Executive Summary
Open Pantry is revolutionising the hospitality industry by offering a streamlined, digital ordering platform designed specifically for restaurants and wholesale suppliers. This innovative solution replaces outdated, manual ordering methods with an intuitive platform that enhances efficiency and accuracy, enabling the hospitality industry to keep up with increasing demand and complexity. With an initial market focus in Australia, Open Pantry is poised for international expansion, targeting key markets in Europe, North America, and Asia.
The Problem
Over 90% of orders in the restaurant industry still rely on manual processes like email, text, and phone calls. These outdated methods are inefficient, time-consuming, and prone to error, causing operational delays and revenue losses across the hospitality supply chain. As consumer expectations for speed and accuracy rise, restaurants and suppliers need a modern, centralized ordering solution that aligns with the digital economy.
