■ Background of the Official Membership Reservation System "The HUGE CLUB" surpassing 500,000 members
The official membership reservation system "The HUGE CLUB" is a membership service for customers who use the restaurants we operate. We give back 5% (2% during lunch time) of the food and beverage bill as a reward, which can be used as 1 reward = 1 yen during your next visit. It is designed to be used in a wide range of situations, from daily meals to special occasions like anniversaries.
* Reservations are required at the time of visit to earn and use rewards.
Furthermore, in addition to reward redemptions, "The HUGE CLUB" provides experiential value that enriches the time spent at the restaurant through member-only benefits and events.
- Invitations to new store reception parties
- Early notifications of news such as events
- Member-priority wine tasting events
- Member-only dinner events
- Invitations to tasting events
* As of September 2023

Through these efforts, we are shifting the value from "eating out = consumption" to "eating out = experience," leading to the building of relationships loved by many customers for a long time.
Additionally, behind the expansion in membership numbers is a service design that allows customers to enjoy "differences in experience" according to the concept and scene of each restaurant, in addition to benefit designs linked to visit experiences. By catering to a wide range of needs from daily use to special occasions, we have increased customer satisfaction and achieved steady growth along with the promotion of continuous use.
