System catering

Dynamische Anforderungen in der Systemgastronomie. Eine intelligente Lösung.

Franchise systems and system catering operators operate in an area of tension between high quality standards, centrally controlled inventory management and dynamic sales planning across numerous locations. In order to efficiently coordinate ordering processes, delivery logistics, action planning and recipe management, a solution is needed that not only works across branches, but also represents industry-specific features such as seasonal menu changes, promotional goods, production requirements and traceability. Only those who intelligently connect procurement, production, warehousing and sales can create the necessary transparency — and ensure operational stability with full scalability.

Standardised processes. Maximum flexibility.

Every day, branch companies in system catering are faced with the challenge of reconciling standardized processes with individual location requirements — while maintaining product quality, short response times and high staff turnover. A central ERP system provides the decisive advantage here: It harmonizes order cycles, automates production planning, ensures recipe compliance and manages advertising campaigns across channels — from headquarters to the point of sale. Consistent data structures and real-time information not only make day-to-day business more efficient, but also enable well-founded management based on key business indicators.

Transparent database for well-founded decisions

Successful management in system catering is based on reliable data — not on estimates. An ERP system provides consolidated information on the use of goods, sales figures, inventories, production quantities and personnel times across all locations — in real time and in standardized form. This data creates the basis for reliable business evaluations, forecasts and strategic decisions — for example for product range optimization, pricing or space productivity. Automated reports and dashboards provide management with full transparency at all times and can react quickly and specifically to deviations.

Automation along the gastronomic value chain

The requirements for speed, consistency and cost control are constantly increasing. An ERP system helps system catering to realize continuous automation potential — from demand-oriented reordering to central recipe control to automated warehouse planning and action planning. Error-prone manual entries are reduced, local employees are relieved and operational processes are accelerated. At the same time, process reliability is increased, for example through automatic quantity calculations in production or intelligent tracing of batches and deliveries. The result is a stable, efficient operating process — which works even at high speed and with changing staffing levels.
