umami.me

Umami.me, with the slogan "Easily Order Food at Restaurants in Japan with Multilingual Menus, Special Offers, and Language Assistance," offers a solution for non-Japanese speakers to navigate ordering food in Japan. The mobile app boasts features such as finding menus in multiple languages, communicating with non-English speaking staff, and accessing discounts. Since its launch in April 2015, approximately 250 restaurants in Japan have adopted the Umami app. The app's appeal extends to both customers and restaurants. For restaurants, it provides a platform to offer multilingual menus and attract foreign visitors through coupons and social network services. This ensures better connectivity with international diners. Diners, on the other hand, benefit from the ability to find restaurants matching their preferences and order in their native language. The app also caters to specific dietary needs, such as allergy-free or halal food options. Umami.me received a $466.00K investment in a Seed Round on 06 June 2016, with participation from VOYAGE VENTURES, Computer Software Association of Japan, and Fujita Kanko. This investment reflects investor confidence in the potential of Umami.me within the mobile industry.
