Attractive Labels Simplify Making Informed Decisions

Fitpick Machine

Whether opting for a fully branded machine or incorporating healthier options into existing ones, FitPick® stands out effortlessly in Clearwater’s competitive hospitality and healthcare sectors.

Fit Pick® employs eye-catching stickers to mark the vending machine slots filled with Fit Pick® approved snacks, a system particularly valuable in Clearwater’s bustling tourism corridors—from Clearwater Beach to the Cleveland Street District—where both service workers and visitors demand transparent nutrition information at a glance. More prominent clings and stickers offer detailed insights into the Fit Pick™ nutritional standards that resonate with health-conscious employees and guests throughout the region.

Fit Pick® labels distinguish between two sets of nutritional guidelines. The most popular adult criteria is the 35-10-35 standard (max 35% calories from fat, max 10% from saturated fat, and max 35% product weight from sugar). Additionally, Fit Pick® provides labels for items meeting The Alliance for a Healthier Generation’s Competitive Foods Guidelines, standards increasingly embraced by Clearwater’s healthcare employers like BayCare and hospitality properties seeking to support wellness initiatives.

Fit Pick®’s consistent labeling system is recognized across communities, counties, and states nationwide, enabling healthcare facilities, hotels, and corporate offices throughout Clearwater and across the Tampa Bay region to implement the same program seamlessly.

Our aim is to supply straightforward yet crucial nutritional information at the point of sale, empowering Clearwater’s diverse workforce—from seasonal tourism employees to year-round professionals in professional services and real estate—to make healthier snack choices informed by clear, “better for you” guidelines.

Health & Wellness Program

The FitPick® program recognizes the importance of functional foods,
acknowledging that snacks are often equivalent to meals.

VendVue is revolutionizing workplace vending across Clearwater by dedicating ourselves to comprehensively understanding our clients’ wellness goals and needs, particularly among the seasonal hospitality workforce and service-industry professionals who dominate our local economy. While traditional vending machines offer up to 45 diverse products, including popular “pleasure foods” like candy bars, chips, and soft drinks, the reality of Clearwater’s tourism-driven marketplace—where employees at properties along the Gulf-to-Bay Boulevard corridor, Clearwater Beach hospitality centers, and the Cleveland Street District entertainment venues work demanding shifts—demands healthier snacking alternatives that support sustained energy and wellness. This shift towards health consciousness among consumers and organizations, especially critical for Clearwater’s growing healthcare sector anchored by BayCare and Morton Plant Hospital, has inspired us to offer tailored solutions that recognize the unique nutritional needs of our community’s diverse workforce. We’re delighted to collaborate with our clients throughout Downtown Clearwater, the Mandalay Avenue business district, and hospitality hotspots near Pier 60 and Coachman Park through the personalized Fit Pick® program, catering to their wellness requirements with a variety of healthy alternatives.

Here are the Top Ten Smart Snacking Tips to keep you energized and satisfied all day:

  1. Regular Snacking: In Clearwater’s fast-paced hospitality and tourism sector, where service workers often juggle multiple shifts across Clearwater Beach and the downtown entertainment districts, frequent snacking helps maintain energy levels throughout demanding workdays.
  2. Fiber and Protein Focus: Healthcare professionals at BayCare and Morton Plant Hospital, along with marine sciences staff at the Clearwater Marine Aquarium, benefit from cereal or granola bars packed with protein and fiber to sustain focus during long shifts.
  3. Healthy Crunch: Beat the afternoon slump common among seasonal workers and tourism employees with low-fat, low-calorie options like pretzels or baked chips available in vending machines throughout the Gulf-to-Bay Boulevard corridor and Mandalay Avenue business district.
  4. Nutrient-Rich Choices: Whether you’re working a restaurant shift in the Cleveland Street District or managing properties across Island Estates and Belleair Bluffs, pre-packaged fruits, vegetables, and salads offer the convenience and nutrition needed to power through your day.
  5. Protein and Calcium: Clearwater’s year-round workforce, including international visitors and seasonal employees, finds quick strength in low-fat milk or yogurt options stocked in workplace vending machines.
  6. Moderate Sweet Treats: With Clearwater’s robust food service and hospitality economy, you can enjoy sweet treats in moderation without completely cutting them out.
  7. Smart Cookie Alternatives: Professional services workers and real estate teams across Clearwater reach for lower-fat options like animal crackers, fig bars, pop tarts, or graham crackers, pairing them with low-fat milk for added protein during their workday.
  8. Nuts for Nuts: From retail employees near Coachman Park to financial services professionals, a pack of peanuts, almonds, or your favorite nuts delivers the protein and fiber blend that keeps you alert.
  9. Stay Hydrated: In Clearwater’s warm climate where outdoor workers at Pier 60 and the Clearwater Beach Marina stay on their feet, thirst is often mistaken for hunger—keep water accessible at all times.
  10. Balanced Snacking: For Clearwater’s diverse workforce spanning healthcare, hospitality, marine sciences, and professional services, variety, balance, and moderation create the foundation for smart snacking.
