"Go To Eat" started "Limited effect" at restaurant "Site away" at 5:31 on October 1st

Of the "Go To Eat" that supports restaurants affected by the new coronavirus, points will be redeemed from the 1st when eating through the reservation site.

However, some people say that the effect is limited due to the progress of "leaving the site" such as restaurants where fees cannot be paid due to the deterioration of management.

"Go To Eat" has two businesses: granting points by online reservation and meal vouchers with premium.

Of these, the business that gives points when eating at a restaurant through the reservation site will start from the 1st nationwide.



As for the reservation site, 15 sites of 13 companies such as "GourNavi" and "Tabelog" are designated, and most of the sites are available from 1st.



When you actually eat at the restaurant where you made a reservation, you will be given points for 500 yen for lunch and 1000 yen for dinner per person in about a week, and you can use them for future reservations.



Reservations can be made for up to 10 people, and you can make multiple reservations until the end of January next year, but it will end when the budget limit is reached.

In addition, the maximum expiration date of points is until the end of March next year.



Eligible restaurants are obliged to take thorough measures against infection, and restaurants with entertainment are excluded from the target.



On the other hand, the business of meal tickets with premiums that can be used in each prefecture has been decided to be implemented in 33 prefectures, and the selection work of business operators is progressing in the remaining 14 prefectures.



According to the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries, it will start in Niigata Prefecture from the 5th of this month, and will start in most prefectures by next month.

Some say that the effect is limited

In "Go To Eat", if you make a reservation and eat at 15 reservation sites of 13 designated businesses such as "GourNavi" and "Tabelog", 500 yen for lunch and 1000 yen for dinner per person, Points that can be used on the reservation site will be returned.



However, on many reservation sites,


in addition to the monthly posting fee,


if a reservation customer comes to the store through the site, the store must pay a customer transfer fee of about 50 to 200 yen per person.



This time, restaurants that newly use the reservation site will be free of posting fees during the campaign period, but the effect is that restaurants that are suffering from management due to the influence of the new coronavirus are already "away from the site". Some say it is limited.



On the 30th, NHK interviewed 20 restaurants near Kaminarimon in Asakusa, Tokyo, where the number of foreign tourists is decreasing sharply, but 12 restaurants, which is 60%, use the reservation site because of the burden of fees. I didn't.



Of these, the owner of a Western-style restaurant, who says that omelet rice is a specialty, said, "We do not use the reservation site because there are many elderly regular customers and it costs a fee. Only the site operator is profitable in the country. There is a sense of unfairness in our support measures. "



In addition, the owner of the udon shop said, "I haven't used the reservation site before, but I'm thinking of signing a contract in the future with" Go To Eat ". People who come to Asakusa do not use the reservation site. There are many people, so I don't know how effective it will be, but I'm hoping that the number of customers will return as much as possible. "

A long-established store with a new contract with the reservation site "Thoughts to stick to the campaign"

At a long-established restaurant that has been operating in Asakusa, Tokyo for 45 years, Negima Nabe is a specialty, and due to the influence of the new coronavirus, reservations for group customers such as corporate dinners are no longer accepted, and last month's sales were about half of last year. It is said that he is depressed.



I used to contract with a gourmet site and accept reservations online, but I haven't used the reservation site until now because of the burden of paying fees.



However, because "Go To Eat" may concentrate customers on stores that can make online reservations, it means that they chose a reservation site that does not charge a fee and made a new contract.



President Yoshinobu Hirakawa, who runs this restaurant, said, "Since sales are declining sharply, I'm thinking of going to the Go To campaign. I want to welcome customers while taking thorough infection prevention measures such as dividing the pot for each person." I was talking.

"Go To Eat" started When I asked in Shibuya ...

When I heard about the point redemption of "Go To Eat" in Shibuya, Tokyo, there were many people who said "I want to use it positively", but many people said "I don't know the details of the campaign".



A man in his twenties living in Ota Ward said, "If you use the reservation site, you can eat and drink cheaper than usual, so I would like to actively utilize it from now on. I hope that this campaign will make restaurants healthy." ..



On the other hand, a man in his 60s who lives in Yokohama said, "I have never used a reservation site, so I don't really understand how the campaign works. I wonder if people like me who are not familiar with the internet are excluded from the campaign. I think. "



Others say they are still reluctant to eat out because of the risk of infection.



A male office worker living in Shinagawa Ward said, "Because of the risk of corona infection, I don't feel like going out to eat out immediately after the campaign starts. I would like to see the infection situation."



In addition, a woman in her 30s living in Shibuya Ward said, "I think it is still early to start the campaign when there is no prospect of the infection ending."

Thorough measures to prevent corona infection are a condition for participation

The Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries is required to thoroughly implement infection prevention measures for stores when implementing "Go To Eat".



Specifically,


▽ put a disinfectant solution at the entrance of the store


,


provide sufficient ventilation,

▽ separate the table so that the distance from the customers of another group is at least 1 meter, provide a partition, etc. I am seeking.



In addition,


we are requesting that you provide information on the national contact confirmation application "COCOA" in a way that is easy to see, such as putting a sticker on the menu.



In addition, the


store is asking users to avoid having dinner with a large number of people and to keep their conversations modest.



The Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries has decided to conduct an unannounced visit survey by staff to confirm that appropriate measures have been taken, and stores that do not follow the guidance may cancel the registration.
