Support Your Favorite Restaurants with Advance-Purchase Tickets!

COVID-19 has been affecting most businesses, especially restaurants and many solutions have already been planned and executed. One of the most immediate and rapid ways of support is advance-purchase tickets (also called Mirai (future) ticket or Ouen (support) ticket). Unlike takeout and delivery, it has the advantage of being able to support shops far away and it works as simple as the following:

 

  1. You can pay the meal ticket in advance (The payment will go into the store right away) as a future customer of the store you want to support .
  2. Use the ticket and enjoy your meal when COVID-19 is over and we are able to go to the restaurant .

 

In this article, we introduce some of the websites where you can purchase the tickets. Supporting local restaurants means protecting food culture. Find your own way of supporting, and protect the food culture of Fukuoka and Kyushu together!
