How to Choose the Best Office Fruit Box Subscription for You

An office fruit box subscription makes it easy to keep your break room stocked and your team healthy—but how do you decide which fruit box is the best fit for your budget? Here at The FruitGuys, we have a variety of different boxes to choose from, and they’re all available for one-time purchase or recurring (a.k.a. subscription) delivery.

4 Steps to Choosing the Best Office Fruit Box for You

In this guide, we’ll walk you through our most popular weekly office fruit box subscriptions, then share an easy way to compare their prices. By the end, you’ll know how to choose the best subscription option for your break room, kitchen, or micro market!

Step 1: Review Your Office Fruit Box Options

First things first: Check out your office fruit box options and see if one of them speaks to you. All of our mixes feature farm-fresh fruit that is hand-picked by our expert buyers. No matter the box, the fruits inside change with the seasons, and we source them as regionally as possible. That means an office in California will get a different Harvest Mix than an office in New York, for example, depending on what’s fresh and local.

Here’s a quick breakdown of our most popular mixes, including a price comparison. These mixes all come in multiple sizes, but we’re focusing on the popular large size (50 servings).

Harvest Mix

• Our widest variety of seasonal fruit, plus bananas
• May include heirloom, unique, and exotic bites
• Varieties change with the seasons, but bananas are always included

Large Conventional: $82 per box, or $1.64 per serving

Large Organic: $92 per box, or $1.84 per serving

Season’s Best Box

• Our most local and seasonal mix, highlighting what’s fresh near you
• Bananas aren’t included; seasonal fruits get the spotlight
• May include heirloom, unique, and exotic bites

Large Conventional: $87 per box, or $1.74 per serving

Large Organic: $96.50 per box, or $1.93 per serving

Staples Mix

• A mix of office go-tos: apples, citrus, and bananas
• Multiple varieties of apples and citrus that rotate to keep things fresh
• Occasionally includes a seasonal fruit surprise

Large Conventional: $72 per box, or $1.44 per serving

Large Organic: $82 per box, or $1.64 per serving

Step 2: Calculate Your Ideal Weekly Order

Once you’ve checked out your office fruit box options, we recommend using this simple formula to calculate your ideal order, starting with two servings per week.

• Office Workers x Weekly Servings per Person = Total Servings per Week

• E.g.: 100 workers x 2 servings per person = 200 servings per week

Step 3: Crunch the Subscription Box Numbers

Now that you’ve done some math, you can go back to your box options and figure out how many large boxes you’ll need to feed your team using this formula.

• Total Servings per Week ÷ Servings per Box = Number of Boxes per Week

• E.g.: 200 servings per week ÷ 50 servings per box = 4 boxes per week

The example of 50 servings per box is for a large box, but if you have a smaller team, you can explore other sizes like medium (25 servings) or small (16 servings) to find the right subscription order size for your workplace.

Step 4: Compare Your Prices

Last but not least, it’s time for a price comparison! We have one more simple formula to help you through this step.

• Number of Boxes per Week x Price per Box = Total Cost per Week

Here’s how you’d compare prices for three weekly office fruit box subscriptions: the conventional Harvest Mix, Season’s Best Box, and Staples Mix.

• Large Conventional Harvest Mix: 4 x $82 = $328 per week
• Large Conventional Season’s Best Box: 4 x $87 = $348 per week
• Large Conventional Staples Mix: 4 x $72 = $288 per week

And there you have it: a price comparison of weekly office fruit box subscriptions! Now, it’s up to you to consider the different fruits in each box and balance what your team would enjoy most with what fits in your budget.
