Crafty Releases Q2 2026 Office Pantry Benchmarks, Showing How 750+ Offices Are Investing in Workplace Pantry Programs

Crafty Release Q2 Office Pantry Spend Benchmarks

CHICAGO, IL — August 5 — Crafty, the leading national provider of office pantry services, released its Q2 2026 Office Pantry Spend Benchmarks, a data-driven look at how pantry programs are evolving across the country.  

Powered by the newly launched Crafty Pantry Intelligence Index, the industry's first workplace pantry benchmarking dataset, the report examines how office pantry programs are evolving across markets, industries, food and beverage categories, and products. Analyzing data from more than 750 Crafty-powered office pantries nationwide, the report examines how organizations are responding to tighter budgets, AI-driven productivity gains, and increasing competition for specialized talent by building pantry programs that are more data-driven and performance-driven.

"Workplace leaders have never had access to this level of market intelligence," says Nathan Rosenstock, CEO and Co-Founder of Crafty. "The Pantry Intelligence Index gives organizations a clearer understanding of how their pantry programs compare to their peers, while the Q2 Benchmarks reveal the broader workplace, regional, and food and beverage trends shaping how leading organizations are managing pantry today"

Key Findings from the Q2 2026 Benchmarks

• Pantry spend remained steady at $15,325 per office per month, increasing less than 1% quarter over quarter as organizations balanced employee experience with financial discipline.
• More than 80% of organizations continued prioritizing optimization and budget discipline, while experience-driven pantry strategies grew 21% quarter over quarter as competition for talent intensified.
• Las Vegas, Dallas, Orlando, Chicago, and New York led the nation in pantry investment, reflecting the growing importance of workplace experience in competitive labor markets.
• Beverages captured a larger share of pantry budgets as warmer weather drove seasonal demand, while functional products continued gaining momentum across categories.

Organizations are moving from reactive to proactive pantry management, using richer data to optimize programs before issues surface rather than after.   The Q2 Benchmarks and Pantry Intelligence Index give workplace leaders the market context to identify new opportunities, validate decisions, and continuously improve the performance of their programs.

"The organizations getting the most from their pantry programs aren't making sweeping changes," Rosenstock added. "The biggest gains rarely come from completely reinventing a program. They come from identifying the right opportunities to make small, continuous improvements that compound over time."
