Family restaurant Moves to enhance delivery of food and take-out New Corona April 8 17:38

In Tokyo and other seven prefectures, emergency declarations have been issued and self-restraint has been requested, and family restaurants have begun to enhance delivery of food and take-out.

At Skylark Holdings, the largest family restaurant, the number of guests dropped by about 25% last month, but home delivery and takeout have increased significantly as more people spend at home.

Even at Gusto Nakano Ekoda store in Nakano-ku, Tokyo, home delivery has increased 10% this month compared to the same time last year, and takeout has almost doubled.

On the 8th, a staff member specializing in home delivery was loading the ordered lunch on the motorcycle and delivering it from around noon.

The company provides home delivery to approximately 1,400 stores, which are almost half of the group, but it means that the company is strengthening its system by assigning customer service staff to home delivery and receiving support from other stores.

Mr. Shoichiro Yoshizumi, who is in charge of local store operation, said, "I want to be able to deliver hot food to people who cannot eat at the store."
