Per capita spending (including company spending) for HRI spending has made a significant contribution to the food service industry’s step by step growth. In addition, increased tourism has also contributed to the re-invigoration of the industry as HRI outlets are offering more international cuisines throughout the market place. Competition remains intense and the sophisticated Japanese consumer continues to demand high quality food products.

  • Starbucks Corporation (A)
    Revised June 30, 1997 Starbucks Corporation (A) Starbucks Corporation is a Seattle, Washington-based coffee company. It roasts and sells whole bean coffees and coffee drinks through a national chain of retail outlets/restaurants. Originally only a seller of packaged, premium, roasted coffees, the bulk of the company's revenues now comes from its coffee bars’ where people can purchase beverages and pastries in addition to coffee by the pound. Starbucks is credited with changing the way Americans view coffee, and its success has attracted the attention of investors nationwide. Starbucks has consistently been one of the fastest growing companies in the United States with over 1,006 retail outlets in 1996. Over a five-year period starting in 1991, net revenues increased at a compounded annual growth rate of 61 percent. In fiscal 1996, net revenues increased 50 percent to $696 million from $465 million for the same period the previous year (see Exhibit 1). Net earnings rose 61 percent to $42 million from the previous year’s $26 million. Sales for Starbucks have been continuing to grow steadily, and the company is still a darling of investors with a PE ratio of 58. To continue to grow at a rapid pace, the firm’s senior executives have been considering international expansion. Specifically, they are interested in Japan and other Asian countries, where Starbucks had little or no presence. Japan, the world’s third largest coffee consumer after the United States and Germany, represented both a challenge and a huge opportunity to the firm. To explore what changes in Starbucks strategy were required, and the questions that might arise during expansion, this case looks at the firm’s entry strategy into Japan and the nature of issues facing the firm during early 1997.

    Semiotic Review 5: The Semiotics of Food-and-language - article published January 2017 https://semioticreview.com/ojs/index.php/sr/article/view/7 Cross-Modal Iconism at Tully’s Coffee Japan: Authenticity and Egalitarian Sociability as Projections of Distinction Ezra Toback [email protected] Abstract: Tully’s Coffee Japan seeks to differentiate itself from competitors in the chain- cafe service industry. It does this in part through the semiotic figuration of two modernist discourses of distinction: culinary-craft authenticity and egalitarian sociability. This figuration is grounded in the corporate strategy of cross-modal iconism, or the production of a perceived equivalence between elements of heterogeneous sign systems. In Tully’s cafes, cross-modal iconism is instantiated through forms of linguistic labor that lend distinction to the company and its workers, products, and customers. On the one hand, employees vocalize set Italianate phrases in entextualized performances scripted by the corporation. The use of these phrases leverages iconic and indexical values ideologically invested in Italian to position Tully’s employees closer to an imagined, authenticating origin located in western Europe. On the other hand, Tully’s refers to employees with the loanword “ferō,” a term hitched to an image of egalitarian sociability thought to characterize democratic European cafe culture. Both the Italianate calls and “ferō” draw upon two historical strains that run through Japan’s cafe modernity: elitism and popularism. These strains reemerge at Tully’s today in the contradiction between the hierarchical social relations implied by the Italianate calls and the equalized social relations implied by “ferō.” Keywords: Tullys, coffee, iconism, authenticity, sociability, ferō Tully’s Coffee Japan (hereafter, Tully’s) has outstripped its Seattle-based predecessor as regards commercial profit and brand recognition.

HOW TO JOIN THE FRANCHISES EARNING SUCCESS Ichiro Fujita advises on franchising in Japan Japan Report Receptive to Western ideas and culture, Japan has long been a target destination for Western franchisors. However, brands eager to set up shop in this lively market should look carefully before they leap; this country may appear thoroughly Westernized, but cultural differences run deep and these should be properly understood before that first step Eastwards is taken.
