Sofra Yemek Uretim Ve Hizmet

What Sofra Yemek Uretim Ve Hizmet does

Sofra Yemek Uretim Ve Hizmet A.S. (Sofra Grup) is the Turkish operating subsidiary of Compass Group PLC, the world's largest food and support services company. Founded in 1987 and headquartered in Istanbul, the company provides outsourced, on-site B2B catering and support services to enterprises and institutions across all 81 Turkish provinces. Its core product is contract meal preparation and delivery (Yemek Hizmetleri), supplemented by support services (Destek Hizmetleri) covering facility management, cleaning, security, and maintenance. Services are organized under sub-brands including Eurest (business/industrial, healthcare, education), Obasan, Turkaş, Eurest Services, and Euroserve Güvenlik.

The company's operational technology centers on specialized hospital patient meal management software that uses handheld terminals to match meals to patient dietary requirements and disease conditions, plus food waste measurement systems deployed across facilities to support Compass Group's global food waste reduction targets. Production capacity reaches approximately 350 million meals annually in Turkey, delivered through roughly 4,000 client locations. The technology stack is therefore principally operational/logistics-focused rather than software-product-focused, with IT serving as workflow and safety infrastructure inside the catering business.

The business model is managed services / outsourced catering, sold through enterprise field sales and direct tender processes for institutional contracts. Revenue is generated per-meal or under bundled multi-service contracts negotiated individually with large enterprise, healthcare, and education clients. The company does not publish pricing; contracts are customized to facility type, scope, and location. Sofra leverages Compass Group's global brand (Fortune Global 500 for 19 consecutive years) and procurement scale to win and retain large institutional accounts.
