y-Doc Inc. Speaks at USEN-Hosted Seminar for Restaurants: Over 180 Sign Up for 'Building Restaurant Fans' Theme

y-Doc Inc., supported by the social business community 'Waccel' (headquartered in Shinagawa Ward, Tokyo; organizer: Yoshihiro Shimamura; general producer: Tomofumi Sumitani), introduced 'Three Secrets to Successfully Building Fans' under the theme of 'A New Approach to Customer Acquisition,' targeting both aspiring and existing restaurant operators.

On Tuesday, August 4, Reiwa 8 (2026) at 14:00, y-Doc Inc. served as a speaker at an online seminar hosted by USEN Corporation, aimed at individuals planning to open a restaurant or already operating one.

The seminar received over 180 registrations.

The seminar's theme was:

"[A New Approach to Customer Acquisition] Three Secrets to Successfully Building Restaurant Fans."

Beyond mere customer acquisition: Creating restaurants customers want to revisit

The customer acquisition landscape for restaurants has dramatically changed due to the widespread use of social media, gourmet sites, and advertising.

At the same time, beyond simply making new customers aware of a restaurant, it is increasingly important for restaurant management to ensure that first-time visitors feel 'I want to come back' or 'I want to recommend this to someone,' thereby building lasting relationships.

In this seminar, rather than focusing solely on customer acquisition tactics, the discussion centered on the perspective of:

"How to build relationships with customers and turn them into loyal fans of the store."

The human connections uniquely fostered by restaurants

y-Doc Inc. believes that restaurants offer value far beyond just serving food.

Meals with friends, business dinners, meeting new people—restaurants are places where people face each other and deepen their relationships.

We have been leveraging this unique value of restaurants to propose new ways of building ongoing relationships between customers and stores, as well as innovative customer acquisition models.

In this seminar, we shared the philosophy of creating stores that are continuously chosen—not by relying solely on advertising or temporary promotional campaigns, but by steadily building relationships with customers.

Over 180 registrations: High interest in 'fan-building' among restaurant operators

The seminar attracted over 180 registrants, ranging from those planning to open a restaurant to existing operators.

The high number of registrants reflects growing interest in restaurant management—not just in acquiring new customers, but also in 'fan-building' and 'building relationships with repeat customers.'

Future Plans

y-Doc Inc. will continue to disseminate information on restaurant customer acquisition and fan-building through collaborations with restaurants, seminars, and events.

Our goal is not merely to increase the number of store visits.

We aim to foster new human connections through the real-world space of restaurants, increasing relationships where people think, 'I want to come back to this restaurant' or 'I want to recommend this restaurant to someone.'

We will continue initiatives that contribute to building long-lasting relationships between restaurants and their customers.
