The takeaway and online shopping markets are developing rapidly, and food stores that can cooperate with physical store operations with technological solutions will have a higher survival rate in the epidemic market and after the epidemic.

Hot pot restaurant launches ingredient takeaway set menu, business rebounds by 60%

Under the gloom of the new crown pneumonia outbreak, citizens have reduced their eating out. After the “side stove family” was diagnosed, hot pot restaurants, barbecue restaurants and other restaurants were the first to bear the brunt, and the transformation to takeaway was almost the only way out. Some hot pot restaurants rushed to push the ingredients and soup base to take out set menus. In March, business rebounded from the bottom, up 60% from January and February. Due to changes in the business model, the hot pot restaurant has reduced the expenses necessary for dine-in operations, including the replacement of manpower by the take-away order meal system, which will reduce major operating costs in the long run.

The hot pot restaurant has changed from dine-in to take-out. The front desk transformation is relatively simple. You only need to arrange self-pick-up or place an order to deliveroo, foodpanda and other food-ordering platforms after receiving the order on FB or Whatsapp. On the contrary, the food restaurant’s take-out ordering system is Restaurants must handle the back-office packages carefully. Food delivery always has busy hours. If delays or missing orders cause business losses or customer dissatisfaction, it is definitely not a trivial matter for today’s restaurants.

 

Takeaway POS system reduces errors and omissions, a must for restaurant upgrades

The takeaway system belongs to the POS system of the restaurant, which improves the operating efficiency of the restaurant, reduces the workload and improves the accuracy of the work. After the restaurant establishes the menu in the backend of the POS system, when customers place an order, they only need to press the button on the display screen of the POS system to reduce errors and omissions caused by human handwriting orders. The POS system will track orders from the moment the order is placed to prevent missing orders. . The POS system can track the inventory and sales performance of food. When the food is out of stock, it will be marked in the POS system to optimize the ordering process. In addition, providing accounting information, sales data, business reports and other data is also an important function of the POS system. It saves accounting manpower, but allows chain restaurant owners to understand the performance of each branch at a glance.

The group combines the catering industry with IT, uses artificial intelligence to record the eating habits of diners and perform calculations, and finally arrive at a choice that suits the diners’ desires.

In addition to dine-in food, the food cooked in the food factory can also be taken out, as if the chef took care of the whole process.

Understand the company’s own problems and get twice the result with half the effort to apply for technology voucher

Technology vouchers are designed to help companies improve technology applications

The 2020/21 Budget proposes to increase the funding ceiling of the Technology Voucher Program from 400,000 to 600,000 from April 1, 2020, and increase the funding ratio from two-thirds (66.7%) to three-quarters (75%) , In order to encourage local enterprises to use technological solutions and systems, so as to enhance the competitiveness of Hong Kong enterprises or upgrade and transform.

After the announcement of the relevant measures, TVP-hk Hong Kong Technology Voucher Consultants received a large number of enquiries. Especially in recent months, the Wuhan pneumonia epidemic has been severe. Many small and medium-sized enterprises hope to use government funding to enhance the application of technology. Few traditional industries, such as wholesale, trade, and construction, are aware of the importance of technology. Whether it is a social incident or a pneumonia epidemic, it affects transportation and the flow of people. Not only do guests fail to come, which directly reduces the desire to spend, even employees may have to work from home, bringing the company’s operations to a halt.

 

I only smell technology coupons, I don’t know the details

Although the Innovation and Technology Commission responsible for the technology voucher scheme and other government departments or agencies, such as the Trade and Industry Department and the Hong Kong Productivity Council, often hold seminars on technology voucher, many small and medium-sized enterprises still have little knowledge of the technology voucher scheme. For persons in charge of small and medium-sized enterprises, resources generally tend to be used for sales and promotion. Technology solutions are often only a saving of expenses. Therefore, they seldom learn about technology solutions actively, and their knowledge of commercial technology applications is limited to desktop computers and office software. .

Another kind of boss sees that the amount of technology voucher subsidy is very large, so he ignores actual needs and may add a powerful enterprise resource planning system (ERP), but he has not thought about how to support employees and customers. Pay a maintenance fee. To understand how technology voucher can help a company, you must first understand your own problems before you can search for appropriate technology solutions. Otherwise, you only apply for applications as described above. I believe it will be difficult for the Innovation and Technology Agency to understand how technology projects can enhance the productivity of the company.

The purpose is clear. Technology voucher can do more with less

As with all business decisions, any action must first set a goal before the plan can achieve the goal. The problems faced by general business are mainly insufficient productivity, high cost or difficult risk control. For example, a technology voucher case of TVP-hk is a trading company that mainly relies on the website to find overseas buyers, but the website has been used for many years and the content management system (CMS) is very difficult to use. It takes a lot of time to update the product. New employees have to receive training before they can use CMS. After calculation, the company believes that rebuilding the website can save a lot of human resources, so it decided to use technology coupons. Related plans. It turned out that the new website system is indeed much easier to use, and can support more marketing functions, adding value to the website.

 

Technology Voucher Application Eligibility

It must prove the actual operation. In addition to business registration and company registration, it must also have employees and income and expenses. General MPF MPF contribution records, receipt invoices and bank records are sufficient.

Technology vouchers will be increased from April 2020

Synchronous anti-epidemic TVP technology coupons will increase in April

Starting from April 1, 2020, the Technology Voucher Programme (TVP) will have the following optimization measures

  • The cumulative funding limit is determined by40MillionHong Kong dollar raised to60MillionHong Kong dollar
  • The proportion of government funding byTwo-thirdsPromote toThree quarters
  • The total application capital is determined byFour timesPromote toSix times

The previous plus codes are as follows:

  • The cumulative funding limit is determined by40MillionHong Kong dollar raised to60MillionHong Kong dollar (Budget 2019/20, February 27, 2019)
  • Increase the initial funding accounted for 25% of the total funding (December 1, 2019)

The optimization measures in December 2019 were initiated in response to the social incidents caused by the anti-amendment legislation in 2019, but the second time (April 1, 2020) was in response to the outbreak of the new type of coronary pneumonia (also known as “Wuhan pneumonia”). One of the rescue measures for Hong Kong’s severe economic blow.

 

For the first time since the launch of the Technology Voucher Scheme, the funding ratio has been increased

The most striking move this time is to increase the original two-thirds (that is, 66.7% of the government-funded technology voucher project cost) to three-quarters (that is, 75%). In the past, it would only increase the cumulative limit, which is very important for small businesses. It is not very helpful, because most small companies may not spend hundreds of thousands of yuan to upgrade their technology systems. Whether it is 200,000, 400,000 or even 600,000, the difference is not too big for this group of bosses. However, increasing the funding ratio will benefit all technology voucher applicants, reducing the original investment from 33.3% to 25%, which is about a quarter of the cost, whether it is a web system of tens of thousands of yuan or a cost of 600,000 yuan. For large-scale enterprise resource management systems, new methods are treated equally.

 

Survival is also a problem. What is the use of technology vouchers for me?

Perhaps hard-hit companies will ask the above question. TVP-hk understands that each industry has its own difficulties. However, there is still a business to do. Some industries are facing survival and death. Perhaps it is not the time to talk about the system. Upgrade; if the business impact is small, you can actually take this opportunity to use technology to enhance your business competitiveness and take the lead in the market after the economic “epidemic” has passed. Many times we will hear people say, “When SARS buys a property, it will be developed.” Of course, no one wants to see the epidemic. However, the economy has ups and downs. Opportunities are only reserved for those who are prepared. The future will always rely on technology. .
