SET-listed S&P Syndicate Plc, the operator of the S&P bakery and restaurant chain, is to adapt its business operation to cope with high operational costs, with the launch of various tools such as work automation in the second half of this year.
Vitoon Silaon, the company's chief executive, said that although the Covid-19 situation in the first half of 2022 had been better than the corresponding period in 2021, and consumers are more confident about eating out, restaurant operators are still confronted by threats including high oil prices and a weak baht, which has resulted in a sharp rise in the prices of imported raw materials such as wheat.
