Achieving Operational Efficiency in Ingredient, Menu, and Recipe Management

Supporting 'Food Safety and Security' by making the product specification database available on the internet,
Retailers and suppliers can share quality, specifications, nutritional components, and allergen information!
By linking product specifications and menu masters,
operational efficiency in ingredient, menu, and recipe management can be expected!

Since the food fraud issues in the hotel and restaurant industry came to light,
the awareness of consumers regarding 'food safety and security' has increased significantly.
In this context, food manufacturers and food service and retail companies are receiving more inquiries from buyers regarding the ingredients, additives,
and allergens of the food they handle.
In such cases, companies are required to quickly check and respond to product specifications related to food,
and establishing a system environment for creating and transcribing information related to product specifications
has become an important issue.

*Product specifications refer to documents that describe quality information, allergen information, nutritional components, etc., for alcoholic beverages and processed foods.

: Product specification information is not shared with headquarters; Information is not updated and is outdated

: Effort required for recalls; If using paper, transcription errors occur; It is difficult to check what has changed; If the specifications of ingredients change, the menu also
needs to be maintained; When problems occur, it is impossible to search

: Need to respond to the format of food service companies and
need to submit by adding missing information

Decreased work efficiency, increased costs, increased risks, decreased corporate image

Features of the Product Specification Management System

Management of allergens, country of origin, nutritional components, etc.: Eliminates transcription errors due to paper operations,
and allows for change history management.

Systematization of recall operations for cost reduction: The recalled specifications can be
shared internally.

Output of product specifications discussed and aggregated by industry opinions: Complies with the 'Standard Product Specification (SSSP/2014)
First Edition' established by the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries in FY2014.

Management of specification data linkage from other systems: Avoids double entry.

What is a Standard Product Specification?

This product specification complies with the template of the 'Standard Product Specification (SSSP/2014)
First Edition' established by the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries in FY2014.

The Need for a Unified Industry Format

Due to differences in formats, manufacturers face labor and costs in creating product specifications, while retail and food service industries face labor and costs in requesting and urging product specifications.
There is a growing call for review within the industry.

GulfNet promotes the formulation and dissemination of standard templates (information items and transfer methods) related to products as a supporting company of the Product Information Transfer Standard.

Linkage with other companies' specification management systems is possible.
By importing specification data, the burden of master registration for product managers is reduced.
Quality information (allergens, nutritional components) within specifications can be imported, aggregated, and analyzed.

Integrated management of products, menus, and recipes at once: Products, menus, and recipes are connected in one
so there is no need to make master changes individually.

Cost calculation when changing recipes and menus: If there are changes in the ingredients used,
it will be immediately reflected in the cost and recalculated.

Reverse menu search based on ingredients: If the procurement of ingredients is stopped,
you can easily see which menus are affected.

You can centrally manage product specifications and
menu information that are managed separately.

If there is an incident or accident with an ingredient, you can easily search which menu
it is used in.

You can search for menus based on used ingredients.

How many menus include ingredients from China?
How many menus contain allergens (eggs)?

and more can be searched.

You can extract menus that use ingredients from China: Hamburger; Chicken Burger
