Design One Japan Co., Ltd. (CEO: Yasuo Takabatake, TSE First Section: 6048) released a new search function for restaurants offering takeout and delivery on June 11th on Ekiten, a restaurant review and ranking website operated by the company.
Approximately 4% of restaurants listed on Ekiten responded that they have started offering takeout services as a measure to prevent infection.
According to a survey conducted in May by our research organization, Ekiten Research Institute, 130 out of 360 restaurants responded that they had "changed their services to takeout and other options" to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Amid requests to refrain from business, approximately 40% of restaurants have refrained from dine-in service and have started offering takeout services. While the state of emergency has been lifted, the government's "new lifestyle" includes a provision that calls for "meals to be taken out, delivered, or ordered." At Ekiten, we believe that even after COVID-19 has subsided to a certain extent, restaurant patronage will continue to diversify, including by offering takeout and delivery options, compared to before the COVID-19 pandemic.
To make it easier for users to find restaurants, we have released a search function that narrows down the search to restaurants that offer takeout and delivery.
When searching for restaurants in the gourmet genre, you can narrow down your search by area, specific conditions, and even by using the "takeout" and "delivery" options to find the restaurant you want to use.
Ekiten will continue to develop new features and improve the quality of the site to provide a better place for users looking for stores to meet and discover with stores looking to increase their customer attraction.
