Singapore To Ease COVID-19 Restrictions
- What’s Next For Your F&B Business
With dine-in restrictions for F&B establishments gradually easing in Singapore from 29 March 2022, F&B owners must now take the next steps to future-proof their business.
The increase of dine-in group size to 10 pax, alongside the lifting of 10.30pm alcohol consumption ban and resumption of live performances, live broadcast screenings and recorded entertainment at F&B establishments, is a major step forward towards the reopening of Singapore’s economy, and signifies finally a proper chance for the F&B industry to recover.
News of relaxing the dine-in restrictions on F&B establishments have certainly put smiles on our faces. However, how many F&B businesses are truly well-equipped and ready to welcome this new phase within such a short notice in reality?
Challenges Faced by Restaurants with Larger Dine-In Group Sizes
With rising cost of goods, manpower issues and the never-ending rental problems, restaurant owners must quickly adapt to maximise operational efficiencies and reduce costs that come with larger dine-in group sizes.
The flip side of larger dine-in groups is that a rise in the number of reservations often lead to:
1. Disruptions to operational flow and manpower crunch
Many F&B restaurants need to make table layout changes to accommodate larger groups. Some F&B businesses might lack the manpower to meet this increasing demand of customers, and many are now exposed to a higher risk of no-shows which needlessly decreases the day’s revenue.
2. Higher costs due to third-party platform cover fees on reservations
Most third-party platforms charge their F&B merchants for cover fees when reservations are booked through their network or even on their own organic reservations via Google. With a projected increase in the number of reservations, the cost payable to third-party platforms will only continue to rise and eat into your restaurant profits.
With Oddle’s Complimentary Reservation System, you can:
1. Maximise Profits
At Oddle, we empower our F&B partners by giving them control over their reservations so that they can focus on selling better.
