Bott digitizes the gastronomic processes
with the sizzly Catering Cloud
In September 2024, Bott introduced the mobile ordering and payment platform sizzly to digitize the catering ordering, payment and billing processes for its employees in all four plants. The result? Significant time savings, greater transparency and happier employees - a complete success for bott!
Initial situation
High manual effort and non-transparent processes
Before the introduction of sizzly , the ordering and payroll processes at bott were very paper-based and time-consuming. In total, the HR department invested up to 5 working hours per month in accounting - without the additional processing time for queries.
Orders in paper form
Handwritten order lists had to be submitted to official collection points in the respective factories and buildings by a certain deadline.
Evaluation of orders
The canteen staff collected the individual order lists from the collection points after the deadline and evaluated them to create an overall order for the respective location.
Forwarding orders to the caterer
All orders could now be sent to the caterer by the canteen staff.
Entry of purchases in new lists
Collected orders and spontaneous purchases, such as drinks, were recorded in the canteen in new lists for each employee.
The problem: there was no comparison of whether orders and collections matched.
Preparation of monthly statement
Based on the purchase lists from the canteens, the HR department prepared the monthly statement for each employee for payroll accounting.
Large number of queries
Due to a lack of overview, there were many queries from employees regarding payroll accounting to the HR department.
The solution:
Digital processes with the sizzly catering app
The entire process was digitized with the introduction of sizzly :
Digital orders
Employees order their meals directly via the app, with allergens, prices and allowances visible at all times. The weekly meal plan of various stores is available digitally.
Overview of orders
Employees have an overview of all orders placed and can manage their orders themselves and cancel them in the event of illness.
Automated billing
Billing now only takes around 20 minutes per month for all plants - queries and complaints are a thing of the past.
The advantages for BotT
through the introduction of the sizzly app
Customer testimonial
bott reports on what has changed in the company since its introduction:
"With sizzly , we have found a digital all-in-one solution for digital meal ordering in our company that works for both our internal and external employees. The integration of payroll accounting and our allowance structure has saved us a considerable amount of time, as payroll accounting for each employee is now completed in just a few clicks instead of a few days. The employees have been extremely positive about the new app and sizzly has always been quick and helpful to contact. We look forward to continuing our journey together!"
Jan Willem Jongert
Spokesman of the Management Board / CEO at Bott GmbH & Co. KG
"With sizzly we save our canteen staff at each point of sale around two hours a day, which used to be spent on processing and evaluating pre-orders. The time required for the monthly billing run has been reduced from eight hours to 20 minutes, and there are no more queries or complaints about the services billed, as all employees can view all purchases at any time via the sizzly can view all purchases at any time via the app."

Important success factors
for a successful project launch & the introduction of the sizzly app
These following factors made the introduction of the sizzly app at bott a complete success. Thanks to clear, successful communication and committed managers within the company who oversaw the introduction of the sizzly app, bott was able to provide enormous support for a smooth introduction, as employees also need a contact person within the company itself, in addition to sizzly support. We would therefore like to take this opportunity to thank bott for the great cooperation.
