Aramark

Aramark and Home Chef introduce meal kits to 25 colleges.

The industry veteran has three decades of experience, previously led Aramark’s international food and support services.

Fresh meal service currently operates in three markets in competition with on-campus dining operations.

Here’s a small-site solution that is fiscally responsible while offering personalized chef service during the day and round-the-clock self-service and checkout.

The initiative in conjunction with vendor Ocean Hugger Foods is part of the company’s program to increase the number of plant-based meals it serves.

The initiative is being deployed among the company’s largest healthcare, college and corporate dining clients after a pilot at a dozen sites showed food waste reduction by nearly 50 percent.
