There's no universal number for how many snacks an office goes through. It depends on how many people are in on a given day and how many of them actually take something. The simplest way to plan is a short formula, a small first order, and a recount after a month.
The formula
Pouches per month = people × office days per week × 4.33 × the share of people who take a pouch on a given day
The 4.33 is the average number of weeks in a month. The share is your guess for the first month. Once you've watched a pantry for four weeks, you'll replace it with a real number.
Then turn pouches into cases. Our cases hold 24 pouches, so divide by 24 and round up.
A worked example
Say you have 50 people in the office 3 days a week, and you expect about 3 in 10 of them to grab a pouch on any given day. That's 50 × 3 × 4.33 × 0.3 = 194.85, so plan on 195 pouches a month. 195 ÷ 24 = 8.1, which rounds up to 9 cases (216 pouches).
The 3-in-10 figure is only a starting assumption. Some offices will run higher and some much lower. Treat the first month as the measurement.
Starting estimates by team size
These use the same 3-in-10 assumption and 24-pouch cases.
| People | 3 office days a week | 5 office days a week |
|---|---|---|
| 10 | 39 pouches, 2 cases | 65 pouches, 3 cases |
| 25 | 98 pouches, 5 cases | 163 pouches, 7 cases |
| 50 | 195 pouches, 9 cases | 325 pouches, 14 cases |
| 100 | 390 pouches, 17 cases | 650 pouches, 28 cases |
Don't adjust these again for hybrid schedules. The office-days column already accounts for that.
One pouch is not one serving
Our 3.5 oz pouches hold about three servings each. Some people finish one at their desk, and plenty reseal it and come back later. That's part of why a share around 3 in 10 is a reasonable place to start rather than assuming everyone takes a pouch every day.
Shelf life and storage
Every Sivaro pouch has a one-year shelf life. That makes quarterly ordering realistic if you have room for it. Keep cases somewhere cool and dry, out of direct sun.
Orders are ready within one week, so you don't need a big safety stock. Reorder when you're down to about two weeks of supply.
Allergens and dietary needs
Be upfront with your team. All our nut flavors contain tree nuts. Everything Bagel and Za'atar Cashews also contain sesame, and Golden Toasted Coconut contains coconut and honey. Every product is made in a facility where wheat/gluten, soy, tree nuts, eggs, dairy, shellfish, peanuts and sesame are present.
Our three dried fruits (mango, pineapple and papaya) contain no nuts, so they're an option for people who avoid nuts. Check the facility statement above first.
Keep pouches in their original packaging so anyone can read the label. Decanting into jars loses that.
Picking a mix
Most offices do best with a mix of savory and sweet. Something like Smokey Almonds next to Dried Pineapple covers both. After the first month, look at what ran out first and shift the next order toward it.
Common questions
How many snacks does an employee eat per week?
It varies too much by office to give one number. Start with the formula above, then count what's left after four weeks.
Can we try a smaller order first?
Yes. Our 24-pouch trial case lets you pick how the pouches split across all eight flavors. Details are on the wholesale page.
