Why leaders choose the fridge.

All the upside of an on-site cafeteria, with none of the staffing, prep, or daily coordination.

Tap, grab, go

No app to download and no account to create. Employees tap a card or badge, take a meal, and the door locks behind them.

Pay only for what you take

Each meal is charged as it leaves the fridge. No trays of wasted food and no flat fee for meals nobody ate.

Nutrition & ingredients labeled

Every meal shows what’s inside, calories, macros, and dietary tags, so your team can grab with confidence.

Receipts emailed

Every purchase sends an itemized receipt to the employee, which keeps expensing and reimbursement clean.

Fully managed for you

We deliver, install, stock, rotate the menu, and handle service. Your team just provides an outlet and a little floor space.

Open on every shift

Day, night, and weekend. The fridge is there when the cafeteria is closed and the nearest lunch spot is a drive away.

Three ways to subsidize for your team.

You decide how much of each meal you cover for your team, from a small share to fully comped. We handle billing on the back end.

Model 01

Percentage discount

The employer covers a flat percentage of every meal. The employee pays the rest at the fridge.

  • Simple, predictable employer spend
  • Employees pay only the discounted amount
  • The most common starting model
Example: employer covers 50% of every meal
Model 03

Time-based

Free meals during specific shift hours, discounted or paid outside them. Built for 24/7 operations.

  • Targets night shifts, weekends, or specific roles
  • Reduces vending-machine spend
  • Customizable hour ranges
Example: free during the overnight shift

From install to meal magic.

A fully managed program. You provide a wall outlet and a little floor space; we handle the rest.

Smart Fridge questions

How does the Smart Fridge program work? +
My Healthy Penguin installs a fully managed smart fridge at your location and stocks it weekly with fresh, ready-to-eat meals. Employees can view available meals on the screen, tap their card or phone to unlock the fridge, choose what they want, and go. We handle stocking, product rotation, and ongoing management of the program.
What size workplace is a good fit for a Smart Fridge? +
We typically recommend the Smart Fridge program for workplaces with 100+ on-site employees. It is especially valuable for offices, hospitals, public agencies, warehouses, campuses, residential communities, and teams with early, late, or mixed shifts. During a discovery call, we review your location, headcount, schedule, and expected usage to determine whether the program is the right fit.
What meals are available, and can we customize the menu? +
Our Smart Fridges are stocked from My Healthy Penguin’s rotating weekly menu calendar. The rotation provides variety throughout the month, giving employees different meals to choose from while bringing back familiar favorites over time. To keep quality consistent and the program reliable, we manage the menu selection rather than building custom menus for each workplace.
How do employees pay for meals, and can our company subsidize them? +

Employees can purchase meals directly at the fridge using a credit card, debit card, or mobile wallet. Employers may also choose to subsidize part or all of the meal cost as an employee benefit.

Subsidies can be structured in several ways. Your company can cover a percentage of every meal, provide employees with a monthly meal credit, or cover meals during specific shifts or hours. We help determine the best structure for your team and handle billing on the back end.

How often is the fridge stocked, and what happens if meals sell out? +
We stock each Smart Fridge weekly and monitor purchasing patterns to understand what your employees are actually buying. If meals consistently sell out or demand outgrows the available space, we can discuss adding a second fridge or an additional weekly stocking day to better support your team.
What if no one uses it? +
We do not install the fridge and leave you to figure it out. Our team monitors usage, product selection, and purchasing patterns after launch. If participation stays lower than expected, we work with you to improve awareness, adjust the program, or determine whether a lighter food service option would be a better fit for your location.
What is required for installation, and how do we get started? +
The fridge requires an approved placement area and access to a standard electrical outlet. It uses cellular connectivity, so workplace Wi-Fi is not required. Smart Fridge programs do include a cost, which is discussed during a discovery call based on your location and program needs. Once we confirm the right fit, our team coordinates installation, stocking, and launch support.
