GINKAN Inc. (http://ginkan.jp/index_en.html), the managing company of SynchroLife, won the “2019 Nagoya Grampus x Startup Pitch” contest held by the Chubu New Business Conference and the Nagoya Chamber of Commerce & Industry this December 2019.

Nine companies from across Japan participated in the startup pitch contest and each company proposed a unique business idea to Nagoya Gampus. Nagoya Grampus is part of Japan’s professional soccer (football) league, the J League. GINKAN proposed an idea utilizing SynchroLife, the restaurant review and recommendation service where users can earn cryptocurrency for dining out. GINKAN’s proposal was well received and praised for “giving back to the community” and “including Grampus in a unique way”. GINKAN’s proposal was “Supporting Local Businesses with Cryptocurrency Reward App SynchroLife”. The concept is beneficial to SynchroLife, Nagoya Grampus, Nagoya Grampus fans, and local businesses.

Supporting Local Businesses with Cryptocurrency Reward App SynchroLife Proposal Key Points

  • Create a membership service for restaurants that support the Nagoya Grampus team, especially in the vicinity of their Aichi Prefecture stadium
  • At these “Grampus Restaurants”, diners can earn SynchroLife’s cashback cryptocurrency as well as get special bonuses or greater cashback depending on recent Grampus team wins
  • Fans can use the cryptocurrency (SynchroCoin) they earn in SynchroLife to exchange for Grampus merchandise, tickets, or in-stadium eats

With this system, Grampus Fans can interact with their favorite team even outside of the stadium and earn cryptocurrency too! It helps restaurants, SynchroLife, and Grampus attract new customers in a mutually beneficial relationship.

Dine and Earn Cryptocurrency with SynchroLife

SynchroLife users regularly earn 1%~5% (set individually by restaurants, with the maximum campaign rewards being 20%) of their dining bill cashback in SynchroCoin (SYC) cryptocurrency just by dining at participating restaurants. By reading a QR code at the restaurant during payment, users receive an amount of SynchroCoin cashback directly in their SynchroLife in-app wallet. The pitch to Nagoya Grampus builds on this platform.

Merits of the SynchroLife Restaurant Program — Zero Upfront Costs

Restaurants can join Synchrolife with no upfront costs, no monthly fees, and no hardware fees. The service can be used on existing tablets or smartphones a restaurant already has so they can get started immediately. Restaurants can also use CRM features to reach out to customers who have dined and earned cryptocurrency with them through SynchroLife before too! The only cost of SynchroLife to restaurants is a 5% advertising fee taken from the total bill of customers from SynchroLife. The sooner a restaurant joins the sooner they can start building up their customer database, join today!
