CSA has flagged two critical PHP vulnerabilities. Here is how Aptsys is protecting Singapore F&B merchants, what you may notice, and what to do at your outlet.
If your restaurant files GST quarterly, your GST F5 return for July to September is due on 31 October. For many Singapore F&B operators, GST F5 filing means a week of exporting sales reports, fixing spreadsheets and chasing outlet managers for missing numbers. It should not take that long. A […]
“Can we do away with the cashier?” Every Singapore F&B owner facing rising wages and hard-to-fill shifts has asked it. Self-service kiosks and QR ordering already take the order. The one thing still keeping a person behind the counter is cash. Running a cashless restaurant in Singapore is how you […]
Running a restaurant in Singapore has always been labour-intensive. But the pressure to reduce manpower costs has never been higher. Wages are up. The foreign worker quota is tighter. And good F&B staff — the kind who show up reliably, learn fast, and stay past six months — are harder […]
If your restaurant runs QR ordering, your entire service depends on one thing most operators never think about until it breaks: your internet connection. A SIM card failover router gives your Singapore restaurant backup internet for QR ordering the moment your main connection drops — automatically, in seconds, with no […]
If you run more than one F&B outlet in Singapore, you already know the problem. You update the price of a dish at your main branch, then spend the next hour calling or messaging your other locations to make sure they’ve done the same. Someone forgets. A customer gets charged […]
Most Singapore restaurant owners think of their CRM as a loyalty points tracker. Points in, points out. Customers earn, customers redeem, and you hope they come back. It works — but stored value works better. If you have not added a stored value system to your CRM, you are leaving […]
Your POS system generates a report every single day. Most Singapore restaurant operators glance at total sales, maybe check if the number looks right, and close the tab. That is a missed opportunity — and in a margin-thin business, missed opportunities add up. The data sitting in your POS is […]
Walk into most Singapore F&B back offices and you’ll find the same pattern: one system for the POS, another for QR ordering, a third for CRM and loyalty, a fourth for the kitchen display, and sometimes a fifth just for reservations or delivery. Each tool does its job well enough […]
Contactless payment stopped being a differentiator for Singapore restaurants some time ago, even if a lot of marketing still treats it like one. Tap-to-pay, QR code payment, and mobile wallets are now the default expectation, not a feature guests notice or choose a restaurant for. If your ordering flow doesn’t […]
Most Singapore restaurants are still running POS systems built before QR ordering existed, before AI upselling was possible, and before smart inventory could automatically 86 an out-of-stock set meal the moment its key ingredient runs out. In 2026, the gap between an outdated POS and the right one isn’t just […]
