Case Study:

Redefining Premium Hospitality at the University of Texas Sodexo Live!’s Hospitality Solutions Group elevated premium hospitality at the University of Texas during a milestone year marked by the stadium’s 100th anniversary and UT’s SEC debut. On an accelerated preseason timeline, the team delivered a new back-ofhouse kitchen, redesigned bars to nearly double transaction volume, and introduced elevated in-suite dining. Custom Longhorn-branded spaces and chefdriven menus powered by on-floor combi ovens raised food quality and operational performance, establishing Texas Athletics as a new benchmark for collegiate premium hospitality.
