Companies with multiple plants, locations, or dining facilities often face the same challenge: Each location has its own dining options, but employees, HR, and accounting want a unified solution—one account, one billing statement—regardless of where or from whom orders are placed. That’s exactly what sizzly ’s Marketplace solution offers: from the company’s perspective, one system, one platform—from the employee’s perspective, one account for everything.
More than Just Multiple Locations
sizzly ’s Marketplace solution goes beyond simply managing multiple company-owned locations: In addition to the company’s own cafeterias, plants, kiosks, or vending machines, external caterers and local food service providers can also be integrated—such as the bakery, butcher shop, or restaurant near the location. It’s not just about paying at the bakery around the corner with sizzly : These local partner often offer bulk orders and, in some cases, even deliveries for the company. One example is breakfast delivery with pre-ordered baked goods, such as sandwiches, for the entire team. Catering for meetings and workshops—such as appetizers or butter pretzels—can also be ordered through connected local partner . In these cases, billing through the appropriate cost center is even possible, so that costs are directly allocated to the correct budget. For employees, nothing changes regarding payment: Orders remain eligible for reimbursement—regardless of the chosen provider, provided the company offers this option—and can still be paid for via payroll, in-app credit, or digital payment methods.
Example: Companies with multiple plants
A company with locations in several cities operates its own cafeteria and beverage and coffee vending machines at each facility—until now, often using different, unconnected systems. With the Marketplace solution from sizzly , all locations are consolidated into a single account: Employees use the same login, regardless of which facility they’re ordering from, and billing is handled uniformly for all locations through payroll. If an employee changes locations permanently or temporarily—for example, because they are assigned to a different plant for a week—access to an additional location can be granted on an individual basis. This allows them to use the on-site food and beverage offerings as usual during their temporary assignment without needing a separate account or additional login.
Example: Integration of local partner
Not every location has its own cafeteria or a sufficiently wide selection of food options. This is where integrating local partner is worthwhile: A nearby bakery, butcher shop, or restaurant is connected to the Marketplace as an additional vendor. Employees place orders as usual via the sizzly app, while the local partner receives its own separate access and manages the product selection, prices, and orders independently—without the company having to maintain this content separately. The advantage is particularly evident with recurring orders, such as a daily breakfast delivery, or spontaneous needs for meeting catering for a last-minute meeting: Instead of circulating collective lists via email or shouting them out in the office, each person places their order directly and individually through the app—billed to the appropriate cost center.
Benefits for Everyone Involved
For companies, this means: a single account for employees across multiple locations and partner , standardized billing through payroll or cost centers, no more collective lists and no additional administrative burden for secretaries or assistants, as well as an expanded dining options without any additional administrative burden for employees.
For employees, this means having a single account through which they can place orders regardless of their location or the provider they choose—with the same familiar subsidies (if offered) and billing, whether it’s a regular cafeteria order, breakfast delivery, or catering for the next meeting.
For connected merchants—whether they have their own location or use an external partner —this means: their own separate portal with full control over their product selection and prices, access to a new customer base through the sizzly app, and independent order processing.
Conclusion
The Marketplace solution addresses a problem familiar to many companies with multiple locations or limited in-house cafeteria options: disparate, unconnected catering solutions and the tedious process of placing group orders via word of mouth, paper notices, or email lists. With a central account for in-house locations and external partner —ranging from traditional cafeteria orders and breakfast delivery to meeting catering with cost-center billing—ordering remains simple for employees, while each provider retains control over its own offerings. From the company’s perspective: one system, one platform. From the employee’s perspective: one account for everything.
