Conveyor belt sushi was invented by
Yoshiaki Shiraishi (1914–2001), who had problems staffing his small sushi
restaurant and had difficulties managing the restaurant by himself. He got the
idea of a conveyor belt sushi after watching beer bottles on a conveyor belt in
an Asahi brewery. After five years of development, including the design of the
conveyor belt and the speed of operations, Shiraishi opened the first conveyor
belt sushi Mawaru Genroku Sushi in Osaka in 1958, eventually expanding to up to 250 restaurants all over Japan.
However, by 2001, his company had just 11 restaurants.[4] Shiraishi also invented a robotic
sushi, served by robots, but this idea has not had commercial success.
How is it
been innovative?
Most of us
know there is another one of the serve style is just like this that is called “buffet”.
Conveyor belt sushi is not really different than buffet but conveyor belt sushi
is more fun and easy for people to get something they like to eat. If there are
many foods that look pretty or some of the food that you really wants to eat
that shows in front of your eyes will you be happy to see that? No one will ever try to use conveyor belt to
make the buffet long time ago. That is why I think the conveyor belt sushi is
one of the most innovative services in the world.
Why it is
very important?
It is very
important because it prove that there are many ways to make our service more
and more interesting for people. It is not just an idea of the different way to
serve it is also repression the innovative of the service in food serving.
Effect on me:
I saw this
kind of service in japan once and I love this style so much. Eating with
friends in buffet is not cool any more. Eating sushi on conveyor belt that will
be cool. Take whatever sushi or food shows in front of you and eat them this
will be so much fun and surprise. Therefore if I have a chance to have my own
restaurant I would like to try this ki
nd of service too.
