Abstract

This chapter delves into the critical role of logistics management systems in optimizing resources and enhancing profitability within the gastronomic industry. It begins by emphasizing the need for such systems in a competitive global market, where maintaining quality and adapting to customer demands are paramount. The study examines the transformation of the foodservice industry due to technological advancements and modern management approaches, distinguishing between traditional restaurants and fast-food establishments. The implementation of a logistics management system is shown to optimize operational processes, reduce losses, and increase profitability. Additionally, the chapter explores the importance of cost management, inventory control, and human resources management in achieving these goals. Through a detailed case study, the authors demonstrate how the adoption of such a system can significantly improve supply management and operating profit. The research also highlights the need for employee training and development to ensure business growth and customer satisfaction. Overall, this chapter offers valuable insights and practical strategies for enhancing the competitiveness and sustainability of gastronomic companies.
