Sodexho earns high marks in school

Menus, programs fuel growth in a wide open market.

It looks like a college cafeteria, from the snazzy signage and colorful merchandising to the exhibition cooking and the multiple meal options. Customers

move briskly through the servery, picking from a range of choices, from individually prepared hot entrees to pre-packaged grab-and-go salads, sandwiches and sides. The whole scene conveys a sense of excitement about food, and professionalism in the preparation and serving of it.

It could be a college cafeteria, except that it's a high school, North Olmsted High School near Cleveland, one of some 4,000 individual school sites managed by Sodexho School Services, the public school segment division of contract services giant Sodexho, Inc. The retail flair is thanks to the company's signature Crossroads Caf program for high schools. Similar, age-appropriate programs also exist for middle and primary school environments.
