Sodexo's Kitchen Works restaurant caters for busy hospital staff with its ‘pre-ordering' and ‘click and collect' food service that can be ordered via an app or the in-restaurant kiosks.

Philip Leigh, chief executive of Sodexo Health & Care, said: ‘The new digital Kitchen Works restaurant has been designed to give time back to people and to drive efficiencies for our hospital clients, their workforce and their users. Whilst time is of the essence, the food is high quality and the range extensive. Kitchen Works enables us to deliver on our promise of "good food made easy".'

The new restaurant features different seating options from breakout areas and soft seating, larger community tables for teams/families and traditional restaurant-style tables. It also provides a 24/7 offer of ready meals, ‘grab-and-go' section with salad, soups, sandwiches, drinks and treats available around the clock.

Menus feature daily chef-created dishes, limited time offers, weekly theme days and events, local favourites and global flavours. There will also be regular street food pop-ups under Sodexo's Hawkers brand, with concepts, including Indian, Greek, Lebanese, Korean, South East Asian, Caribbean, Brazilian and African foods.

Hospital staff using the app benefit from staff discount, loyalty programme, exclusive offers and the ability to customise and save their order.
