Ticket Restaurants

Food ticket restaurants are establishments in Japan that allow for customers to easily order and pay for their meals. It's a relatively simple system to use, and the only difficulties you may have could be if there is no English. There are three simple steps to using a ticket system restaurant. First, select what you want among the options listed on the machine. Next, insert your money and select your option, and the machine will print you a ticket. Third, take the ticket to the staff, and they handle the rest. If you're not sure what to do or don't know what's on the machine, ask a staff or another person in line, and you're bound to be eating your meal in no time.

Although it may seem like a bit of an odd way to order your food, the meal ticket restaurant system allows for the chefs and staff to make exactly what you want without wasting any time. The chefs simply need to read the ticket and they're good to go. This system allows for a faster turn around time and matches with the busy, fast-paced lifestyle some Japanese in Tokyo and Osaka experience. While it may seem a bit impersonal, the ticket restaurants allow for a quick and easy meal for a great price
