Sodexo takes wraps off One & All university campus dining experience with roll-out starting this month
Sodexo Campus is to transition university dining halls across the USA starting this month to feature its One & All offering, including Lee University in Cleveland, Tenn.; Curry College in Milton, Mass.; Northern Colorado in Greenley, Colo.; and New Mexico State University in Las Cruces, N.M.; among others with more than 50 dining halls in the bag by fall 2025 semester and 150 expected by fall 2026.
Sodexo’s recent research shows that 87% of students view on-campus dining as the number one way to connect, build community, and enhance their overall college experience. One & All is a new experience designed to transform each meal into a warm engaging experience where each student feels they belong.
“Dining is not just about nourishment - it’s where conversations spark, communities form and lifelong memories are created,” says Drew Nannis, Chief Marketing Officer of Sodexo Campus.
“Our teams on campus are in a unique position to drive that engagement. With One & All, we combine a wide variety of food choices with customisation in the dining environment to deliver a welcome and comfortable community experience. We bring together chefs who create fresh, flavorful meals every day, and spaces where there is something for all to create a genuine sense of belonging.”
2025 RTIH INNOVATION AWARDS
Dining experiences will be a key focus area at the 2025 RTIH Innovation Awards, organised by our sister title Retail Technology Innovation Hub.
The awards. which will open for entries in March, celebrate global tech innovation in a fast moving omnichannel world.
The 2024 hall of fame entrants were revealed during an event which took place at RIBA’s 66 Portland Place HQ in Central London on 21st November, and consisted of a drinks reception, three course meal, and awards ceremony presided over by comedian Lucy Porter.
In his welcome speech, Scott Thompson, Founder and Editor, RTIH, said: “The event is now into its sixth year and what a journey it has been. The awards started life as an online only affair during the Covid outbreak, before launching as a small scale in real life event and growing year on year to the point where we’re now selling out this fine, historic venue.”
He added: “Congratulations to all of our finalists. Many submissions did not make it through to the final stage, and getting to this point is no mean feat. Checkout-free stores, automated supply chains, immersive experiences, on-demand delivery, next generation loyalty offerings, inclusive retail, green technology. We’ve got all the cool stuff covered this evening.”
“But just importantly we’ve got lots of great examples of companies taking innovative tech and making it usable in everyday operations - resulting in more efficiency and profitability in all areas.”
Congratulations to the 2024 winners, and a big thank you to the sponsors, judging panel, the legend that is Lucy Porter, and all those who attended November's gathering.
