Acquisition of New Customers
'Rocket Now Ads' is an advertising service that leverages AI-driven automatic optimization to help restaurants increase exposure and improve sales. While users are using the app, ads for targeted restaurants are displayed in prominent locations such as the main screen, genre pages, and search result pages. Advertising impression opportunities and costs are dynamically optimized by AI, realizing reach to users who are highly likely to be interested in the target restaurant. It is a pay-per-click model where fees are not incurred just for displaying the ad, but only when a user clicks on it.

The service primarily offers the following three benefits:
Sales boost through increased exposure - Ads are displayed in placements likely to lead to orders, expanding the restaurant's exposure opportunities and expecting increased sales.

Strengthened approach to target customers - Owners can choose to target either 'all customers' or 'new customers' depending on their advertising goals. It is possible to distribute ads to repeat customers who have ordered before to increase order opportunities, or to target only new customers to expand awareness.
