure foods” like candy bars, chips, and soft drinks, there’s a rising demand for healthier options that align with how New Orleans professionals and service industry workers actually fuel their days. This shift towards health consciousness among consumers and organizations has inspired us to offer tailored solutions specifically suited to the city’s fast-paced hospitality, healthcare, and maritime sectors. We’re delighted to collaborate with our clients throughout New Orleans—from Uptown corporate offices to Ernest N. Morial Convention Center venues to Mid-City medical facilities—through the personalized FitPick® program, catering to their wellness requirements with a variety of healthy alternatives.

Here are the Top Ten Smart Snacking Tips to keep you energized and satisfied all day:

  1. Regular Snacking: Whether you’re working a shift at the Port of New Orleans, managing a restaurant in the French Quarter, or staffing a hotel in the CBD, refuel your body with snacks several times a day to stay energized and focused through demanding hospitality and maritime schedules.
  2. Fiber and Protein Focus: Healthcare professionals at major medical centers and port workers who face physically demanding days benefit most from cereal or granola bars with protein and fiber for longer-lasting fullness and sustained energy.
  3. Healthy Crunch: Satisfy mid-day cravings with low-fat, low-calorie options like pretzels or baked chips—perfect for quick breaks between service rushes in our busy restaurant and entertainment districts.
  4. Nutrient-Rich Choices: Choose pre-packaged fruits, vegetables, and salads for their high nutritional value, convenience, and great taste—ideal for office workers throughout the Warehouse District and Uptown who need quick, wholesome midday meals.
  5. Protein and Calcium: For a healthy boost, grab low-fat milk or yogurt, especially during the festival season when service industry workers juggle extended hours across the city.
  6. Moderate Sweet Treats: Enjoy sweet treats in moderation without completely cutting them out—particularly useful for film and television production crews working long location shoots in the Marigny and Magazine Street corridors.
  7. Smart Cookie Alternatives: Animal crackers, fig bars, pop tarts, or graham crackers are lower-fat cookie options that pair well with low-fat milk for added protein, perfect for hotel and casino workers needing energy boosts between shifts.
  8. Nuts for Nuts: Pick a pack of peanuts, almonds, or your favorite nuts for a blend of protein and fiber—a smart choice for higher education staff and oil and gas industry professionals throughout the metropolitan area.
  9. Stay Hydrated: Sometimes thirst is mistaken for hunger, so keep water close at hand, especially during New Orleans’ warm, humid climate and the city’s year-round event calendar.
  10. Balanced Snacking: Remember, variety, balance, and moderation are key to smart snacking—whether you’re navigating the bustling atmosphere near the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center or grabbing a quick bite in Carrollton.
