The strengths of HATS

Click or tap on the "+" mark to discover how HATS differs from other apps.
Localized
This system was developed in years of real-life trainings held in Japan, evolving into an app specifically designed for native Japanese speakers. Addressing and solving doubts on cultural differences between Japan and English-speaking countries, HATS could save your line staff from involuntarily sounding rude to your guests.
Unique contents
The program includes field-tested original contents, developed over the years. That's right, you can't find this training anywhere else, especially at this level of focus and applicability.
In-app practice
HATS brings Lessons and engaging Practice Sessions right at your Team's finger tips, ensuring that each User reaches a deep understanding of the words and phrases they learn.
Beyond memorizing vocabulary!
focused
HATS only addresses the kind of language that is necessary and relevant to hotel staff to be autonomous in interacting with non-Japanese guests, ultimately making each User able to understand and meet their needs.
Enough with "it's raining cats and dogs"!
Field tested
These contents were created from on-field trainings held at some of the most prestigious properties in Kyoto. Because nobody knows your Team better than you.
Worry-free
Support services for you, for Division Managers or for Users to ensure that everyone knows exactly how to get the best out of HATS, and the extent to which it impacts your Team's performance in real-life scenarios.

How can we be so sure it works?
Our self confidence comes from our Clients.
HATS is a product of LYNX, a company registered in Kyoto (website here).
Since 2015, LYNX has been providing the trainings that have now become HATS to top-notch properties in Kyoto: luxury hotels, exclusive restaurants, high-end spas and more.
For our clients, just like for you, "Exceeding Expectations" is the crucial mindset that marks their success.
We know they expect no lesser care from us.
Since the foundation of LYNX, this has been the element driving our decisions and implementations. Thanks to this approach, we have been constantly working on improving our training programs, eventually creating a system that can be applied to students of any level and, finally, become an app that is as focused, relevant and effective as our real-life courses.
