Food & Beverage (F&B) Industry
Food & Beverage (F&B) Industry Solution
BigLedger powers top Southeast Asian restaurant chains, fast-casual dining brands, and central kitchen operations. F&B operators face high transaction volumes, perishable raw material inventory, tight gross margins, and strict bank reconciliation demands.
🔄 End-to-End F&B Supply Chain & POS Flow
Key Workflow Highlights:
- Central Kitchen Bulk Purchasing: Raw meats, produce, and seasonings are purchased centrally to leverage volume discounts.
- Standardized Recipe Costing (BOM): Each dish or beverage is tied to a precise Bill of Materials. When a customer orders a dish at an outlet POS, the exact weights of ingredients are automatically deducted from stock.
- Automated Bank Settlement Reconciliation: High-volume daily transactions from credit cards and e-wallets (GrabPay, Touch ’n Go, ShopeePay) are automatically matched against actual bank payouts, flagging merchant fee discrepancies instantly.
