Keeping Dates Safe with 'Reservation Support'

The popular matching app known as 'with', managed by Enito Group, has taken significant steps to enhance user safety by rolling out a new feature called 'Reservation Support'. This initiative aims to provide users with safe dining options during their dates in the Kanto region. The essence of this service is to prevent unexpected restaurant overcharging, an issue that has become increasingly prevalent.

Dating can already be a complex and nerve-wracking experience, especially when it involves choosing the right venue. 'With' targets a demographic primarily composed of earnest individuals in their twenties looking for serious relationships. To assist users in making informed dining choices, 'Reservation Support' allows users to smoothly book tables at safe, pre-vetted restaurants directly through the app. From Japanese cuisine to Italian and Spanish dishes, users have a broad array of dining options to choose from—all without incurring additional fees.

As various forms of dating scams have become rampant, particularly those involving deceptive pricing at dining establishments, 'with' has felt an obligation to safeguard its users. Recent incidents of diners being led to overpriced venues, often facilitated through malicious invitations via other dating apps or social media, have raised alarms among authorities, prompting a call for vigilance against such practices.

In collaboration with the Tokyo Metropolitan Police, Enito Group is actively conducting awareness campaigns that target users residing in Tokyo, Kanagawa, Chiba, and Saitama. These efforts aim to educate them about the risks associated with dining out on dates. Furthermore, in April 2025, the establishment of an advisory board composed of legal experts and consumer protection specialists is on the horizon. This board will work towards resolving social issues surrounding dating apps, marking a commitment to user safety that extends beyond just launching the new feature.

In the words of Katsuyuki Aoshima, a board member and lawyer specializing in scam prevention, 'Many people find the task of choosing a restaurant for a date quite daunting. Malicious actors exploit this vulnerability, particularly targeting male users of dating apps and escorting them to restaurants that inflate bills. The 'Reservation Support' feature by 'with' serves as a protective barrier, allowing both parties to agree on an appropriate venue without falling prey to these 'overcharging' scams. This approach not only aids in preventing such unpleasant situations but also fosters a conducive environment for a date.'

Enito Group's aspirations extend beyond merely being a dating app; they strive to become a life-enabling infrastructure by supporting a variety of life events blossoming from these romantic encounters. With continued innovations and safety measures, they are paving the way for new societal value.

How 'Reservation Support' Works

For now, 'Reservation Support' is available only to users in the Kanto region after a match has been established and a series of preliminary messages exchanged:
1. The inviting user taps the 'Reservation Support' banner in their chat room with the match.
2. They select potential restaurant candidates and proposed dates.
3. Required user details like name, phone number, and credit card information are then entered.
4. The inviting user reviews all terms and confirms the recommendation.

Following this initial process, both users can finalize their reservations through simple actions within the app. Once confirmed, both parties would receive a notification, enabling them to enjoy the day at ease, knowing they’ve taken steps to protect themselves.

Enito Group’s Trusted Safety Measures

Enito Group, overseeing the apps 'with' and 'Omiai', has a robust array of safety and security measures in place. They actively monitor interactions within the apps using advanced AI technologies, promptly identifying and banning malicious users, thereby promoting a safer online community.

Future initiatives will include heightened detection techniques and reinforcing the awareness that linking up with new acquaintances via social media requires caution. As the landscape of dating evolves, so too does Enito Group's commitment to fostering safe and enjoyable experiences for all users.
