We aim to increase consumption in the tourism scene and improve tourist satisfaction by simultaneously implementing "cashless measures" and "multilingual measures" for domestic and foreign tourists who visit Myoko in cooperation. rice field.

Effect of introducing cashless payment

The mobile ordering system "Putmenu" is a system that supports 12 languages and allows you to place orders and pay in advance using your smartphone. As a result of increasing user contact points by introducing "Putmenu" to multiple spots where inbound customers experience consumption during their stay in Myoko and providing it to users as a "cashless app for each Myoko town", for example, purchasing lift tickets. After that, not only was eating and drinking on the slopes promoted the use of the hot spring town at night along with user behavior experiences such as dinner, but it became possible to visualize user consumption behavior including purchase and eating information. In addition, domestic tourists can also make local ski rentals on busy weekends and place orders and payments at slope restaurants on-site by having users make advance orders and payments on their smartphones through the "Myoko Street Cashless App". It is now possible to provide services without having to wait. In addition, all orders and payments are made online, improving man-hour productivity and helping to combat labor shortages.
