It’s 3 p.m. on a Monday, and your inbox is overflowing with emails. Your phone is ringing, and you have a pile of papers on your desk demanding your attention. That’s when one of your coworkers sticks their head into your office and says helpfully, “Hey, did you know that the break room is out of fruit?”
If trying to fit a grocery store run into your day makes your brain hurt, it might be time to enlist the help of an office fruit delivery service. That might sound intimidating, but it’s actually pretty simple! Here’s a quick rundown of how an office fruit delivery service works.
An office fruit delivery service is a company that delivers fresh fruit to the workplace for employee snacks and meals. It makes life easier for HR and office managers, because it takes the hassle of stocking the break room off their plates.
Every office fruit delivery service is a little bit different, but at The FruitGuys, we work directly with small farms and other produce vendors to source fresh, seasonal fruit. Then, we hand-pack it into boxes and deliver it to offices nationwide. Here’s how it works from the customer side.
Browse our office fruit mixes and choose the one(s) that fit your team best. If you’re looking for a mix of classic picks like apples, citrus, and bananas, for example, our Staples Mix might speak to you. If you want a wide variety of seasonal fruit from your region and beyond, go for the Harvest Mix! You can also add packaged snacks to round things out.
Choose your ideal box size and delivery frequency based on the size of your team. Most of our office fruit boxes come in four different sizes. Then pick weekly, biweekly, monthly, or one-time delivery—whatever works best for you.
Our drivers will deliver your fruit exactly where you want it, whether that’s a loading dock, reception desk, or all the way into the break room. You can count on it being fresh, high-quality, and ready to eat or ripen up at room temperature. If you choose our white-glove service, we’ll even unpack it directly into your fruit displays or baskets.
You can pause, swap, or change your delivery frequency easily with our flexible plans. Either make adjustments yourself online through your Account Dashboard, or reach out to customer service and they’ll update your order for you.
What comes in a typical office fruit delivery depends on the type of fruit box you choose. You’ll always get fresh fruit, but you can pick between familiar staples like apples, bananas, and citrus or a wide seasonal variety that might include peaches and plums in the summer and persimmons and grapes in the fall. At The FruitGuys, we rotate the varieties in our fruit mixes every week to follow the seasons and keep things fresh.
As a rule of thumb, start with two servings of fruit per employee per week. That means for an office of 100 workers, you’d order 200 servings (four large 50-serving boxes) of fruit weekly. You can easily adjust your order from there if you have leftovers or notice fruit running out between deliveries.

Office fruit delivery is a big time-saver for HR and office managers. You order once, and your break room stays stocked year-round! We’ve also heard from employees that they like having a variety of fruit in the break room that changes every week, so there’s always something new to try. Ultimately, having fruit on hand helps support healthier habits, makes the office feel welcoming, and makes your team feel appreciated.
