What Are Bonus Bucks?

COVID changed the business landscape.  Our BreaktimeU Founder, Patrick McMullan, lead two technology companies for over a decade being part of a successful exit in 2022.  During the pandemic, one company flourished while their breakroom technology business hit the proverbial pandemic wall as businesses were closed nationwide.  Patrick asked himself “what can we do that replicates our having a monopoly with our clients on one business and being pandemic-proof, with the breakroom business?”  

In every business, leaders provide services to retain their employees.  Patrick saw that they could only sell so many bags and bottles in the workplace through the breakroom.  However, they could apply one of his standing principles: “Always find ways to make uncommon things work together”.

In 2022, Patrick was in the process of the sale of their technology company and reached out to his favorite clients, Breakroom Choices, and said to Jon and Darren "I have a vision" and the vision was born.  Today, Jon, Darren and Patrick have formed a team to change an industry to be so much more than bags and bottles.  We want to be the center of your culture.  And so, the vision has grown.

Needs benefits?  Why not become licensed to offer benefits through an industry leader. Then, host a podcast where employees can learn in breaktime size segments, more about their second most expensive payment, their medical insurance.  Do that with benefits, learning, hiring and more. Deploy those services for companies you have breakrooms in.  Someone is earning money from this, why not us.  Then, pass some of that revenue on back to your client and/or end users to use as a reward program in the breakroom.     

We have also pivoted to reward market customers directly just like they would if they went to Starbucks.  Looking to buy a home?  Looking to get fit?  Looking to refinance?  Want to improve yourself in every aspect? Employees are paying for these services daily.  Why not bring them to the breakroom real estate we have, promote network companies, teach employees through the same breaktime podcast, and allow them to earn money directly from us.  They are paying someone, why not pay us and get rewarded for it.  

BreaktimeU is now in thousands of breakrooms daily.   Our network companies are not only great companies, they are providers who will uphold our relationship with you as your breakroom provider.  We trust our business with them.  We make break time, learning and earning  time.  

 We are in your breakroom, a place employees visit 2.5 times daily, 260 days a year.  Make it something where they can learn and earn and improve their life.  That was Patrick’s vision and the legacy he wants to leave.
