The Growth Journey of 'Iio Office Ebisu'

'Iio Office Ebisu', operated by Iio Office Co., Ltd., located right in front of the east exit of Ebisu station, has continuously prospered, leading to its second expansion scheduled for December 2025. Following its recent success, this expansion reflects the trends in revenue growth and workspace demands across Japan.

Initial Launch and Renovation

Launched originally as a franchise, the Ebisu location underwent a significant transformation in July 2022 after Iio Office took over due to the franchise’s exit from the market. By implementing a fully automated, unmanned model, it became a pioneering location in a prime area, operating 24/7 with a unique layout focusing on private offices catering specifically to individuals and small groups. The renovation introduced:

• - Private Rooms: Designed with one- to two-person capacity in mind.
• - Open Spaces & Meeting Rooms: Flexibility to accommodate various needs.
• - E Solution System: An in-house developed automated management system that streamlined operations without requiring personnel.

Rapid Revenue Growth

The renovation led to an astonishing tenfold increase in revenue within six months. By leveraging the unmanned system, Iio Office not only cut labor costs but also enhanced customer convenience. This model transformed the coworking space into a preferred choice for professionals in Ebisu, exemplifying the success of a new paradigm in workspace operations.

First Expansion in February 2024

Given the growing demand for private office spaces, Iio Office Ebisu expanded its facilities by incorporating the 4th floor, enhancing its offerings with new rooms:

• - Private Offices Added: 14 single-person rooms and 2 two-person rooms.
• - Meeting Room Availability: Addition of a 4-person meeting room.
• - Reservation System: A dedicated booking floor to meet the specific needs for ensuring secured seats.

The expansion resulted in a substantial rise in sales, exceeding the revenue from the previous renovation by more than twenty times. By facilitating advance bookings for users, it helped in capturing new clientele and maintaining high occupancy rates.

Second Expansion: December 2025

With consistent high member growth and utilization rates since the last expansion, Iio Office decided to add the 3rd floor to its premises, further optimizing the layout across three floors:

• - New Office Rooms: Included 5 single-person and 4 two-person offices, along with two various-sized meeting rooms.
• - Larger Footprint: Expanding beyond 90 tsubo (approx. 297 square meters) across three floors can support new business models.

Benefits of the Latest Expansion

The compact expansion allowed management to minimize operational tasks, such as cleaning and replenishments, while significantly enhancing the number of available offices. This additional capacity not only met increasing demands but also improved overall revenue streams, including income from virtual offices and meeting room rentals.

The Tech-Driven Unmanned Model

Central to the success of the Iio Office Ebisu is its advanced management system, 'E Solution', which ensures seamless operation without human supervision. Using a dedicated application, users can:

• - Effortlessly Reserve and Pay: Accessing functionalities through a user-friendly app.
• - Check-in and Check-out Flexibility: Allowing for a self-service approach tailored to any schedule.

This model contributes significantly to the operational efficacy of the space, allowing Iio Office to maximize potential revenue while minimizing fixed costs such as salaries.

Conclusion: A Model for the Future

'Iio Office Ebisu' exemplifies the synergy between automation and profitability in coworking spaces. Its methodology of focusing on user-friendly design, leveraging technology for unmanned operations, and tailoring prices to local needs serves as a template for future coworking and shared office spaces. As they open doors for future franchise opportunities, they invite those interested in entering or enhancing their presence in the coworking market to consider these successful strategies.
