Touch 2 Order - Giving Patients More Control Over Their Meals

Published on : 11/25/21
  • Sodexo's new 'Touch 2 Order' patient food ordering app has now launched in selected sites throughout the region.

    What is Touch 2 Order?

    Touch 2 Order is an app-based patient food ordering system where in-patients are given the opportunity to choose their meals from a wide variety of options that are tailored specifically to their needs. For example, a patient being treated for diabetes will only be presented with meal options that are appropriate for their condition. The patient will also be able to see images and extra nutritional information about their choices, and will have the option to provide feedback about their experience.

    Anyone who has used popular food ordering apps at home will be familiar with the concept but Touch 2 Order is designed specifically with the in-patient in mind and tailored for their own individual needs.
