“We wanted to be innovative, and we were surprised to see an increase in latte sales”

Doutor Coffee Farm is a buzzy new, “high-class Doutor” location in Tokyo, Japan. It’s leaped
beyond convenience-style coffee stations or diner coffee to third-wave specialty coffee service. 
We had the opportunity to speak to Ms. Kabe from the New Business Development department
at the head office along with Store Manager Ms. Uchida about their Ripples introduction and
customer reactions. 
Doutor Coffee Farm is a buzzy new, “high-class Doutor” location in Tokyo, Japan. It’s leaped beyond convenience-style coffee stations or diner coffee to third-wave specialty coffee service. 
We had the opportunity to speak to Ms. Kabe from the New Business Development department at the head office along with Store Manager Ms. Uchida about their Ripples introduction and customer reactions. 
What made Doutor, a long-established coffee chain, decide to introduce a new
technology like Ripples?
Kabe: Since “Doutor Coffee Farm” is a new business format, we wanted to take the opportunity
to explore new initiatives. In May 2021, we introduced Ripples with the aim of further
increasing our customer base when we introduced our menu for this new specialty-coffee
concept. 
Before the launch, we only offered simple milk-based cafe lattes, but since we were promoting
and serving specialty coffee, we wanted to increase the number of milk-based menu items so
that even more people could enjoy our drinks. There are many people who don’t like coffee. We
now offer three types of milk-based drinks: Café Latte, Café Mocha, and Cappuccino, and the
aim was to give the Café Latte a special feel by using the Ripples print. Highlighting these drinks
was a big reason behind our introduction of the Ripple Maker.
