Expanding movement of companies supporting restaurants New Corona April 25, 17:01

Due to the spread of the new coronavirus, the number of places where take-outs are beginning to increase at privately run restaurants, whose sales have fallen sharply. In order to support these stores, companies are undertaking the creation of leaflets for free, and support activities are expanding.

Almost all reservations for this month have been canceled at Izakaya in Tokyo and Meguro, and sales have fallen sharply to about 10% of the same period last year.

In order to make up for the decline in sales, I started taking out bento from last week, but I decided to use a service that helps create advertisements because it is hard to notice even if I put a signboard in front of the store.

This service is undertaken free of charge by a recruitment agency in Tokyo from the creation of leaflets to the securing of human resources to be distributed. We immediately distributed the completed leaflets to the surrounding houses.

Mr. Michi Matsuda, the manager of the izakaya, said, "It's very helpful. Right now, I have to work desperately in front of me."

In addition, the company that distributes the videos of recipes posts free of charge the food and products of restaurants whose sales are declining on the food online site operated by the company.

Of these, a Japanese restaurant in Setagaya-ku, Tokyo, requested to post bottlings of snacks, but new orders came from Kansai and Shikoku.

Kentaro Shimizu, the store owner, said, "I would like to expect it as a new sales channel because I do not notice much even if I post it on my homepage or SNS."
