Sodexo, a global leader in food services and facilities management, has partnered with ART, a specialist in robotic technology, to launch an extensive network of robotic hot food kiosks across the United States. This initiative marks a significant advancement in the food service sector, leveraging cutting-edge technology to redefine convenience and quality in dining.

Starting March 26, 2024, the Just Baked Smart Bistro kiosks, developed by ART, will be available at various Sodexo-served client sites, including industries such as healthcare, education, and corporate settings. These state-of-the-art kiosks will offer an array of gourmet hot food options—from giant cinnamon rolls and White Castle Cheeseburger Slider 4-packs to bao buns and breakfast sandwiches—all prepared at the touch of a button.

Husein Kitabwalla, CEO of Tech & Services and Food Transformation at Sodexo North America, expressed his enthusiasm about the partnership, stating, "Our commitment to innovation is underscored by integrating ART’s Just Baked Technology into our services. This collaboration not only enhances our food offerings but also aligns with our goals of utilizing AI to push the boundaries of traditional food service."

Ben Porter, CEO of ART, highlighted the benefits of this collaboration, noting, "Partnering with Sodexo allows us to tap into a vast network of food service operations, bringing unparalleled convenience and sophisticated analytics that optimize operations and deliver exceptional food experiences around the clock."

The Just Baked Smart Bistro kiosks are designed with compact efficiency, offering a diverse menu that caters to various tastes and dietary preferences. By incorporating advanced analytics and machine learning, these kiosks streamline operations and ensure a consistent, high-quality dining experience for consumers.

This deployment is part of Sodexo's broader strategy to enhance its technological capabilities in food services, promising a new era of dining convenience that is accessible 24/7 across a wide range of venues, including colleges, hospitals, airports, and more.
