byFood Launches New Inbound Customer Attraction Plan
In an exciting development for the dining sector, byFood, a gourmet platform designed for foreign visitors in Japan, has announced the launch of its new service: the Inbound Customer Attraction Enhancement Plan. This initiative, run by Tablecross Inc., aims to strengthen restaurants' ability to draw in foreign tourists through robust marketing and reservation strategies.
Supporting Restaurants from All Angles
The core of this new plan is to provide an all-encompassing support system for restaurants, which often struggle to reach their potential customer base due to a lack of marketing knowledge and multi-language support. Such restaurants can now benefit from a full suite of services, including:
- - Multi-language listings of restaurant information, enabling better communication with potential guests.
- - Social media promotions tailored to English-speaking audiences, which offer a more dynamic way of reaching international clients.
- - Creation of multi-language pages to showcase the restaurant’s unique offerings.
- - International promotions that expand outreach beyond Japan.
- - Reservation management, including pre-payment systems to minimize no-show counts.
Why Is This Service Necessary?
The influx of foreign tourists traveling to Japan has been on the rise, with 2025 expected to see a record 42.68 million travelers. Approximately 85% of these tourists have expressed their eagerness to experience Japanese cuisine even before their arrival. However, many restaurants find it challenging to take advantage of this growing demand due to a lack of effective marketing strategies and resources to communicate with potential customers.
By offering a comprehensive plan, byFood is committed to empowering restaurants to maintain a continuous dialogue with a prospective international clientele. This initiative is not only about reservations but also about spreading the rich narrative of Japanese culinary culture to a global audience.
Exclusive Startup Plan for 100 Restaurants
To celebrate the launch of the Inbound Customer Attraction Enhancement Plan, byFood is rolling out a limited-time offer called the Startup Plan, available to only 100 restaurants. The details of this attractive initiative include:
- - Monthly Fee: ¥50,000 (excluding tax) plus a 5% commission on sales via byFood.
- - Minimum Engagement: A commitment of 3 months, after which restaurants can switch to the performance-based plan.
- - Provided Services: Marketing boosts within platforms, listings on partnered sites, production of multi-language pages, and the creation of promotional videos.
The company will customize services based on individual restaurant needs, ensuring tailored support.
Proven Results
Initial adoption of byFood’s platform has already yielded promising results, with reports of significant increases in reservations and customer footfall just one month following the launch of restaurant listings. Additionally, strategies such as pre-payment for reservations help mitigate issues like no-shows and ease the operational burdens on restaurant staff.
Future Directions
Looking ahead, byFood aims to continuously support restaurants in improving their inbound marketing tactics while promoting the beauty of Japanese cuisine and local cultures to international tourists. The company is not only focused on business expansion but also on social contributions. Through their “Food for Happiness” program, byFood donates ten school meal portions for every reservation made, thereby contributing to food support efforts for children worldwide.
