## Background
### Demand for efficiency improvement due to labor shortage in category 5 and beyond
In contrast to the trend of increasing sales in restaurants from category 5 onward, challenges due to labor shortages are becoming more apparent. In order to cope with this, inquiries from restaurants considering the introduction of a self-ordering system to streamline their operations are increasing, and the number of cases in which the system is being used is growing.

### Smoothness of one-stop service and inexpensive price plans have been well received.
