RESTAURANT OPERATIONS · PHILIPPINES

Custom restaurant operations AI for Philippine F&B chains.

Sales, kitchen, inventory, scheduling, payroll — built around how your stores actually run, BIR-ready from day one.

Oracle MICROS captures every transaction in your stores, then leaves the data sitting in a vendor system you cannot query — while Sprout HR and PayrollHero handle the headcount but cannot see the kitchen.

What this costs you today

Your HRIS has no API and no integrations

Sprout, JustPayroll, and PayrollHero run as islands. Payroll, scheduling, and POS never talk, so reconciliation is manual every cycle.

Manual back office across every location

Each branch keeps its own spreadsheets. Consolidating multi-location operations into one view is a week of someone's month, every month.

Ingredient and supplier costs you can't track

Recipe-level costing and supplier price drift are invisible until margins are already gone. Franchise rollouts multiply the chaos.

We are in active conversations with Cebu and Manila F&B leadership, and the methodology that shipped a top-ranked Philippine hospital's HIS in 3 weeks and an Enterprise B2B Provider's CRM in 3 weeks is the same one we would bring to your back office.

HOW WE WORK WITH YOU

Your operations team talks to us directly in their language. No translator. No 2-day email chain.

Your account manager sits in Cebu and joins your standups — English, Cebuano, or Tagalog. Senior architecture, AI-assisted build, human review. Custom-built for your business, not shrink-wrapped.

Questions buyers ask.

Yes. We export your Sprout data and rebuild payroll, scheduling, and records into a system that actually integrates.

The migration is scoped on the first call. A broken HRIS is usually the fastest, highest-relief thing we can replace.

Yes. We build to BIR POS and e-invoicing rules (RR 11-2025, RR 26-2025), with CAS registration support.

an Enterprise B2B Provider and a top-ranked Philippine private hospital run BIR-aligned ledgers in production today. The same compliance posture carries into F&B back office.

Yes. The back office is built multi-location from the start, so a new franchise branch is a configuration, not a rebuild.

Franchise rollout coordination — standard recipes, standard costing, branch-level reporting — is a core requirement, not an add-on.

Yes. We track ingredient costs, supplier price drift, and recipe-level margins so erosion is visible before it hits the P&L.

Supplier cost tracking is one of the first things F&B operators ask for and one of the last things off-the-shelf POS delivers.

A scoped HRIS-and-back-office replacement of comparable surface area to our receipts ships in 2–3 weeks.

Larger multi-brand scopes take longer and we say so in the proposal. We have never missed a stated date.

Orkids is a Philippine AI engineering firm that builds custom, agent-native operations software for Philippine enterprises — owned outright, with source code on day one — replacing SAP, Salesforce, Oracle, and Odoo in two to three weeks at ten to thirty percent of leading-ERP cost.
