How Gwanghwamun Mijin Elevates Authentic Korean Dining with MEGAPOS QR Ordering & POS Solutions

Located in the heart of Far East Square, Gwanghwamun Mijin brings a slice of Seoul’s culinary culture to Singapore’s bustling CBD. Originating from an established restaurant brand in Seoul, Mijin has built a loyal following for its signature buckwheat soba noodles (naengmyeon), a Korean-style cold noodle dish served in light, refreshing broth.

Unlike most Korean restaurants that focus on BBQ or hot stews, Mijin stands out with its refined simplicity. Diners can enjoy hand-pulled buckwheat noodles made in-house, perfectly chilled broths, and premium toppings such as salmon, perilla leaves, and house-made dumplings. The minimalist decor, calm atmosphere, and quality-driven menu make it a favourite lunch spot for working professionals and a comfort dining option for evening diners.

But with great popularity comes operational challenges especially during lunch peaks and dinner rushes. That’s where MEGAPOS’s integrated QR Ordering and POS system helps restaurants like Gwanghwamun Mijin streamline service, reduce manual work, and boost overall dining satisfaction.

Here’s how MEGAPOS supports modern F&B brands like Mijin in bringing efficiency, insight, and innovation to every part of their operations.

QR Ordering: Efficiency Meets Convenience

At Mijin, lunch hours can get busy quickly. With MEGAPOS QR Ordering, customers can simply scan, browse, order, and pay directly from their table. No waiting for staff, no missed orders.

This improves efficiency in three ways:

• Faster order processing, reducing wait time between order and service.
• Higher table turnover, especially during peak hours.
• Accurate order entry, minimizing miscommunication between guests and servers.

This allows the staff to focus more on hospitality — greeting guests, serving dishes promptly, and maintaining that welcoming Korean dining experience.

Smart Upselling & Cross-Selling That Works

Every digital menu on MEGAPOS can be configured with intelligent upselling prompts. For example:

“Add handmade dumplings for just $3” or “Pair your buckwheat soba with a chilled tea.”

These AI-driven recommendations feel natural to the customer yet drive higher average order value (AOV) for the restaurant.

For Mijin, it’s a win-win — customers enjoy a more complete dining experience, and the restaurant increases its sales per transaction without additional staff effort.

Data-Driven Menu Engineering

Through MEGAPOS POS analytics, Mijin gains visibility into exactly what dishes drive sales and profits.

• Identify “Star Dishes” — like their Signature Buckwheat Noodles or Salmon Soba — which consistently sell well and yield good margins.
• Spot “Slow Movers” that might need rebranding or rotation.

With this insight, the management can make informed menu decisions highlighting bestsellers or adjusting pricing strategically. This keeps the menu lean, relevant, and profitable.

Personalized Promotions & Membership Engagement

Beyond operations, MEGAPOS helps Mijin build lasting relationships with diners.

Through integrated CRM and membership tools, customers can easily sign up when ordering or paying. From there, Mijin can:

• Send targeted promotions based on visit frequency or favourite dishes.
• Offer eVouchers for special occasions like birthdays.
• Reward loyal customers with tiered benefits or repeat-visit bonuses.

By turning one-time visitors into repeat diners, Mijin strengthens its community of regulars — a key driver of long-term revenue in Singapore’s competitive F&B scene.

Predictive Sales & Demand Forecasting

With over 80 seats across indoor and outdoor areas, anticipating crowd flow is crucial for Mijin’s kitchen and service team.

MEGAPOS’s AI-powered forecasting tools help predict sales by day and hour, using historical data to guide staffing and prep. This ensures Mijin can:

• Prep just the right amount of noodles and broth daily.
• Reduce wastage and ingredient spoilage.
• Plan manpower accurately without overstaffing.

The result? A smoother operation with improved cost efficiency.

Revenue Integrity with Fraud Detection

In high-traffic restaurants, manual oversight of every transaction is impossible. MEGAPOS’s fraud detection algorithms automatically flag unusual voids, unauthorized discounts, or suspicious refunds — protecting revenue and keeping operations transparent.

For restaurants like Mijin, this safeguard ensures accountability without micromanagement.

Smoother Front & Back-of-House Operations

When customers order via QR, the request flows directly to the kitchen display system (KDS) or printer, categorized by dish type and course. No need to re-enter data or check slips manually.

This reduces:

• Delays between order and preparation.
• Errors in complex customizations (like extra spice or no ice).
• Stress during busy service windows.

The result is an efficient kitchen flow — every bowl of noodles reaches diners fresh, fast, and accurate.

Real-Time Business Insights at a Glance

MEGAPOS’s cloud-based dashboard lets Mijin’s management track performance anytime, anywhere — from a tablet, laptop, or phone.

They can instantly view:

• Hourly sales trends.
• Top-performing dishes.
• Table turnover and average order values.

Whether planning promotions or daily targets, these insights help owners make smarter, faster decisions.

Keeping Up with Market Trends

Food trends shift quickly in Singapore. MEGAPOS’s trend-tracking analytics identify emerging menu trends across customer preferences and sales data.

If “spicy cold noodles” or “Korean lunch combos” start trending, Mijin can quickly adapt, launching new variants that match consumer interest — keeping the menu exciting and relevant.

Tradition Meets Technology

Gwanghwamun Mijin is proof that authentic tradition and modern technology can thrive together. While the restaurant preserves the craftsmanship of Korean buckwheat soba, MEGAPOS enables them to run more efficiently, engage customers intelligently, and make data-backed decisions confidently.

With MEGAPOS’s all-in-one QR Ordering, POS, and Membership CRM solutions, Mijin can continue to focus on what truly matters — serving great food, with great service.
