30 März 2021 - 02:00PM
Sodexo, a food service and facilities management company committed
to providing quality of life, announced a first-of-its-kind
partnership today with HelloFresh, the world’s leading meal kit
company, to offer delivery of HelloFresh and EveryPlate meal kits
to students at more than 300 U.S. colleges and universities.
Using Sodexo’s BiteU app, students can pre-select, order and
schedule meal kits for delivery. Whether students are vegetarian,
on a low-calorie diet, or looking for something quick and easy,
HelloFresh gives them the flexibility to select meals from an
extensive rotating weekly menu. EveryPlate offers an ever-changing
menu of simplistic, delicious, and affordable chef-curated recipes
with vegetarian and gourmet options. Meal kits arrive with fresh,
pre-measured ingredients, step-by-step instructions, and all the
necessary tools to get dinner together in 30 minutes or less.
Students have the option to cancel, change, or skip orders at any
time.
“Our campus dining program is focused on enabling choice and
convenience,” said Kevin Rettle, vice president, global offer
development and digital innovation, Sodexo Universities and
Schools. “Our partnership with HelloFresh allows us to expand our
resident dining experience and provide an affordable, family
meal-style option for students and customers.”
“We are excited to partner with Sodexo to bring both our
HelloFresh and EveryPlate brand meal kits to college campuses
across the country,” said Andreas Sossong, vice president,
strategic projects at HelloFresh US. “Busy students should have a
convenient, affordable way to enjoy delicious, homecooked meals
with high quality ingredients. We look forward to introducing this
unique cooking experience to students at additional campuses
throughout the year.”
Sodexo’s on-campus food and retail outlets are powered by its
BiteU app. Created internally by Sodexo’s technology and university
teams, the BiteU app connects back-end card systems to make meal
plans and payment options seamless and creates a safe, cashless
environment across campuses. Since launching, BiteU has been
deployed at 40 percent of Sodexo-serviced sites. It will achieve 80
percent deployment by August 2021.
