Founded in 2000, Sumo Sushi & Bento sets the standard as the UAE’s first Japanese casual dining spot. Sumo Sushi expanded rapidly and grew its presence across the UAE, but found it challenging to scale Customer Experience and Brand Reputation at the same time. 

They signed up with Momos’ Unified Customer Platform to scale their customer operations across all of their stores and were able to drive happier customers at every location, save thousands of hours every year, and make better data-driven decisions. 

With Momos, they were able to achieve:  

  • An increase to a 4.8-star Google Rating
    Putting them in the top 5% of businesses in the UAE.
  • Thousands of hours saved annually
    Sumo Sushi was able to save an additional headcount for every 4 locations.
  • 97% CSAT score
    Happier customers at every location, more repeat visits, leading to increased lifetime value and revenue growth.

The Challenge: Scaling Customer Experience Without Increasing Costs 

Sumo Sushi expanded across multiple locations, and maintaining a high level of customer experience became increasingly difficult. The leadership team faced these critical challenges:

  • Nonexistent Analytics
    Without a centralized system, there were gaps in their data with no real insights, resulting in Sumo Sushi's inability to identify issues and make data-driven decisions.
  • Inconsistent Performance Across Locations
    As Sumo Sushi scaled, measuring and maintaining quality across branches became very difficult. They could not identify common problems across all of their locations, making them impossible to address.
  • Too Many Reviews to Manage
    While Sumo Sushi was already a customer favorite, the number of reviews and feedback were overwhelming across all its locations and channels, resulting in a review graveyard. Customers were left unanswered and unheard.

Sumo Sushi needed a scalable, data-driven approach to optimize its customer-facing operations without adding to operational costs.
