How the cadence works. Newsletter 1 is the warm-up — a single email sent in three escalating waves from Jun 25 to Jul 7, so the sending domain earns its reputation before reaching the full list. From mid-July the programme settles into a steady rhythm of two newsletters and two LinkedIn posts a month: emails go out on Tuesdays to the full active list, LinkedIn posts follow on Thursdays, and the two emails sit two weeks apart.
Why it is built this way: the gradual warm-up protects deliverability so emails land in the inbox, not spam. The two-week spacing means no contact is ever bombarded, which keeps unsubscribes low and engagement high across the whole six months.

One email, sent in three escalating waves to warm the sending domain before reaching the full list
Subject Line
🔑 Most companies think they have two options. They have three.
| Wave | Date | Contacts | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
Wave 1Batch 1 | Thu 25 Jun | 5,000 | ✓ Sent |
Wave 2Batch 2 | Tue 30 Jun | 10,000 | Scheduled |
Wave 3Batches 3 + 4 | Tue 7 Jul | 19,323 | Scheduled |
Wave 3 combines the original Batch 3 and Batch 4 into one final send, so the warm-up finishes a week earlier. By Jul 7 the full active list of 34,323 has received one clean send and the domain is warm. Wave 1 source: GR Operator List plus USG plus HubSpot. Waves 2 and 3: HubSpot.

For 20 years, you had two choices. Here’s the third.
For 20 years, most companies had two choices for their break room.
A national provider. Or a local operator with limited reach.
There’s a third option. One built on local operators, connected under national coverage. That’s Guardian Refresh.

Your break room is sending a message. Is it the right one?
Your break room is talking to your employees. Every single day.
The question is what it’s saying.
A stale machine in the corner says one thing. Fresh food, quality coffee, and a space that feels considered says something else.

They called Canteen. 7 days. No response. We called back in 30 minutes.
A Canteen location hadn’t responded to a service request in 7 days.
We had someone there by Friday morning.
That’s not luck. It’s the difference between a local operator who owns their reputation and a national company managing a quota.
