A Better Way To See The Data
Before using Food Market Hub, they had to go to the stores, to the restaurants itself to see how much stock they have in store.
But now when our stocks hit aa certain level we know it’s time to do the purchasing.
We can set the levels so it’s easier for us to understand what we are doing, especially in purchasing and the stock trail.
We can see how much wastage, how much balance is left in the store.
During the end of the month, we can see how much that we spent on the cost of the food itself. We are heavily relying on the productions, stock, purchasing and ordering. For the production in terms of calculating the cost, I can do it for 20 outlets in just one day.
Makes it easier for us to see if there are any problems, for example why the figure is too high or too low.
When I started to use Food Market Hub, it felt familiar to me. So I didn’t have any problems understanding Food Market Hub.
A little tip from Pasta Panas
“I think you should try to use Food Market Hub because in the industry, you are doing business so basically it’s all about the sales, the cost.
So when you are using the app, it makes it easier for you to see all these costs, so that you can plan ahead.“
– Amira, Pasta Panas
“I’m super grateful that we have Food Market Hub. It enables a lot of data to be readily available on your phone. Which is really awesome especially when we’re hiring the new generation that are all digital people.
Before we used a lot of paper to record what to buy, and who to buy from, but now my staff can view all the things they need to purchase in one click!
We have less errors in our operations from all staffs, and the management is able to control and visualize all work from my staffs!
We’re going to dive deeper into Food Market Hub’s features including data analysis, margins analysis, wastage analysis. And I believe the true value of Food Market Hub will really start to surface!

The Fish Bowl started off in 2016, they now currently have 14 outlets across Klang Valley. At the store, they take pride in serving the very best ingredients, in terms of quality and also freshness, the goods that we produce are natural. Best consumed within a stipulated time, so it is in the best ideal condition to be served.
One of their bestsellers is the Shoyu Salmon and also the Miso Salmon. Usually they start off by receiving goods because they take much pride in serving fresh ingredients. Most of the store ingredients are delivered daily from their centralized kitchen so it always ensures the freshness for customers. Ensuring that the products delivered are what they require and then we’ll start off by unpacking and preparing.
The Main Features
For Food Market Hub, what they use is two main systems, which is the procurement and also the inventory management. In terms of the procurement, it’s very easy to use because ultimately the ordering comes from our outlet and it’s all-in-one app. “It’s like a shopping cart whereby my boys from the outlets can do the ordering easily.” stated by Jun Hoong.
In terms of inventory management, it is ideal for people who manage where they can monitor their stock levels. It’s like automated ordering from our supplier’s and then from there we can also monitor our margins, and production costs of our goods. We started off the conventional way whereby we do our ordering and also inventory management in a more manual way. It has helped automate several processes with this, it also helps to reduce human errors.
2. A Easy and User Friendly System
One of the key selling points that made us decide to use Food Market Hub is because of the app, it’s quite user friendly. My staff from the outlets find it interesting and easy to use, much different from our conventional method of procurement. Overall a very pleasant experience. One of the key pointers out there to everybody out there is to always understand your business needs. Identify which part of your business that needs improvement. So if you do see a need for certain features or systems that will help you be clear and concise with what you need, and make sure that you’re getting the proper system that will help you benefit your business.
“Food Market Hub has really helped us in terms of streamlining our ordering systems. where a lot of the things are done kinda like a shopping cart style for the outlets, really helped in organizing and speed up the ordering for a lot of what we use here at the shop.”
“By eliminating a lot of these manual processes and automating them and having a lot of pre-calculations, it sends reminders on when certain stocks are low based on our stock takes.”
“It also alerts us when our suppliers have confirmed the order. Food Market Hub has really helped us erase human errors and reduce wastage because of the automated calculations and the fact that the system does need to go through multiple sets of eyes before anything is approved or any orders come in or when things are produced. So that kinda allows us to keep each other in a functional check and balance system.”
“One feature that I usually look at is the purchase history.
I think that’s very important for someone who is making a decision on whether we’re
going with supplier A or supplier B.
We also use the data of the purchase price history in the system to negotiate better terms with our suppliers.”
“The biggest feature that helps the team place orders more effectively and helps us
trace in terms of holding suppliers accountable if there’s any delay to the deliveries
We can at least find out “Hey, we placed an order [when]”
It’s a lot easier because it’s all tracked”
– Andrew, Chief Operating Manager of myBurgerLab

For F&B chains looking to scale, optimizing communications and operations between suppliers, central kitchens and outlets is imperative.
“We constantly faced challenges in communications and operations between our central kitchen and outlets, as they were too manual in process. It has prevented us from scaling our business at the rate we have targeted to achieve. We have been looking for a solution to this ever since and we are glad we have found FMH!
With FMH, the placing of orders and communications between our central kitchen and outlets are quicker and has more traceable as the processes are now digitalized. We can even track variances, inventory levels and costs all through this single FMH platform!
We are now expecting to scale 31% Y-o-Y confidently and further exploring food safety tracking through FMH as well!”- Din Tai Fung
Together, we can modernize all F&B businesses in no time!
” Food Market Hub is able to standardize my business and sync my sales order data to invoice instantly, which has saved me 61% of admin hiring cost. One invoice used to take up to 5 minutes, but now I can generate an invoice within 10 seconds, just by clicking 2 buttons!
Moreover, with business operation standardized, there are lesser mistakes in customer ordering, lesser mistakes in stock picking, and anyone can replace my task easily because it is just that simple. Every order that comes in is translated to English or BM, so my stock picker can understand all orders so there’s close to no errors when handling orders. Customers are also able to see what they’re ordering in pictures so they are not confused with the name of the vegetable, they can just reorder from their purchase history, so it’s super convenient for them too! “

Food waste remains one of the biggest cost impacting F&B businesses and their profitability.
“We have always been operating with an estimated food costs at 56% and our profit margin is directly impacted by this. We have tried many ways to solve this issue in order to lower the number down but nothing worked until we have been introduced to FMH’s solution.
Once we have started using FMH, we quickly found out that there was significant over-ordering of raw ingredients as our outlets were unable to track the quantities accurately. Now that we are able to track our inventories effectively, we have successfully lowered our COGS and achieved 15% increase in our profit margin!”
