As the popular Japanese coffee brand Komeda's Coffee made its debut in Hong Kong, it quickly became the talk of the town. From its rich coffee and fluffy desserts to its cozy dining atmosphere, Komeda's Coffee has drawn a huge following. However, with its growing popularity, the long queues outside the restaurant became a significant challenge for the management.


To tackle this issue, Komeda's Coffee partnered with THE GULU to implement our smart queuing service, providing customers with a more efficient and comfortable dining experience. With the THE GULU mobile app, customers can join the queue remotely, track their position in real-time, and completely change the traditional queuing process.



Challenges Faced by Komeda's Coffee


As a coffee brand with over 50 years of history in Japan, Komeda's Coffee generated significant buzz after opening in Hong Kong, attracting coffee enthusiasts and dessert fans alike. However, the surge in customer numbers brought several operational challenges:


  1. Long Waiting Times

During peak hours, long lines formed outside the restaurant. Some customers chose to leave due to excessive wait times, increasing the customer churn rate.


  1. Chaotic Queue Management

Customers could not clearly understand their queue progress, creating additional stress for on-site staff and impacting the restaurant’s image.
