3 Solutions F&B Businesses Should Adopt

Restaurant establishments have always been looking for ways to better their operations for efficiency and reduce operating costs. In this article, we share 3 solutions that restaurant operators should adopt to boost efficiency and lower costs.

Cloud-based POS system

A POS system is the command centre of your restaurant’s operations. It does not only processes bill transactions, but also manages table occupancy, inventory, orders from different ordering channels, staff, and many more. 

Hence, getting a modern POS system that enables you to centralize your restaurant’s operation management is beneficial for your restaurant’s productivity. On top of that, modern POS systems are often cloud-based, which means that you will be able to manage your restaurant remotely. Tasks such as updating menus and analysing reports and dashboards can be done from your laptop anywhere.

Self-ordering solutions

Self-ordering solutions such as QR ordering and self-ordering kiosks are well-known restaurant technology. This is attributed to labour cost savings, increased order handling capabilities leading to increased profits.

Enabling your customers to self-order, QR ordering & self-ordering kiosks give your restaurant the ability to accept more orders without having to hire more. On top of that, these self-ordering solutions allow you to pre-set add on suggestions to automate upselling and increase your restaurant’s average bill size.

Kitchen technology

Kitchen efficiency is important to build a successful restaurant. Some good examples of kitchen technology commonly adopted by restaurants are automatic dishwashers and kitchen display solutions.

Automatic dishwasher

A simple concept that is widely received in restaurant establishments. Automatic dishwashers have been proven to wash a restaurant’s dirty dishes faster and are more sanitary than manual washing.

This makes it a perfect piece of kitchen technology to adopt in order to bring down labour and utility costs while improving your restaurant’s kitchen efficiency.

Kitchen display solution

A tablet-based solution that displays orders systematically according to table numbers. It gives your kitchen staff a bird’s eye view of all orders so they can use the appropriate food preparation strategies. Thus, reducing service time and food wastage. 

When changes are made to an order, kitchen display solutions are able to reflect changes and cancellations of orders instantaneously on the tablet screen. On the other hand, while kitchen printers are able to print out changes to orders, it may not be as straightforward for your busy kitchen crews to re-organize the orders. This is time-consuming and could lead to slower service times.
