Crafty Revamps Pantry Budgeting Report

CHICAGO — Sept 8, 2025 —Crafty, the leading national provider of workplace food and beverage programs, today announced the launch of The Ultimate Guide to Office Pantry Budgeting, an updated version of its most popular resource for workplace teams. The guide provides new budget benchmarks, insights from the past year, and expanded strategies for tracking and reporting pantry spend in real-time.

First published in 2024, Crafty’s budgeting framework quickly became an essential tool for office managers, workplace strategists, and procurement and facilities leaders looking to optimize pantry programs without sacrificing employee experience. The 2025 edition builds on that success by incorporating the latest market data, usage patterns, and forecasting techniques to help companies adapt to evolving workplace dynamics.

“Too many pantry budgets are built in a vacuum, without the real numbers or benchmarks needed to keep them on track,” said Robin Cardoso, VP of Client Experience at Crafty. “This updated guide pulls back the curtain on how we help leading workplaces align spend with priorities, minimize waste, and forecast with confidence so teams can deliver high-quality experiences that last.”

With workplace attendance patterns in flux and market conditions shifting, pantry budgets require more agility than ever. The guide equips workplace teams to:

  • Build budgets that reflect current market expectations
  • Align spend with business priorities and culture goals
  • Forecast with confidence in volatile conditions
  • Use real-time reporting to stay ahead of overruns and inefficiencies

“A high-performing pantry isn’t about spending more; it’s about spending with precision,” said Cam Lawrence, CFO at Crafty. “The companies that will win are the ones treating their pantry like any other core business function: measured, managed, and aligned to outcomes.”
