Hello Inc. has announced that its AI restaurant reservation service 'AutoReserve' and all-in-one restaurant platform 'Respo' now support four additional languages: French, Italian, Spanish, and German. This update aims to significantly improve the user experience for visitors to Japan from Europe as well as local users. The decision is driven by a record number of foreign visitors to Japan in April 2026, including strong demand from these four European countries. AutoReserve has also seen a 2.8x year-over-year increase in new registered users from Europe. Hello Inc. established a local subsidiary, Hello AI Limited, in London in 2024 to accelerate its European expansion. The multilingual update allows users to navigate the UI in their native language and enables contracted restaurants to register brand and menu information in multiple languages. Native speakers adjusted the translations to ensure high-quality text from day one. The company plans to continue expanding language support and improving features tailored to local cultures. AutoReserve currently allows reservations at over 2.6 million restaurants globally, overcoming language and time barriers.
