Overwhelmed handling orders and recording received items at the same time?

If you're down to just one person, what should you do first?

No F&B Procurement System?
Let’s Tackle Your Operational Pain Points, One by One!

Pain Point 1: Frequent Human Errors

Wrong & Missing Orders Caused by a Handwritten Approach

Struggling with heavy workloads and tight deadlines, frontline staff often need to handle the procurement process via email, phone, fax or WhatsApp using handwritten order forms and without the help of an effective restaurant procurement system. This manual and unsystematic approach easily leads to mistakes such as wrong orders or missing items, incorrect quantities, wrong delivery dates or even sending orders to the wrong supplier, causing messy and missing records. Over time, this results in unstable procurement and supply schedules, last-minute orders and higher food costs.

Yet, by using a professional F&B procurement system, like FOODIVAL, you can digitise and streamline the entire procurement workflow for your restaurants, taking a big step towards optimized efficiency and smoother day-to-day operations.

Pain Point 2: Difficult Order Tracking

Multiple Order Channels with Messy Records

The traditional procurement approach often involves multiple order channels (e.g. WhatsApp, email and phone) with extensive manual processing by different staff, making it difficult to track order status and maintain clear records. Without a centralised F&B procurement system, procurement details are scattered across various channels and responsible individuals. In case of duplicated orders, wrong submissions or staff turnover, management is extremely difficult to quickly trace purchase history and identity responsibility, increasing internal collaboration cost and risks. These problems not only reduce procurement efficiency, but also hinder controllability and transparency of restaurants’ procurement workflow.

Pain Point 3: Incomplete Goods-Received Records

Procurement Without Digital Control & Stock Management by Estimation

Without restaurant procurement software, many restaurants find themselves struggling with incomplete and unreliable goods-received databases. For example, some restaurants still rely heavily on handwritten or paper-based approaches to record received quantities, or even manually amend the invoice or Goods-Received Notes (GRNs) on the spot, resulting in inaccurate or fragmented data. This error-prone workflow leads to inaccurate stock data as restaurant staff tends to adjust stock records and plan purchase strategy by brief estimation or based on past experience instead of actual and reliable numbers.
Over time, it is inevitable for the restaurant to end up facing overstock or understock, which affects both food cost control and supply stability. By implementing the FOODIVAL F&B procurement system in Hong Kong, owners can not only significantly enhance procurement efficiency, but also improve procurement data transparency and accuracy for an effective stock and supply‑chain management.

2. Smart MOQ/MOV Alerts - Zero Food Waste, Full Control

In typical procurement workflows, suppliers often set a minimum order quantity (MOQ) or minimum order value (MOV) for certain products. FOODIVAL restaurant procurement system provides a built-in smart alert system that enables users to set different ordering thresholds for different products. This feature of our restaurant procurement software greatly reduces the time and effort required for manual verification, as well as minimises back-and-forth communications, improving the overall procurement efficiency.

Our F&B procurement system ensures your orders align with supplier policies and requirements through our smart alerts, slashing unnecessary costs and reducing waste. 

3. Abnormal Order Alerts - Avoid Manual Errors with Ease

FOODIVAL’s F&B procurement system automatically checks purchase orders and issues alerts when it detects any unusual order details, such as quantity deviates significantly from past order records. This serves as a reminder to prompt the frontline staff to review and double confirm order details before submitting PO to suppliers, effectively preventing wastage and additional costs caused by overstocking. 

4. Quick Remarks on the Go - No More Miscommunication

Clear communication is particularly crucial for the daily collaboration between restaurants and suppliers. To address this, FOODIVAL restaurant procurement system incorporates a special remark feature that allows frontline users to add descriptions or special requests, such as delivery time, packaging methods or product quality, when placing order to suppliers via our platform.

Better communication helps suppliers to understand restaurants’ needs and handle their orders effectively without misunderstanding and mistakes, making the procurement flow more convenient, easy and organised than ever before.

Easy Multiple Unit Conversion – Switch Flexibly Anytime

Unit management and conversion are among the most common challenges in daily procurement. For example, it is common to find a product sold by “Kg” but received in packs or boxes on the GRNs.

F&B Procurement System Hong Kong Success Stories

“Matching Orders in a Flash with Smarter Procurement Flow”

Success Story 1:

Background

Tajimaya is a Japanese hot pot restaurant offering individual hot pots. Currently, it is running four branches in Hong Kong, featuring premium Wagyu beef imported from Japan and overseas as well as a wide variety of shabu-shabu broths as its signature. Customers can enjoy various fresh ingredients from its self-service bar, such as fresh vegetables, meatballs, side dishes and sauces, allowing them to freely mix-and-match ingredients for creating their unique and personalized hotpot styles. This unique dining experience is particularly popular among hot pot lovers who value personalized tastes and pace.

With the expansion of the brand, Tajimaya requires higher standards and efficiency in their procurement workflow to support the brand’s rapid growth.

Why does Tajimaya need digitalisation?

Since its time-consuming and error-prone procurement and stock management processes can no longer support its multi-brand operation and achieve precise cost management, Tajimaya decides to revolutionise with digitalisation, by utilizing professional restaurant procurement software: 

  • Hotpot restaurants usually face complex procurement and stock management due to its fast-moving and wide variety of fresh ingredients, making it challenging to handle daily purchases and stock manually such as via WhatsApp, handwritten orders or Excel processing. This manual operation often leads to invoice mismatches and loss of control over food cost as it is difficult to maintain accuracy and efficiency without the help of restaurant procurement software.      

  • The purchase team has to trace order history and invoices via WhatsApp conversations, and often engage in back-and-forth communications with frontline staff to reassure order details. Such practice makes the procurement process cumbersome and error prone as it highly relies on individual memory and experience. In case of staff turnover, daily operations can be easily disrupted which imposes higher risk in management.  

  • As the number of branches grows, the client finds it difficult to keep up with the procurement and stock data and costs across outlets without a consolidated platform, making precise cost control and effective procurement management difficult.

  • Cumbersome manual workflows and reporting consume most of the time and efforts, which hinders menu optimisation, customer experience improvement and strategy planning.

  • The client seeks deeper integration and synergy between existing systems, including POS, procurement and stock management and FlexAccount (Financial management) to improve data integration and interdepartmental collaboration. 

How our F&B procurement system assists the client in digitalisation?

FOODIVAL drives intelligent F&B procurement workflows alongside Tajimaya by focusing on the following key areas: 

  • Provide industry-centric, restaurant procurement system design tailored to the operational needs of Tajimaya by transforming manual procurement operations involving WhatsApp, handwritten records and Excel processing to a systematic, standardised and digitalised process where every step is traceable and accountable, ceasing reliance on individual experience and memory. 

  • Allow Tajimaya to manage purchase orders, deliveries, invoices and stock across all outlets through a single consolidated platform. The procurement team is able to search and access real-time data in our restaurant procurement system by different criteria such as by suppliers, branches or dates, significantly improving invoice reconciliation efficiency. 

  • Automatically integrate purchase orders, GRNs and invoices data to identify disparities and abnormalities such as mismatched amounts or quantities, helping Tajimaya to improve reconciliation accuracy with reduced human error. 

  • ​A restaurant procurement software that offers a wide range of reports and cost analysis such as procurement cost, stock movement and wastage reports to help Tajimaya monitor procurement costs and outlet performance for more precise purchasing and margin control. 

  • Integrate various systems, including POS, FlexAccount – Financial Management System and BridgeBuilder HRMS – Human Resources Management for building an ecosystem. With the ecosystems, all interdepartmental data, including supplier invoices, POS sales data, labour costs and more, can be synchronised and integrated daily into FlexAccount for in-depth analysis and generating sales reports, allowing the client to gain real-time visibility into daily revenue and overall operational performance while enhancing operational transparency and business analytical capability. This effectively helps get rid of lag in data analysis commonly seen in the F&B industry so that the management can instantly spot profitability and losses at a glance.
