A new, independent survey of almost 200 managers across the F & B and hospitality sector was commissioned by F&B technology expert Caternet, discovering that ‘time’ and ‘money’ remain a top priority for the F&B industry.
When asked to name their top three pains, the number one spot goes to 79% of F&B managers who admit they regularly overspend on supplies and struggle to control recipe and menu costs to stay competitive. In second place, 52% say they spend too much time on admin and not enough time doing their actual job. In third place, the tedious stock take continues to create a relentless headache for more than a quarter of F&B managers.
Last but not least, 12% say quality of supplies and lack of time to compare prices and shop around are also key issues – again linked to the issue of budget control.
Reducing the risk of overspending
In response to these top industry gripes, Caternet is launching Daily Data, its new generation ‘farm to fork’ 100% integrated online management system for the F&B industry. Designed simply to save both time and money by modernising traditional F&B operational processes, Daily Data reduces the risk of overspending by giving businesses greater visibility and control over their operations via a system workflow of planning, operating and reporting based on live supplier prices.
Jerry Brand, Managing Director at Caternet explains more: “To be honest, the results of our research are probably not a huge surprise for most, but are perhaps a gentle reminder of the daily pains we all face together as an industry. Daily Data is all about saving time and money as effortlessly as possible and, in so doing, making your F&B operation more efficient, allowing the team more time to provide great service to their customers. The main benefit when switching from other systems or modernising manual ones is that Caternet doesn’t charge any up-front capital. So operators can be up and running in days paying on a faircharging basis as they go.”
