Customer traffic rose 5.8% YoY, boosted by capturing leisure demand during the long holidays and the success of collaboration and fair menus.

The revision of the fair menu at major brands contributed to an increase in both customer traffic and ATP.

Bamiyan： Launch of the "Seabura Natsu no Jin" campaign featuring "Bamiro Soba," targeting a wide range of customers and driving strong sales.
Syabu-Yo：Launch of the "Beef Tongue Fair," a hit every year, capturing demand for premium dining.
Sukesan Udon：Launch of the "Sukesan Udon Anago (Sea Eel) Fair," capturing early summer seasonal demand.

Gusto : Distribution of 26% off coupons targeting 21 major menu items to boost customer traffic.

Extensive media promotions, including TV broadcasts, radio commercials, and train channels, to support Bamiyan's fair menu revision.

6 new locations (4 Syabu-Yo, 1 each of Gusto and Sukiya)
4 brand conversions (2 Sukesan Udon, 1 each of Tomato & Onion and Tenshin Tenshin)

Addition of "Shinpachi Shokudo" to the group to expand the brand portfolio and accelerate store openings leveraging group synergies.

Selection as a constituent of the global ESG investment index "Dow Jones Best-in-Class World Index," a first for a Japanese restaurant company.
