Digital Salon Association Launches Exclusive Gourmet Coupon Benefit for Corporate Salon Members

The Digital Salon Association, operated by Eye U ive se Inc. and located in Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo, will begin offering Benefit One Inc.’s “Gourmet Coupon” service as a new employee benefit for its corporate salon members. Salon owners encounter more occasions for business dining than many expect, including meals with clients and staff appreciation gatherings. However, amid busy days filled with salon work, concerns such as having no time to find good restaurants, managing entertainment costs, and insufficient employee benefits are often pushed aside. To address these real needs from the field, the association has added this service to its member benefits. Gourmet Coupon is a corporate dining privilege service provided by Benefit One Inc. When two or more people visit an eligible restaurant, one designated course meal for the member is free of charge. The service covers more than 180 high-end restaurants, mainly in Tokyo and Osaka. It can be used across a wide range of occasions, from special family meals to formal business dinners with partners. This is a special offering exclusively for corporate salon members of the Digital Salon Association, providing benefits tailored to the beauty industry. Before: Each business meal required researching restaurants from scratch, balancing budget and quality, and spending significant time before making a reservation. After: Members can quickly choose from more than 180 carefully selected restaurants, while reducing entertainment costs substantially because one course meal is free. Key differentiators include exclusive availability to members of an association specializing in the beauty industry, bundled with Digital Salon Association membership backed by adoption by more than 550 corporations; more than 180 carefully selected high-quality restaurants, addressing the common issue of limited usable venues in general gourmet services; and low implementation barriers with zero operational burden, as members can start using the service through an activation key issued once every six months without complex procedures. Going forward, the association will use the Gourmet Coupon service as a starting point to further expand its benefits package for corporate salon members. It aims to build a comprehensive management support platform that helps strengthen recruitment, improve staff retention, and reduce entertainment costs for business owners, while promoting DX in the beauty industry and supporting an environment where owners can focus on people. The next event will be held on Tuesday, May 26, 2026, from 5:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. Speakers include Mr. Nishida of SALOWIN, Mr. NOBU of NNN, Mr. Miyachi of SHACHU, Mr. Nita of RITA, Mr. KANTARO of LIM, Mr. Sugawara of SSS, Mr. Sakurai of ONE’s, Mr. Ko of KORAZON, and Mr. Morikoshi of Eye U ive se. The venue is Sphere Tower Tennozu 15F, 2-2-8 Higashi-Shinagawa, Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo, with online participation available.
