■ The 'fun of pouring' attracts customers. A new customer attraction hook through tasting experiences
Today, consumers value not just purchasing 'goods,' but 'experiences' that can only be obtained there.
'TapToYou' adds the entertainment value of 'pouring what you want to drink, as much as you want, by yourself' to stores. Since it can be provided in 1ml units, casual tasting comparisons of premium or craft beers can be easily realized. We propose a 'new form of hospitality' that maximizes the satisfaction of hotel guests and store visitors while keeping labor costs down.
■ Main Features
Sales by weight in 1ml units | Provided without waste at the 'desired amount'
Operational efficiency | Solves labor shortages through self-service provision
Improvement of customer experience | The fun of 'comparing drinks' poured by yourself
Effective use of space | Converts existing space into a revenue area
Stand type / Built-in type
■ TapToYou Future Rollout

TapToYou is not just a tool for saving labor, but a 'mechanism to increase experiential value.' We propose it as a new option that responds with positive value to the challenge of labor shortages. Under the concept of 'from provision to experience,' we aim to upgrade places that simply provide beverages into high value-added spaces where users are the main characters.
