Important results from the project
Shared Plate has developed a virtual market hall for mutual restaurant cooperatives that makes it easier for customers, suppliers and restaurants to do business. The restaurants´ various offers can more easily reach customers. The IT system combines cash flow with booking witch makes it easier for restaurants to plan production and for customers to find alternatives in the same place. The open association form makes it easy for new members to join. A public aesthetic platform with functional solutions is further developed after the project ends.
Expected long term effects
The restaurant cooperative is a unique cooperative model for collaboration between the restaurateurs and between the restaurateurs and their stakeholders. The model has received attention throughout Sweden and is being developed in more places. Through the virtual market hall with its facilitating functions, the opportunity to develop the project for further dissemination increases significantly. The benefits with collaborating between competitors and digitize a non-digital industry, facilitates scale up and generate larger orders.
