Foodtech Capital, established in 2021 by Representative Director Hidenori Suzuki, is a Tokyo-based company focused on advancing the digital transformation of Japan's food industry. The firm was founded by a team of professionals with backgrounds in the restaurant industry, technology, and business, aiming to address the challenges faced by the sector, particularly the lag in digitalization exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic. The company's core mission is to create new value and a sustainable future for the food industry by integrating technology.
The company operates on multiple fronts, providing both technology solutions and business development services. One of its key offerings is "delico," a centralized management platform designed for restaurants to handle delivery and takeout orders efficiently, thereby improving operational workflow and sales. This SaaS platform enables clients to manage orders from various services in one place. In addition to its technology products, Foodtech Capital engages in business development, including creating and franchising new restaurant concepts like “Menya Bowls,” “Blue Star Burger,” and “Lemonade Nemonica,” and a virtual restaurant called “Chemmi Chicken”. This involves developing new dining formats that leverage technology and supporting their rollout through franchise partnerships.
Financially, Foodtech Capital is a privately held, venture-backed company. It has successfully raised capital through multiple seed rounds, securing $1.21 million in March 2022 to reach a total of $1.69 million in funding. This capital supports the ongoing development of its technology platforms and the expansion of its franchise operations. The firm's business model combines revenue from its SaaS platform with income generated from its franchise and restaurant development activities, targeting restaurants and food businesses as its primary clients.
