The current F&B industry in Singapore is competitive and tough. More and more dining options apperaring near one another, spoiling consumers with endless choices. Customers who were once dining at your canteen 5 days a week are now splitting that 5 days with probably another 2 or 3 competitors around your canteen.



But not to worry as here are still ways to help you boost your profits while controlling or even lowering your costs. Implementing self ordering kiosks and CRM solutions at your canteen are two simple 2 ways you could go about doing that.


Benefits of Self-Ordering Kiosk

Self-ordering kiosks streamline the ordering process, allowing multiple users to place orders simultaneously, which reduces congestion and wait times.


Increased Average Order Value

Kiosks can suggest add-ons and upgrades during the ordering process, leading to higher average ticket sizes.


Improved Order Accuracy
By enabling customers to input their orders directly, kiosks minimize miscommunication, leading to more accurate order fulfillment.


Labor Cost Optimization
Automating the ordering process reduces the need for dedicated order-taking staff, allowing personnel to focus on food preparation and other essential tasks.


Advantages of CRM Integration

Personalized Customer Experience
CRM systems track individual customer preferences and order histories, enabling personalized meal suggestions and promotions, which enhance satisfaction and encourage repeat visits.


Effective Loyalty Programs
Integrating CRM with loyalty programs allows for tracking customer purchases and rewarding frequent diners with discounts or special offers, fostering customer retention.


Data-Driven Menu Optimization
Analyzing CRM data helps identify popular dishes and adjust menus accordingly, ensuring offerings align with customer preferences and reducing food waste.


Targeted Marketing Campaigns
CRM platforms facilitate the implementation of targeted marketing efforts by segmenting customers based on their behavior and preferences, leading to more effective promotions.

WhatsApp Integration: Marketing & Order Statuses

By Liang+Wei Liaw • September 2, 2025
One of the biggest challenges of running an F&B business in Singapore apart from high rental and manpower is keeping customers engaged so they return again and again. Many businesses rely on email marketing , but let’s be honest — most emails end up ignored, unopened, or worse, lost in spam folders. That’s where WhatsApp marketing changes the game. Higher Engagement and Open Rates Unlike emails, WhatsApp messages land directly in your customer’s phone inbox, where they are far more likely to be opened. Studies show WhatsApp open rates can reach 90%+, compared to just 20–30% for email. That means your promos, loyalty offers, and updates actually get seen. Personalized, Targeted Campaigns With Minty’s WhatsApp integration, you can broadcast messages to specific member groups. Some examples include: 🔄 Re-engagement campaigns : Win back customers who haven’t visited in a while. ⭐ Regular engagement messages : Keep your brand top-of-mind with loyal diners. 🎁 Promotions & eVoucher notifications : Drive redemptions and boost sales. 📦 Order status updates : Keep customers informed when they order online. Stronger Customer Loyalty Email often feels one-way and impersonal, but WhatsApp is conversational by nature. By using it to share timely, relevant content, you create a stronger connection with your members and increase the likelihood of repeat visits. A Smarter Choice for F&B Growth In today’s competitive F&B scene, relying solely on email campaigns is no longer enough. WhatsApp marketing offers higher visibility, better engagement, and measurable results — making it the smarter way to grow customer loyalty and revenue.
