Case Study

Discover real-life success stories of how FABTANT has driven growth and efficiency for top F&B establishments.

Case Study 1

Central Kitchen Expansion

Problem:

Miss Kim, the owner of a bistro café for over 20 years, wanted to expand her business into the catering field by setting up a central kitchen with new business partners. She mistakenly believed that a basic food hygiene course certificate and a food hygiene officer certificate were sufficient for operating a central kitchen. As a result, she did not realise the necessity of undergoing the Food Safety Management System (FSMS) course. Additionally, Miss Kim purchased the wrong equipment for the central kitchen, leading to underutilised space and inefficiencies.

Solution:

Miss Kim engaged FABTANT for advisory services on the Food Safety Management System (FSMS). FABTANT promptly enrolled her in the FSMS/HACCP course. He then conducted a thorough hygiene inspection of the central kitchen, prepared the necessary paperwork, and reorganised the kitchen layout. Regarding the equipment, Darren assessed the current inventory, identified the essential equipment Miss Kim needed, and advised her on government grants available for equipment purchases. This strategic approach resulted in a 40% savings on the new equipment, optimising both the kitchen space and operations.

Case Study 2

Restaurant Licensing Issue

Problem:

Mr Tan rented a shophouse unit with the intention of setting up a restaurant. The property agent assured him that the space could be used for F&B purposes but failed to specify the exact type of F&B operations allowed. Upon engaging Darren from FABTANT to assist with the license application, it was discovered that the venue was only permitted for takeaway services and not for dine-in restaurant operations.

Solution:

Fabtant quickly assisted Mr Tan with the necessary change of use application. He arranged for a kitchen contractor to install an exhaust system, completing the installation within three days. Following the installation, Darren swiftly helped Mr Tan with the restaurant license application. Within a week, the license was approved, enabling Mr Tan to commence his restaurant operations as originally scheduled.
