Multi-Location Restaurant Chain Expansion

Client: Filipino Restaurant Group
Challenge: Rapid Expansion with Consistent Equipment
Scope: 12 New Restaurant Locations

A growing restaurant chain with a distinctive Filipino-fusion concept was planning an ambitious expansion of 12 new locations across the Philippines. They needed to ensure consistency in food quality, operational efficiency, and brand experience across all venues while managing costs effectively during the expansion.

Crossglobe developed a comprehensive kitchen equipment and dining supplies sourcing program that standardized specifications across all locations while accommodating site-specific requirements. We created detailed equipment packages that balanced performance, durability, and budget considerations, focusing on equipment that would support their signature menu items.

We negotiated volume pricing with manufacturers, consolidated orders to optimize shipping costs, and created a phased delivery schedule aligned with their construction timeline. Our team also developed custom specifications for front-of-house items that maintained the brand's distinctive aesthetic while ensuring commercial durability.

By managing the entire sourcing process—from specification development to delivery coordination—we allowed the client's team to focus on other critical aspects of their expansion. The standardized equipment program also simplified staff training, maintenance procedures, and operational consistency across all locations.

Results Achieved

Reduced equipment costs by 22% through volume negotiation and strategic sourcing

Decreased average kitchen setup time from 6 weeks to 3.5 weeks per location

Achieved 100% consistency in food quality metrics across all new locations

We worked closely with the property's design team to identify and source custom furniture and décor elements that reflected the resort's new design concept while meeting commercial durability standards for the demanding tropical environment.

For the food and beverage outlets, we developed specialized equipment packages that enhanced culinary capabilities while improving energy efficiency. We identified and vetted manufacturers who could meet the project's quality standards and delivery timeline, and implemented a rigorous quality control process that included factory inspections and pre-shipment testing.
