Offering refreshments is ahhhh-cheivable

Regardless if you're cramped or you have counter space to spare, you can take your veterinary reception and waiting area to the next level by offering your clients something to eat or drink while they wait. Your clients will appreciate the welcoming touch, especially if they have a long-term wait. Not sure where to start? Here are some of our favorite spaces used for serving beverages and snacks to those waiting.
