What is sushi/conveyor belt sushi?

Sushi or conveyor belt sushi is a restaurant concept where plates and freshly made sushi are placed on a rotating conveyor belt and navigated through each customer in the restaurant. Once diners see a dish they want to eat, they simply take it off the conveyor belt, collect the dish, and submit the final bill.

Sushi/conveyor belt sushi born

In the 1960s, a restaurant owner developed "Kaiten Sushi" in Osaka and found it difficult to retain employees and manage the business on his own. After watching the beer factory bottles being transported along the conveyor belt, the restaurant owner came up with the idea of a rotating sushi system that would fulfill his desire to quickly and effectively serve more customers while reducing costs.

At the Osaka World Expo in the 1970s, Kaiteng sushi was introduced and became popular on the spot, with casual sushi dining experiences sweeping the country. This concept not only makes luxury dishes easy to approach, but also makes diners feel comfortable because when they receive food at the speed they want, they can control their speed while passing through visual entertainment through a large amount of sushi. The acceptance and popularity of Kaiteng sushi restaurants in China has opened a new era for the global sushi industry.

Benefits of conveyor belt sushi

We will help you succeed in places where other restaurants have closed down.

Nowadays, there are over 9000 Japanese sushi restaurants in the world, and they are steadily growing every year, leading to severe market saturation. Due to the surge in competition, a large portion of these restaurants are forced to close within a few months of opening. Those restaurants that successfully open their doors often maintain their business by raising prices or providing inferior food and services, ultimately leading to closure. Through our conveyor belt sushi system and services, we will help you achieve success in areas where other restaurants have failed.

The Challenge of Intensified Competition

In order to survive in a fiercely competitive industry, you must achieve unique services or quality that sets your business apart. Installing conveyor belt sushi is a solution to this challenge, as customers can enjoy an affordable dining experience that is completely related to visual entertainment.

Challenges in staffing

Maintaining the staffing and training of the entire restaurant is a challenging and expensive process. Using a conveyor belt sushi restaurant will require fewer personnel and simple training, thus saving you time and money, with a focus on the quality of the customer experience.

Challenges during peak hours

Many restaurants have slow table turnover during peak hours and lose revenue during this process. The self-service at the conveyor belt sushi restaurant allows your employees more time to concentrate and have the next customer queue up to take their seats.
