FLAGSHIP CASE
DELIHACK · Japan's Cloud Kitchen Delivery Chain
DELIHACK is Japan's most innovative delivery operation platform. Through IT technology + data analysis + standardized processes, it turns "opening a delivery store" into a replicable, franchiseable operating model.
CONCEPT & PLATFORMS
Delivery Hacker · Multi-Platform Coverage
DELIHACK leverages IT systems to empower sales, inventory, and personnel management, and simultaneously lists the same delivery store on major platforms such as Uber Eats, Demae-can, Wolt, and MENU, so one store reaches consumers across multiple channels.
Centered on the "dark kitchen development + big-data sales" concept, it continuously tests new dishes at the Tokyo test-sales center, ensuring every featured item has undergone 3-8 weeks of market validation before launch.
Investors can enter the Japanese delivery market at a low threshold through franchising, enjoying the overall empowerment of brand, platforms, IT systems, and the operations team.

FAQ
Questions Investors in Japan Care About Most
The Q&A below is compiled from actual consultations with past investors entering Japan, covering threshold, returns, risk, and exit.
Q1 · What is the approximate investment threshold?
Cloud kitchen franchises ¥3M-¥15M, hotels ¥50M-¥200M, and small real estate assets ¥5M-¥30M. Allocation can be phased according to budget and risk appetite.
Q2 · Can I operate without personally residing in Japan?
Yes. We recommend the "business entrustment" model, where the EAGLE team handles daily operations, and investors monitor business conditions remotely through monthly reports and IT system dashboards.
Q3 · What is the payback period and return rate?
Typical cloud kitchen franchise projects have a 5-year payback period, corresponding to an annualized return of about 20% (on a self-operated basis). This varies by project type, franchise conditions, and operating model.
Q4 · How do funds move in and out of Japan?
We provide compliant cross-border capital route design (GK/Kabushiki Kaisha structures + foreign exchange registration) and professional support on both tax and foreign exchange filing fronts.
Q5 · If the project underperforms, can I exit?
Staged exit terms can be agreed before joining, and recovery paths such as equity transfer, brand sale, and franchise interest packaging are available. Specific terms are confirmed in writing during due diligence.
