LAMP's core business revolves around its "Take Eats" service, a mobile order and payment platform designed specifically for bakeries, confectionery shops, and restaurants offering takeout. The platform enables businesses to quickly establish an online pre-order and payment system, helping them to digitize analog operations, improve efficiency, and increase sales. The service is offered as a subscription-based model (SaaS). The company's mission is to empower the local food industry through digital technology, addressing challenges such as labor shortages.
