FOR PHILIPPINE F&B CHAINS

One back office for all your branches.

POS, commissary, payroll, service-charge, and BIR e-invoicing — built as one system, not four disconnected subscriptions.

Oracle MICROS captures every transaction in your stores, then leaves the data sitting in a vendor system you cannot query — while your HRIS runs payroll from a spreadsheet export.

ORKIDS OS

Every dish's margin, every branch, live.

Recipe-level food cost, commissary par levels, and branch sales in one system — owned by you, down to the source code.

What this costs you today

Your POS captures every sale. Your back office sees none of it.

Oracle MICROS stores transaction data in a vendor silo with no structured export to payroll, commissary, or the BIR EIS. Month-end consolidation across 15–80 branches is a week of manual work.

Sprout and PayrollHero do not know what your POS sold.

Sprout HR and PayrollHero run payroll from spreadsheet exports. Service-charge distribution under RA 11360 is computed by hand, producing records that collapse under DOLE inspection.

BIR e-invoicing has no path on your current stack.

RR 11-2025 mandates structured e-invoice transmission to the BIR EIS by 31 Dec 2026 for large taxpayers. A legacy POS needs a separate integration project — quoted at millions for the bridge alone.

WHO YOU’RE QUOTING TODAY

The incumbents — and what they quote.

  • Toast POS$75–165/station/month (Source: Toast pricing, 2026)

  • Sprout HR₱8K–25K/month subscription (indicative range)
  • PayrollHero₱8K–25K/month subscription (indicative range)

A 25-branch QSR chain running Oracle MICROS, Sprout HR, and an Excel commissary paid ₱80K–200K/month across fragmented subscriptions with no EIS path. A comparable Orkids build replaces all four, owned outright — typically 30–50% of what they quote you. (Composite illustration based on PH market patterns.)

BUILD MODULES · 8 OF 16

The modules a Food & Beverage operation runs on.

All 16 modules are available. Talk to a founder about the full scope.

We replace. We build. We optimize.

Replace

Scoped enterprise modules in 2–3 weeks at 10–30% of leading-ERP cost. ₱3M at a top-ranked Philippine private hospital beat ₱15M–₱50M Oracle/Epic proposals for comparable scope.

Build

AI-powered systems where none exist. An Enterprise B2B Provider's CRM with auto-dispatch shipped in 3 weeks for ₱350K versus ₱3M–₱5M Salesforce implementation alone.

Optimize

Infrastructure you already run. Cut a Manila Financial Group's Google Cloud spend ~41% — ~₱70M annual savings.

Every line of code we write is yours at cutover. No license. No annual increase. No lock-in.

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.

Subscription POS runs ₱15K–40K per location per month. An Orkids build is one fixed fee covering every location — no per-location fee.

Subscription POS at 20 branches runs ₱300K+/month before HRIS or payroll. The one-time build pays for itself inside the first year. Your scope is confirmed on the first call.

The question is whether your POS connects to payroll, commissary, and the BIR EIS. If it does not, the brand is secondary.

Oracle MICROS, Toast, and Lightspeed are well-built point-of-sale tools. None were designed to transmit structured data to the BIR EIS under RR 11-2025 without a custom integration. We build EIS transmission as a first-class requirement.

Yes. Built to RR 11-2025 and RR 26-2025, with CAS registration support and a permit-to-transmit pathway for the BIR EIS.

The EIS integration transmits structured invoice data to the BIR API within the required window. The same compliance posture runs a top-ranked Philippine private hospital's billing in production today. The large-taxpayer deadline is 31 Dec 2026.

100% of collected service charges go to covered employees — including contractual staff — twice monthly, proportional to hours worked.

The payroll module computes this automatically and generates the records DOLE inspectors require. You do not reconstruct them manually before each inspection. The audit trail is system-generated from day one. (Source: DOLE DO 242-2024.)

Yes. The payroll engine applies the correct RTWPB regional rate per employee based on their assigned branch — Metro Manila, Cebu, Davao maintained separately.

Rate updates apply system-wide when RTWPB orders take effect. A new branch is a configuration, not a rebuild — the recipe library, POS setup, and payroll parameters copy to the new location the same day.
