Full-Scale Launch of Fast Pass Service 'SuiSui' at Popular Restaurants in Hakata

SuiSui Inc. (Headquarters: Nasushiobara City, Tochigi Prefecture / CEO: Keiichiro Sato) will expand the introduction of the fast pass service 'SuiSui' at popular restaurants in the Fukuoka/Hakata area starting Saturday, April 18, 2026. In the tourist destination of Hakata, anticipating the Golden Week holidays, this initiative will be rolled out to make the sightseeing experience more comfortable for visitors and propose a new way to enjoy dining out. In the Fukuoka/Hakata area, 'SuiSui' is scheduled to be available at a total of 4 stores as of the same day, including existing adopting stores. We plan to continue expanding the number of adopting stores, primarily in the Hakata area, and will proceed with building an environment where more visitors can experience this service. ■ Background With the recovery of inbound tourism and the increase in tourism demand, lines have become the norm at popular restaurants in the Hakata area. Especially during peak seasons like Golden Week, long waiting times occur, leading to the loss of dining opportunities and a decline in experience value. Furthermore, in the restaurant industry, the costs of raw materials, labor, and utilities continue to soar. While it is difficult to pass these costs onto prices, there is a need to balance securing profits without relying on price hikes and providing value. ■ Overview of the Initiative Through this initiative, we will expand the introduction of 'SuiSui' at popular restaurants in the Hakata area. By updating the very means of visiting popular restaurants where lines are constant, we make the way visitors use their time more flexible. By extending the time previously spent waiting in line at popular restaurants into opportunities to circulate, such as nearby sightseeing and shopping, we aim to provide a consistent experience value across the entire area and standardize a new dining experience in the tourist destination of Hakata.

Board Member: Yoshiro Shirahama We have been using SuiSui since 2024. We see scenes where customers who are in a hurry due to sightseeing or business use it, as well as customers visiting with elderly family members using it to reduce the time spent waiting in line and the physical burden. I feel that the benefits of SuiSui are significant for such customers. Hakata Ikkousha HI Style Co., Ltd. CEO: Isao Irisawa Until now, there have been cases where customers who came from afar looking forward to Hakata ramen gave up on visiting due to lines or time constraints. With the introduction of SuiSui, we feel that we can guide such customers smoothly and have them spend their time in Hakata with greater satisfaction. We also expect that it will become easier for local customers to use during limited times, such as lunch breaks, encouraging them to visit us more casually. Hakata Tempura Takao Kosho Co., Ltd. Board Member: Takao Kashiki We introduced this starting from our stores in the Kanto region that chronically have waiting lines. We are introducing it this time in Fukuoka as well, and its use during peak times offers significant benefits to both customers and the store. Personally, I think it would be greatly appreciated from a user's perspective if it were introduced to popular stores in Fukuoka that always have lines, as well as similar popular stores nationwide. ■ Service Overview: What is 'SuiSui'? 'SuiSui' is a 'line-skipping' priority entry service developed for restaurants with lines. It is Japan's first 'eating-out fast pass' that allows users to bypass the line and gain priority entry by purchasing a ticket on their smartphone at the storefront of popular restaurants. Customer Benefits: By paying a set usage fee, customers can gain priority entry without waiting in line. They can turn their waiting time into free time to enjoy sightseeing and shopping.
