F&B – Integrated Solutions: The Development of Chain Restaurants

In the Hong Kong Food and Beverage Industry, it is common to see many restaurants operating as chains. Tracing back to the predecessors of chain restaurants, they often originate from small restaurants, and in some cases, even from Itinerant Hawker.

Over the years, they have experienced numerous challenges such as economic development, local reconstruction, and inflationary spike. To stand firm in the market, these restaurants need to continuously strive for improvement and enhance their competitiveness, and embracing technology integration has become an essential component for these restaurants.

In order to assist small, medium-sized, and chain restaurants in overcoming their daily challenges, Linkage has created "LINK One-Stop F&B Solutions" - a comprehensive suite of solutions designed to meet all the needs of your restaurants.

Central Management Model - Manage Multiple Restaurants in a Unified Manner

Managing a single restaurant is already a challenging task, and it becomes even more complex when dealing with multiple establishments. At Linkage, we fully understand the difficulties faced by restaurant owners. That's why our F&B Solutions incorporate a Central Management Model, designed to assist you in efficiently overseeing multiple restaurants in a unified manner.

Menu Management: Our Menu Management Function enables restaurants to establish a company-standard menu that will be automatically replicated across all new branches. This eliminates the need to spend lots of time setting up the menu from scratch each time. Additionally, we provide flexibility to individual branches, allowing them to make specific modifications and create their own menus tailored to accommodate diverse offerings

Bill of Materials (BOM): Our Bill of Materials Module is a tool designed to assist restaurants in managing their recipes, including ingredients with quantities and cooking instructions. It also enables the recording and tracking of ingredient usage for each branch, enabling the restaurant to uniformly place replenishment orders in a timely manner.

Customer Relationship Management System (CRM) - Turning Your Customers into Die-Hard Fans
