Developing Cross-Segment Apps

From SoHappy@school to SoHappy@work

The launch of the SoHappy app for School food services and its adaptation to the Corporate segment illustrates Sodexo’s ability to apply its offerings and share costs across its segments. To meet the increased demands of consumers for on-site foodservices and enrich their experience, Sodexo is developing apps that offer menu, calorie and allergen information. New features such as click and collect or click and deliver improve ease of use. Launched in France in September 2016, SoHappy@school was the first mobile app for school foodservices. It enables families to use their smartphone to directly consult the menu at their children’s school, pay their cafeteria bill, find recipe ideas for the evening and benefit from daily information. Deployed today in over 2,500 schools around the world, SoHappy has been adapted for corporate employees using the same technical platform. The result is SoHappy@work, providing employees with menus, news, frequency levels at their corporate restaurant as well as the ability to pay with their rechargeable badge. The app’s new features transform it into a true quality of life platform, integrating Sodexo’s partners such as FoodChéri delivery services and Neo- Nomade for managing meeting rooms and access to shared work spaces.
