Corporate Dining DX Service "BizEat" Begins Providing Services to UPSTA Japan LLC, Operator of Executive Networking Event REAL ApoLink

BizEat Co., Ltd., which operates the corporate dining DX platform "BizEat," announced that it has begun providing "BizEat" to UPSTA Japan LLC, which operates "REAL ApoLink," a small-scale, real-life networking event exclusively for executives and decision-makers. BizEat Co., Ltd. is headquartered in Minato-ku, Tokyo, with Representative Director Ryo Nagaki. UPSTA Japan LLC is also headquartered in Minato-ku, Tokyo, with Representative Executive Officer and President Shogo Kanno.

This provision aims to reduce the burden of "venue selection," "payment," and "cost management" in event operations, creating an environment where organizers can concentrate on fostering communication among participants.

Background of Provision: Three Challenges in Event Operations

"ApoLink" operates over 15 executive networking events per month. However, with traditional operating methods, the "unproductive business hours" increased proportionally with the number of events, posing the following challenges:

Inefficient Research: Increased time spent on extensive restaurant research to prevent venue selection monotony and on negotiating terms.

Financial Processing Time Loss: Complex accounting processes due to advance payments and tight administrative workload associated with cash flow management.

Stagnation of On-site Operations: Waste of on-site resources due to analog administrative tasks such as cash collection on the day and manual receipt handling.

These accumulated "administrative time losses" prevented event organizers from dedicating sufficient creative time to "matching participants" and "designing high-quality communication," which are their primary focus areas.

Effects After Provision: Three Key Points to Streamline Event Operations

Achieve up to 33% cost reduction* by utilizing carefully selected restaurants

The restaurants listed on "BizEat" are carefully selected establishments with a calm atmosphere and service quality suitable for executives and decision-makers. By offering special plans and discounted prices, appropriate pricing can be achieved, contributing to securing profitability while covering event operating costs.

*As of March 2026, discount rate for specific plans at partner restaurants.

Significantly reduce on-site reception work through advance payment

By introducing advance payment via credit card in cooperation with external payment services, the burden of on-site cash collection and receipt handling is reduced, enabling smooth event operations.

Improve cash flow with invoice payment support

Operating companies can use "month-end closing, next-month payment" invoice processing. This eliminates the need for advance payments, reducing the burden of cash flow management and supporting continuous event hosting.

"ApoLink" is not just a place for networking; it continues to grow rapidly as an offline marketing sales channel that creates new appointments and hot leads by connecting decision-makers. With over 15 events held monthly, the biggest challenge was that the administrative workload of operations, such as venue selection and complex payment flows, was starting to pressure the quality of matching, which should be the primary focus.

By introducing "BizEat," we have been freed from analog administrative tasks and have significantly improved our time performance (typa) in operations. This has enabled our operating staff to dedicate all resources to core tasks that should be prioritized, such as fostering communication among participants and designing more precise matching.

Through collaboration with "BizEat," we will provide participants with more value-added business opportunities and accelerate our evolution as the community where the most business negotiations are born in Japan.

Ryo Nagaki, Representative Director, BizEat Co., Ltd.

Dining and networking events are the most important occasions for creating 'connections' in business, but behind them lie vast analog tasks such as venue arrangements, payments, and expense settlements.

We are confident that providing "BizEat" to UPSTA Japan LLC, a rapidly growing company, is the first step in evolving event operations from mere 'administrative tasks' to a more value-added 'communication experience.'

"BizEat" maximizes the value of 'face-to-face' interactions in the Japanese business scene by connecting restaurants and operating companies with technology.
