Sodexo has launched FoodiE Cafe, a new concept geared toward middle school students. 

The new brand is centered around enjoyment, engagement and exploration, and will feature trending flavor profiles, convenient meals, sustainable alternatives and healthy options served quickly, according to the food management company.

Students will be able to pre-order meals through Sodexo’s SoHappy app, and the brand will also include social media integration and trending online resources for students. 

“From its flavor, to its format, to its function, middle schoolers understand food more now than ever before,” Stephen Dunmore, CEO of schools at Sodexo North America, said in a statement. “FoodiE Cafe helps middle schoolers explore global flavors, understand local products and enjoy all of their favorites while embracing health and wellness.”
