About the Food Services Industry Digital Plan (IDP)
Aligned to the Food Services Industry Transformation Map (ITM), the Food Services Industry Digital Plan (IDP) is jointly developed by Enterprise Singapore (EnterpriseSG) and IMDA, in partnership with the industry.
The refreshed Food Services IDP launched in November 2022 will address trends observed in the Food Services sector, such as the shift in consumer behaviour towards digital ordering, e-commerce and food delivery, as well as assist Food Services SMEs to overcome challenges and go digital.
Four new solution categories unique to the Food Services sector were added in the refreshed Food Services IDP to support Food Services SMEs in tapping more advanced digital solutions to further their digitalisation journey in Singapore. They are:
- Connected business suite;
- Service robotics;
- Food waste management; and
- Smart central kitchen management system.
