For modern consumers, a revolving sushi restaurant is not just about “eating well”, but also about having a “fun experience”. The traditional rotating conveyor belt model is being revolutionized. Based in China, HaiSheng Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd. provides global sushi restaurants with a dual solution of “efficiency + fun” through its highly modular and scalable Rotating Sushi Equipment.
In-depth Case Study: 450㎡ "Shinjuku Station" Revolving Restaurant in Wisconsin, USA
Located in Wisconsin, USA, "Shinjuku Station" Revolving Restaurant is a large and medium-sized revolving sushi restaurant focusing on interactive experience and efficient operation, with a business area of 450 square meters. The restaurant introduced a full set of automatic catering conveyor systems from HaiSheng Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd., with the core equipment being the Automatic Revolving Sushi Conveyor System.
Equipment Configuration Plan: Ground-floor Revolving Belt + Second-floor Track-changing Carts
The HaiSheng technical team customized a composite conveying system of “ground-floor revolving + second-floor track-changing carts” according to the restaurant’s spatial layout and operational needs. The ground-floor revolving belt is mainly used for displaying regular dishes, placing high-frequency, low-cost staple items that customers can pick up at any time. The second-floor track-changing carts are responsible for accurate point-to-point food delivery: after customers order via tablet, dishes are delivered directly to their seats by intelligent carts.
Operational Effects & Customer Feedback
Since the opening of "Shinjuku Station" restaurant, this Automatic Revolving Sushi Conveyor System has brought significant operational improvements:
1. Significantly reduced food waste
Traditional revolving sushi restaurants require large inventories on the turntable, often leading to prolonged food exposure. With HaiSheng’s “station-style meal delivery” model, restaurant management becomes more controllable. There is no need to overstock the turntable; dishes are delivered precisely after customers order via tablet, ensuring freshness and reducing waste.
2. Greatly improved customer experience
Intelligent delivery carts arrive directly at seats, reducing human contact and making customers feel cleaner and safer. Meanwhile, the unique cart design has become a popular spot for customers to take photos and share on social media. The restaurant’s social exposure has increased dramatically, with many customers visiting specifically to experience this “high-tech dining style”.
3. Higher operational efficiency
The tablet ordering system reduces order errors, and intelligent carts automatically calculate the optimal delivery route, greatly improving work efficiency. The restaurant runs smoothly even during peak hours, with a noticeable increase in table turnover rate.
4. Upgraded store image
This set of Rotating Sushi Equipment gives the restaurant a professional and high-end image, praised by customers as “the most advanced revolving sushi restaurant”.
Highlight 1: Track-Changing Intelligent Food Delivery Carts Eliminate Idling and Wrong Picks
HaiSheng’s track-changing intelligent food delivery cart system supports accurate delivery, automatic U-turns, intelligent obstacle avoidance and path correction during delivery.
In actual operation at "Shinjuku Station", the system performs excellently: intelligent delivery carts adopt advanced track-changing and conveying technology at turns, improving delivery efficiency. Meanwhile, the loading platform features enhanced anti-slip and anti-tip performance. Protective baffles and optimized table flatness reduce dish movement during transportation. The system detects obstacles and uneven surfaces in advance, avoiding sudden acceleration, deceleration and sharp turns.
The power control system is optimized to ensure stable operation during start, stop and steering, reducing vibration. Operating parameters are adjusted for different ground conditions to maintain stable performance in complex environments and minimize spills caused by unstable movement. The automatic routing system calculates the best path based on delivery location, greatly boosting efficiency.
Notably, cart appearances can be customized into trains, spaceships or brand IP images. In the "Shinjuku Station" project, custom cartoon-style delivery carts became a major attraction, attracting many families with children and effectively boosting family customer traffic.
Highlight 2: 13 Supporting Systems for an All-Round Revolving Line
HaiSheng’s Rotating Sushi Equipment is not an isolated conveyor belt, but an open intelligent platform that can be flexibly matched to restaurant needs.
For interactive fun: optional gashapon game machines, ambient light strips, etc.
For food safety: constant temperature preservation systems, freshness detection systems, hot water systems, etc.
For operational efficiency: plate recycling systems, bridge systems, large-screen self-ordering systems, automatic checkout systems, etc.
For hot pot business: top exhaust systems, multi-function drawers for personal items, etc.
These systems can be installed individually or in combination, helping restaurants maximize functions within limited space. For example, "Shinjuku Station" in Wisconsin, USA, is equipped with a large-screen ordering system and ambient light strips to further enhance the dining experience.
Highlight 3: Intelligent Shinkansen System Creates a Brand-New Dining Experience
HaiSheng’s “Intelligent Shinkansen Track Delivery System” breaks the monotonous rotating conveyor belt model of traditional sushi restaurants. With its unique design, the system delivers an unprecedented intelligent dining experience.
Customers simply place orders on a smart tablet, and dishes are delivered by intelligent track carts. The whole process is smooth and efficient. This new delivery system offers more convenient service, saves significant labor, and ensures a better dining experience.
Meanwhile, the built-in automatic optimal route planning function dynamically adjusts paths even in complex multi-lane track-changing scenarios. For equipment maintenance, HaiSheng recommends regular thorough cleaning of conveying channels, loading platforms and other components to remove food residue and odor molecules, avoiding internal odors. Proper ventilation devices are integrated into the system to promote air circulation, expel residual smells, maintain fresh internal air and reduce cross-flavor risks.
