Highlights

Sales Overview

Comparable store sales are exceeding guidance. The year-on-year decline in customer traffic is temporary due to heavy snowfall.

Topics

Menu

Revised the grand and promotional menus across core brands, contributing to increase in customer traffic and average check.

  • Gusto: Under the concept of "Oh, What a Deal! Gusto," we have revamped our grand menu, featuring our 999-yen steak and great-value lunch menus.
  • Syabu-Yo:Introduced a limited-time all-you-can-eat beef tongue menu.
  • Bamiyan: Strong performance of Taiwan Fair products (collaboration with Michelin 1-star 'MIPON'), with sales exceeding last year's volume.
Promotion
In conjunction with Gusto's grand menu revision, we generated online buzz and built customer anticipation through advance announcements on our owned social media channels.
Promotion

Promoted four types of collaboration desserts featuring "Yukimi Daifuku" through both online and offline channels, contributing to customer traffic.

Store expansion

New store openings: 2 (Syabu-Yo, Suki-Ya) / Brand conversions: 7 (Sukesan Udon: 3, Syabu-Yo: 2, Hachiro Soba and Tomato & Onion: 1 each)

ESG

Received "Bronze Award" at the ESG Finance Awards Japan as the first company of food service industry from the Ministry of the Environment.

Note
Data is consolidated domestic sales at restaurant level and does not include overseas sales. Total sales and Customer traffic are calculated on a monthly sales basis.
Same store (vs LY) is defined as a store which has been open for 13 months or longer (includes stores which have undergone brand conversions). YoY ATP only includes ATP from Eat-In.
Customer traffic includes traffic from the delivery and take-out businesses calculated in the below manner.
Customer traffic from delivery = Delivery sales / ATP for Eat-in; Customer traffic from take-out = Take-out sales / ATP for Eat-in
