Strategic collaboration demonstrates a scalable model for modernizing workplace dining through mobile ordering and enterprise-grade barcode scanning
The collaboration supports Socket Mobile's continued expansion into enterprise workplace dining, where employers, foodservice operators, and hospitality providers are investing in mobile ordering and self-service technologies to improve operational efficiency, address labor challenges, and enhance the employee experience. By combining Orda's mobile ordering platform with Socket Mobile's S320 Contactless Barcode Scanner, the companies deliver a streamlined self-checkout solution that is designed to scale across corporate campuses, healthcare facilities, universities, stadiums, airports, and other high-volume foodservice environments.
The integrated solution enables employees and customers to browse menu items, place orders, and complete purchases through a simple self-checkout workflow that reduces friction while improving speed, accuracy, and convenience.
"Enterprise foodservice operators are rapidly adopting mobile technologies to improve efficiency while delivering a better customer experience," said David A.
The solution has been deployed in partnership with Great Performances, a corporate dining and hospitality provider serving organizations including Silverstein Properties and the Rockefeller Foundation. Within the Orda Express self-checkout experience, Socket Mobile's S320 provides the robust barcode scanning technology that enables guests to quickly scan items and complete their purchases. The S320 was selected for its compact design, reliable scanning performance, and straightforward API integration.
"Orda Express contributed to the premium hospitality experience we provide through our workplace dining programs," said Brandon Reichert, Director of Transformation and Technology at Great Performances. "The previous solution was complicated to set up and frustrating for the guests (clients). With Orda Express, we were able to customize the set up based on specific client needs, creating an easy to use, fast, and intuitive experience for our guests."
For Orda, the collaboration further validates its mobile-first ordering platform for enterprise foodservice organizations seeking to modernize workplace dining. Orda integrates with Square and has been chosen by more than 10,000 Square-based businesses, demonstrating the platform's established presence in the foodservice technology market. Together, the companies provide an end-to-end solution that enables foodservice operators to deploy mobile ordering and self-checkout technology across multiple locations with minimal disruption.
"The Socket Mobile team made the integration process easy, and the S320 gave us the reliable scanning experience we needed. Great Performances is a great example of how corporate catering is evolving," said Hilary Barr, COO at Orda. "Whether operators are managing corporate lunch catering, office catering, or company lunch catering programs, they need technology that makes the experience faster and easier for both guests and staff. By combining Orda's ordering and self-checkout platform with Socket Mobile's reliable S320 scanning technology, we're helping workplace dining operators modernize corporate catering while improving efficiency and creating a better guest experience."
The successful workplace dining deployments represent an important milestone and demonstrate the broader opportunity for enterprise foodservice. As employers continue investing in employee amenities and digital workplace experiences, the companies believe the integrated solution is well positioned to support deployments across corporate campuses, healthcare systems, universities, hospitality venues, sports and entertainment facilities, and other organizations seeking to improve the economics and efficiency of foodservice operations.
