The increase in the consumption tax rate has led to growing demand for food take-outs that are subject to a reduced tax rate of 8%. For this reason, IT companies are embarking on services that allow restaurants to easily introduce takeout.
Since April, LINE has been searching for restaurants that can take out, and has started a service that allows customers to make payments in advance and make cashless payments.
When the user chooses the product and the receipt time on the smartphone and completes the payment, the store cooks at that time, so it can be received without waiting at the store.
Since the 8% reduced tax rate is applied to take-out, the use of services has increased after the consumption tax rate has been raised, and the usage amount for the two weeks up to the 14th of last month is 2.5 times that of the previous two weeks. It means that it has increased.
At the Izakaya in Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo, where the service was introduced, office workers after work received a take-out lunch.
A 26-year-old man said, “I want to keep food expenses as low as possible by living alone, so I would like to refrain from eating out and use cheap takeout.”
LINE's Ryota Muto said, “I think there will be many restaurants that will start taking out, so I think the use will expand further.”
These services have also been offered by Yahoo since last month, and new competition has begun as a result of the increase in the consumption tax rate.
