Depending on environment, culture, habits, preferences, and practices, Sodexo offers a wide range of food choices to better meet client and consumer expectations and enhance overall satisfaction.
From micro-markets to smart vending machines, along with coffee and fresh products, these autonomous or partially autonomous food solutions complement the Group’s service offering and meet the needs of certain clients and consumers.
In the United States, InReach offers personalized and flexible food services that are available at any time and adapted to all workspaces. In this fast-growing market, especially in the United States, Sodexo continued its development with the acquisition of CRH Catering in November 2024. By partnering with one of the leading players in the convenience sector and one of the largest independent operators in the Mid-Atlantic region, Sodexo is expanding its presence on the East Coast. This will allow the company to broaden its multi-channel offering and accelerate strategic synergies between offsite production and convenience offerings. Over the past three years, Sodexo has developed an attractive offering and established itself as a major player in this market segment in the United States.
In Brazil, Sodexo is pursuing the rollout of 100% autonomous micro-markets – an innovative solution introduced to corporate and school clients within the Group. In just a few months, Sodexo has deployed almost 140 stores at its clients’ sites, reaching a high level of consumer satisfaction.
Simultaneously, Sodexo is expanding its innovative on-campus dining experience, Food Hive, across U.S. universities. It provides students with a wide variety of hot and cold dishes, while also meeting their dietary and daily needs. Designed to foster a sense of community and deliver a seamless experience, Food Hive relies on modern organization and technology, including self-service checkouts.
And because Sodexo is committed to promoting healthy eating, the Group is offering consumers in the UK and in Ireland a new approach to their snack breaks at work. Developed by Sodexo's nutrition experts, Smart Choice labels encourage consumers to make healthy choices (low in fat, sugar, salt, or saturated fat) with additional information available via the Everyday app.
