It feels like every week, another café or restaurant in Singapore is shutting its doors. Rising rents, manpower shortages, and increasing ingredient costs have made it harder than ever for F&B operators to stay afloat.

Running an F&B business here means wearing too many hats. You’re managing staff schedules, keeping up with delivery platforms, handling landlords, and making sure food costs don’t spiral. On top of that, many try to do everything in-house, from prepping sauces to baking desserts, which stretches resources even thinner.

That’s where smart outsourcing comes in.

Instead of producing every single item yourself, partnering with reliable suppliers for ancillary products can take the pressure off. Think of ice cream, cakes, or specialty desserts. These are high-demand items that customers love, but they don’t need to be made from scratch in your kitchen. By outsourcing them to specialists, you can:

• Save on specialised manpower: No need to hire or train extra pastry chefs.

• Cut operational costs: Reduce wastage and lower production expenses.

• Expand your menu instantly: Add desserts, drinks, or pairings without investing in new equipment.

• Focus on what matters: Free up time and energy to refine your core food and service.

At The Ice Cream & Cookie Co., we partner with cafés, restaurants, and catering businesses across Singapore to provide ice cream sandwiches, pints, cakes, and nostalgic Asian-inspired flavours that customers already love. This lets operators keep their menus fresh and appealing without adding extra workload.

In today’s F&B landscape, the businesses that survive are the ones that work smarter, not harder. Outsourcing isn’t about cutting corners, it’s about scaling sustainably and giving your customers the best experience while keeping your operations lean.

If you’re looking to add quality ice cream or desserts to your menu without the stress, let’s talk.
