People working in the development zone(Wuhan East Lake High-Tech Development Zone) always complain:"Nearly every day, we get annoyed about having lunch. Few Companies in the development zone provide lunches to their own staffs; supporting service facilities in the surrounding areas are not well completed; top-grade restaurants are unaffordable; slap-bang shops are always crowded and have not air conditioning. Occasionally we go to the student canteens nearby (e.g. the canteen of the South China University of Technology) to fill our stomach; however, during rainy days or hot days, having lunch becomes a real pain.

Sodexo is a global leader in Food services and Facilities Management services. Sodexo is the only Fortune 500 company who provides logistics services. Canteen is commonly seen, but it is hard to imagine that staff canteens are runned by such a first-class standard company in the world. Sodexo has established over ten canteens in Wuhan. Except for some staff canteens which are exclusively designated for staffs of Sodexo’s clients, there are two cafeterias located separately in Optical Valley Innovation Square and Innovation Street – Innovation Centre Cafeteria and Innovation Street Cafeteria, where food hygiene & safety and nutritious work lunch are valued. They are open for all.
The open self-service cafeteria is designed as the centered square food-serving area surrounded by canteen seats. All the canteen staffs work with chef caps and masks. Stairs and tables are all made of multicolor plastics, and wiped very clean reflecting the sparkle from the ceiling spot lights. The air-conditioning also works well.
Silver fast-food plates are served at the entrance, and foods are served along the way. There are copious varieties of food served at each serving spot: cold dishes, vegetables, fish, meat, clay pot style food, soup and broth... Breakfast is a specialty in particular. Many staffs go to work ten minutes earlier to catch up the breakfast there. 6-8 Yuan is enough for a lunch, and 10 Yuan spending could make you eat very well.
