Working with several suppliers Sodexo’s food and nutrition team has launched new food delivery models with the capacity to produce one million meals a week.
Sodexo chefs using seasonal ingredients from their suppliers create all the food options. A typical lunch includes a choice of sandwich, piece of fruit, snack and a drink.
Simon Knight, managing director of universities at Sodexo UK, said: “As our university partners face the ever-changing challenges to support students during lockdowns and quarantine periods, we are working harder than ever to ensure they have the best support to plan ahead and manage disruption.
“This new student offering is a reflection of how our teams and business can quickly adapt and develop services, creating bespoke lockdown solutions and bringing much needed improvements to the quality of life for isolating students.”
Sodexo eCheques can be purchased for set amounts and exchanged for an eVoucher. The digital vouchers can be used to pay for essential supplies at main supermarkets and retailers across the UK.
Sodexo’s concierge service, Circles, has also been adapted for student use giving them access to many day-to-day life services including personal shopping requests, travel arrangements and food boxes.
