■ Comments from Both Companies
Upon launching this service, Diners Club and TableCheck each released comments.

Hiroshi Amamoto, General Manager, Service Planning Department, Sumitomo Mitsui Trust Club Co., Ltd.
In April this year, our company worked on the formulation of over 20 new services to launch, taking into account member needs and market conditions. The concept of the core gourmet service among them is "Value that deepens through continuous relationships, not just a one-time thing. A bridge between consumers and restaurants connected by stories and experiences."
We believed that what Diners Club members seek is not merely review scores or introductions to trendy spots, but the provision of the story behind the cuisine. Furthermore, we learned from our communication with members that many feel an encounter with a truly valuable restaurant is too precious to end after just one visit, and they wish to build an ongoing relationship, feeling "I want to visit again."
On the other hand, amidst soaring raw material costs, restaurants also want customers who empathize with their dedication to come precisely because they serve meticulously crafted dishes.
Through encountering TableCheck as our best partner this time, we were able to launch this new service that satisfies the gourmet service concept our company has been exploring.
