Sodexo’s New DRIVE Platform Streamlines Foodservice Operations

From hospital kitchens that cater to the varying nutritional needs of patients, to university dining halls that feed the busy student rush between classes, the job of a foodservice operations manager is fast-paced. Sodexo, world leader in Quality of Life Services managing operations at 9,000 client sites throughout North America, many of which include food services, is streamlining operations to improve client and customer satisfaction through its new DRIVE Platform.

This Isn’t Your Typical Food DRIVE

At Sodexo, we have been recognized and awarded for our efforts to end childhood hunger through the Stop Hunger Foundation. It is customary to see decorated cardboard boxes around the office collecting donations or volunteer teams organizing food drives.

These changes demonstrate Sodexo’s commitment to Quality of Life values both for our unit staff and for our consumers.
