Beyondge handled AI-driven UX design for WaoPad, a tablet ordering system developed by SBWorks, a subsidiary of Trailhead Global Holdings. WaoPad covers table ordering, kitchen and drink corner instructions, and centralized order management, and runs on general-purpose tablets. Introduction to Trailhead Group restaurants begins in October 2026. The companies plan full-scale AI features next, including recommendations with reasons and grilling guidance for specific cuts of meat.
WaoPad is a tablet application developed in-house by SBWorks using an AI-utilizing development method. It handles order-taking at the table, instructions to the kitchen and drink corner, and centralized order management. Its stated concept is "Make dining smooth, into a restaurant people want to visit again."
Beyondge's role was AI-driven UX design, and the three companies structured the partnership so Beyondge handles strategy design and an AI implementation roadmap while SBWorks handles system development and operation. Under the medium-term plan, Trailhead targets 20 billion yen in sales and 500 group stores in the fiscal year ending March 2031.
