[Asia Economy Reporter Eunmo Koo] A customized telecommunications product for the food service industry that allows management of everything from tax and accounting to recruitment, delivery, and quarantine in one place is being launched. Small business owners in the food service sector can now receive professional help with unfamiliar overall business management and focus on their core business of food.

On the 13th, LG Uplus held an online press conference and announced the launch of the 'U+ Our Store Package,' which allows customers to freely choose and subscribe to store management support solutions, internet phone, intelligent CCTV, and more based on their store’s needs, with Payment Safe Internet as the basic service.

The U+ Our Store Package introduced by LG Uplus features nine management support solutions tailored for self-employed operators running food service stores, added to the existing internet service. It was developed in collaboration with CEO Baek Jong-won’s The Born Korea.

The store management support solutions consist of six services usable across all industries?▲Sechingu (tax), ▲Cash Note (sales management), ▲Alba Heaven (recruitment), ▲Samsung Card (finance), ▲Medius (health checkups), ▲LG Electronics (rental)?and three partners specialized for the food service industry?▲Baedal Minjok (delivery), ▲Tomato Seven (pest control and cleaning), and ▲Dodo Cart (food material cost management).

Subscribers to the Payment Safe Internet, which costs 25,300 KRW per month, can use the store management support solutions free of charge for up to 12 months. Small business owners who subscribe to the package can check detailed information about the solutions through ‘U+ Boss Plaza.’

A new ‘Store Safety CCTV’ that allows remote monitoring of kitchen safety and cleanliness is also being introduced. The Store Safety CCTV features a special camera capable of 360-degree vertical and horizontal adjustment and a variable-focus camera with up to 5x zoom, enabling management without blind spots. Recorded footage can be remotely viewed and managed via a mobile app and PC program. With growing interest in safe food, the CCTV aims to reduce customers’ anxiety.

LG Uplus has decided to implement this system at The Born Korea’s 270 stores and Domino’s Pizza’s 108 stores and plans to enhance the system so that general customers can also check store footage in real time in the future. Up to eight cameras can be installed, and the operating cost is 13,200 KRW per camera per month.

Considering the high volume of incoming calls typical in food service stores, the internet phone service has also been improved. Three additional services?call connection tone, caller ID, and call forwarding?as well as the 080 visit entry management service used for COVID-19 quarantine are provided free of charge.

LG Uplus plans to strengthen the competitiveness of its telecommunications products by expanding cooperation with leading partners across various industries and enhancing industry-specific specialized services. Through these specialized services, the company aims to increase new B2B subscribers by more than 40% compared to last year and achieve over 300% sales growth by 2025.

Im Jang-hyuk, head of LG Uplus’s Enterprise Infrastructure Business Group, said, “Launching products targeting specific industries for small business owners is a new attempt never seen before. We plan to expand specialized products to store-based retail and office-type businesses following the food service industry. We will continue to provide sincere products to small business owners by expanding partnerships with industry-leading companies.”
