PHILADELPHIA, November 8, 2006 – ARAMARK Refreshment Services has been selected by Brulant, Inc. to offer refreshment services to its employees at its headquarters location in Beachwood, Ohio.
Brulant, one of the nation’s preeminent online solutions experts, works with mid-market and Fortune 2000 companies to ensure compelling customer experiences across multiple channels, including the web, call centers, stores, kiosks and other venues. With over 250 employees, Brulant was recently ranked by Advertising Age magazine as the 36th largest interactive firm in the country and the fourth largest in the Midwest. The company has approximately 150 employees at its headquarters.
“At Brulant, we foster an environment that is charged with energy, creativity, productivity and fun. Refreshments from ARAMARK are another key benefit we offer to help keep our employees excited and motivated throughout the day,” said Lisa Brolund, executive assistant for Brulant. “In addition, because all services are provided by a single vendor, administration of the program is both easy and cost effective – one bill, one point of contact, and a broad array of brands and options to choose from.”
RefreshmentsPlus: One Stop for a Better Break Room
ARAMARK is providing its signature RefreshmentsPlus program to Brulant’s employees. RefreshmentsPlus serves the complete needs of an office break room, including hot and cold beverages, water filtration, and vending machine service. Employees will enjoy a selection of hot beverages, including coffees and teas from Seattle’s Best, Flavia and Bigelow, as well as hot chocolate; and essentials such as creamers, sugars and paper goods.
Brulant has also adopted ARAMARK’s AquaMark® LX water filtration system, which uses a carbon-based filter to reduce lead, chemicals, sediments and cysts in drinking water, and uses an ultraviolet light to keep the water tank free of biofilm.
Brulant’s vending machines will incorporate ARAMARK’s Just4U™ for Vending, a program that offers healthier snacking alternatives to fit employees’ preferences, whether for options that are lower in fat, calories or carbohydrates.
“Brulant’s employees work hard and play hard, and value the ability to take a few minutes out of the day to recharge and refresh to maximize their productivity and creativity,” said Michael Oppenheim, executive vice president of ARAMARK Refreshment Services. “We are pleased to be part of the company’s commitment to being a great place to work.”
