Vessel Hotel development (head office: Fukuyama City, Hiroshima Prefecture Minamihonjo Third Street No. 4 No. 27, President and CEO:Yoshiro Seo Seo Yoshiro, hereinafter referred to as Vessel Hotels) will open the second "Ghost Kitchens" franchise store in collaboration with Ghost Restaurant Research Institute Co., Ltd.

The first franchise store for this business was opened on Thursday, February 18th at "VESSEL INN UENO IRIYA STATION." The idea was to make effective use of the hotel kitchen, which had previously only been used to provide breakfast to guests, to provide food for delivery and takeout, in order to make the hotel feel more familiar to not only guests staying at the hotel, but also the local community.

■ Background to the expansion of delivery and takeout businesses
Due to the spread of COVID-19, Saitama City has also implemented "priority measures to prevent the spread of COVID-19" since Friday, April 16th, and people are being asked to refrain from unnecessary outings. With the desire to allow our customers to enjoy the feeling of dining out even while spending more time at home, we have opened the second "Ghost Kitchens" franchise at REF Omiya by VESSEL HOTELS. Based on the hospitality and safety we have cultivated through hotel management, we will provide services that our customers can use with peace of mind.

■ Menu that is close to those who have more time at home
Due to the refraining from going out in the corona storm and the teleworking that is being promoted, the time spent at home is increasing on weekdays and holidays. In response to the growing awareness of health regarding "food", we will prepare a well-balanced menu that pays attention to physical condition and body shape management. REF Omiya by Vessel Hotel we have three brands: "Salad Aru Seikatsu", "Tokyo MABO", and "Great Chicken Powers". Each brand offers a well-balanced health and beauty-conscious menu, including fresh vegetables and high-quality protein, which are often deficient in daily life.
Guests who are refraining from eating out to prevent the spread of the infection can also enjoy hot dishes in their own rooms. In addition, the hotel lounge is open like a cafe, and you can enjoy your meal with peace of mind in a safe space where measures against new coronavirus infections are thoroughly implemented.
