Data Drop: Top 10% of Singapore F&B operators generate 2.9x more sales per man-hour than the bottom 10%.

Based on our Food Services Productivity Report 2024/25, one of the secret weapons for scaling lean is Strategic Outsourcing. Here's what the top performers do differently:

🔪 Higher Sales & Less Production Time: By shifting labour-intensive prep (like sauces and base components) to trusted suppliers, top performers cut in-house production time by 40-50%. Your lean team gets to focus on assembly, fast service and table turnover.

📐 Optimised Space Usage: Making everything from scratch demands equipment and storage. Outsourcing allows operators to shrink their back-of-house to just 25% of the floor plan, dedicating the remaining to revenue-generating customer seating and displays.

Through EnterpriseSG and SGPC, local F&B SMEs can get funding support to make the shift:

1. FoodX Grant - Offset outsourcing transition costs with 50% grant support for projects up to $10,000 🔗https://go.sgpc.sg/sgpc_pop_fb

2. Process Optimisation Programme (POP) - Looking for a broader kitchen workflow or tech revamp? POP offers 50% funding for workflow consultancy and approved IT/equipment solutions. 🔗https://go.sgpc.sg/sgpc_pop_fb

⚠️ Important: FoodX application window closes on 23 March 2026 and grant is applicable up to 100 eligible companies.

Today at the FoodX launch, we had a candid fireside chat moderated by Michael Tan, on a topic that often divides the room: "Driving Productivity Through Food Outsourcing." The common fear is that outsourcing dilutes quality. However, our panel of industry leaders debunked this myth, demonstrating that strategic partners can be the key to preserving quality while scaling up.

Here are the key takeaways from the session:

🎙 Alex Lim (Simple Food Solutions) spoke about a mindset shift. Professional central kitchens have already invested in the right equipment and machinery that makes consistency possible at a level that is hard to sustain manually. More chefs today are open to outsourcing because it removes the most exhausting, repetitive steps present in daily operations.

🎙 Eugene Tan (Serangoon BBQ & Curry) shared how modernising the business through tech and outsourcing doesn't mean losing the "human touch". When operations run smoother, there is more time for customers, for staff and for touches that people will remember and appreciate.

🎙 Lim Yuan Ming (What The Puff!) has a bold vision - to give the traditional puffs a makeover and bring creative flavours accessible to everyone. For him, he is exploring outsourcing as a strategic unlock that prevents manual production from bottlenecking the vision and slowing growth.

A big thank you to our speakers for their honesty, generosity and willingness to share. 👏🏻

The future of food services isn't about doing everything yourself. It’s about building an ecosystem where businesses and manufacturers work together to create long-term value.

If this session inspired you to explore outsourcing, FoodX grant is here to support that first step.

Career planning isn’t about guessing employees’ future, it’s about giving people clarity and direction. 🌱

Too often, career conversations are reduced to vague promises, awkward annual chats, or a simple “see how”. That’s when engagement drops and talent starts to leave.

When career planning is done well, employees feel supported, supervisors lead with confidence, and retention improves naturally.

That’s why career planning needs structure.

👉 Join the Structured Career Planning Course for the Food Industry and equip your supervisors with practical tools to guide meaningful growth conversations.
