GoGo Curry Introduces Cashless Experience at Shimbashi
In a groundbreaking move towards modernizing the dining experience, GoGo Curry Group, headquartered in Kanazawa, Ishikawa, Japan, has announced the implementation of a cashless payment system at its GoGo Curry Shimbashi Park location starting September 1, 2025. This initiative marks the company's first step in adopting a cashless concept, aimed at providing customers with a speedy and convenient dining experience.
Enhancing the Dining Experience
The shift to a cashless environment is designed to streamline transactions, significantly increasing the speed at which customers can order and enjoy their meals. The new cashless vending machines will support various payment methods, including contactless cards and QR code systems, ensuring a hygienic and efficient process. This also sets a welcoming stage for international customers who may encounter language or currency barriers.
Features of a Cashless Specialty Store
- - Hygienic and Smart Transactions: Emphasizing non-contact payments, customers can choose from options like touchless cards and popular QR code applications, ensuring a swift and clean way to pay.
- - Operational Efficiency: With cash management no longer required, staff can dedicate their efforts to cooking and serving, focusing explicitly on delivering the 'addictive taste' that GoGo Curry is known for.
- - Global Accessibility: This new cashless approach caters to diverse international customers, ensuring that they can enjoy their meals without the hassle of dealing with currency exchange or language differences. Whether visiting for tourism or business, patrons can look forward to a seamless dining experience.
Message from the CEO
Masaru Nishibata, the CEO and representative director of GoGo Curry Group, remarked, “Our company strives to respond to the evolving needs of the times. The introduction of this cashless specialty store is both a challenge and an opportunity for us to offer our customers new conveniences while paving the way for future standards.
