Highlights

  • Sales Overview
    • In Detail

Same Store Sales (vs. 2021): 118.0%, Same Store Sales (vs. 2019): 88.1%

  • Guest count trended relatively well in the first half of the month due to a remaining effect from the 99yen kids' menu campaign and a historically early ending of the rainy season
  • From mid-July, tendencies to refrain from going out became more prominent
  • By daypart: As news reports increased around the 7th wave of COVID-19, guest count dropped especially in hours after 18:00 towards the end of the month
  • By region: With the end of 99yen kids' menu campaign, guest count declined especially in areas where strong response was seen in low-ticket price segments
  • By customer segment: Compared to the period prior to implementing the 99yen kids menu campaign, guest count decline was relatively mild in 30s-40s females/males and low ticket price segments; with the increase in news reports around the 7th wave of COVID-19, senior segments which had been trending well became increasingly more hesitant to go out

■ Menu & Promotion

・ Promotion: Toys of popular characters Yokai Watch and Cinnamoroll were introduced from the 14th as Lucky Set premiums in 6 brands, towards family demands

during summer vacation

・ Bamiyan: Guest count increase vs 2019 with LTO noodle menus introduced on the 14th. Gross profit margin also improved

・ Yumean: Take-out meals of grilled eel spiked for Midsummer Day of the Ox (Eel Day). New summer menus, premium shaved ice and melon desserts pushed up

average ticket price

■ Store Development

・ Remodeled 31 stores and converted 2 stores (2 Bamiyans). Compared to January to April when there was no promotion for remodeled stores, sales for stores

remodeled in May to July was 204%.

■ Others

・ Installed 1,941 floor service robots in 1,389 restaurants (mainly in Gusto, Syabu-Yo, Bamiyan and Jonathan's)
