Monthly pantry cost — by team size (Bangalore reference)

- 500+ people: ₹2.5-₹5 lakh/month
Split by category
- Beverages (tea, coffee, juice, water): 40-45%
- Snacks (biscuits, chips, chocolates): 25-30%
- Fresh fruits + dairy: 10-15%
- Disposables (cups, tissues, napkins): 8-10%

Hidden costs most budgets miss
- AMC on coffee vending + water dispenser: ₹2,000-₹5,000/month
- Emergency refills (3-5 per month): ₹500-₹2,000

Benchmark: ₹500-₹1,000/employee/month
That's the Bangalore standard for a well-stocked pantry. If you're paying significantly less, your pantry is probably under-stocked. If much more, you have leakage — expired stock, over-ordering, or vendor markup.
