X-HACK Inc. (Headquarters: Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo, CEO: Shinsuke Matsuda) released a 15-industry business management simulator on April 6, 2026, as a new feature of its free subsidy and grant search service "Hojokin Sagasu AI" (Subsidy Search AI).
In addition to the existing restaurant simulator, it now supports 15 new industries including hair salons, cram schools, bakeries, nursery schools, and guest houses. Simply by selecting the industry, prefecture, location, and store size, users can estimate the initial investment amount, monthly sales, profit, and owner's take-home pay across three different scenarios.
■ Development Background
When the simulator for restaurants was released in March 2026, many requests were received asking "Is there a version for hair salons?" or "I want to try it for an osteopathic clinic."
However, the revenue structures (average customer spend, turnover rate, cost rate, labor cost rate) differ significantly by industry, and generic business plan templates lack accuracy. Consulting firm advisory services are paid, and information on the web is fragmented.
Therefore, we newly developed four revenue models: Seat × Turnover Rate type, Membership type, Retail type, and Capacity type, supporting 15 industries other than food and beverage. Based on industry statistical data, realistic numbers are presented using calculation logic optimized for each industry.
■ Supported Industries (15 industries, 4 revenue models)
[Seat × Turnover Rate type]
Ramen shops, cafes, izakaya (Japanese pubs), restaurants, takeout, hair salons, barber shops, osteopathic clinics, acupuncture clinics, aesthetic salons, dental clinics, veterinary hospitals

[Capacity type]

■ Features of the Simulator
[1. Easy Diagnosis: 10 seconds with 4 questions]
