Connecting the digital dots in contact catering has never been easier. By joining forces, Van Hessen & Pej are ready to serve the contract catering market in the Benelux. With this partnership contract caterers get access to one of the most powerful and complete solutions on the market.
Pej delivers self-checkout solutions and systems for managing transactions and benefits for employees and guests. The system fully integrates with Oracle MICROS Simphony POS which Van Hessen offers.
With the commitment of Pej to get food service technology done right, combined with Van Hessen’s promise to guide, deliver and care, contract catering companies have the best solutions and services at their disposal.
There’s a considerable demand for digital guest- and account management in the contract catering industry. It is, for instance, not uncommon for canteens to use plastic coins or even pen and paper when administering guests’ benefits or discounts. This results in a lack of flexibility and high workload regarding administration and invoicing. The hassle even increases when the caterer adds vending machines, self-checkout kiosks or another digital ordering channel. Recognizing this challenge, Pej has developed a digital solution for managing benefits and transactions at scale.
The Pej platform is technically advanced with a sophisticated rules engine designed to align with the digital habits of today’s workforce. It is very user-friendly which makes it an ideal solution for large enterprises, offering quick deployment and swift return on investment.
‘There is so much for operators to gain when upgrading their technology and processes – the administrative workload will decrease enormously, and every single guest will get a better experience’, Nils Øyvind Karlsen, Partnership Account Executive at Pej, says.

Providing the best point of sale and back-office functionalities out there. The system even includes the most complex and mission-critical functions needed by innovative and demanding clients.
