YO! use case

YO!: a leading restauration brand regularly opening new restaurants

Founded in 1997, YO! first restaurant opened in London with a disruptive concept, delivering Japanese street food and sushi to guests via a ‘kaiten’ conveyor belt. 

It was a success and YO! is now a global brand with over 170 restaurants operating across 8 countries, most of which are located in the UK.

They are continuously opening new restaurants on a regular basis as well as kiosks with leading retail partners across the UK.

Their challenge: choose the best locations for their new restaurants openings in the UK

We're in all the obvious places.
It's now the less obvious places we need to be in.
