Scratching where it's itching

HATS is sure to provide solutions to a few tricky points in organizing on-site trainings at your property.

Click or tap on the "+" mark to read details about the benefits of adopting HATS at your property.

With HATS there is no need to organize and schedule real-life classes with an instructor at your property. Attendance sheets are a thing of the past!

Obtain the same contents of our tested training programs, at a fraction of the cost of on-site trainings.

Being a smartphone app, the system is accessible anytime, anywhere, whenever your Team feel like it.

The strengths of HATS

This all-new system has several unique features that make it unmatched, especially in Japan. As some of our clients say (jokingly, we hope), "We have to ask you because there's no one else to ask to".

Click or tap on the "+" mark to discover how HATS differs from other apps.

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.

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.

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!

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"!

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.

Click or tap on the "+" mark to read details about additional services to support you and your Team on discovering the full potential of HATS.

Each client will receive full assistance on the app through demonstration days for HR managers, Division Managers and actual Users, to ensure that every party involved knows exactly what to expect from HATS.

Users may contact our Team directly from within the app whenever they require assistance on more complex topics.

Weekly, bi-weekly or monthly Reports will update you on each User's progress.

Subscription to HATS gives access to focused Live Sessions to be held at your property, at an additional fee. During Live Sessions, Users will have chances to ask questions and clarifications, solve doubts, and role play to test their new skills with a trained instructor.

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.

分かりやすくてすぐ使えそうな内容でとても有難かったです。

"It's easy to understand, and the contents can be applied immediately"

ネイティブの人がその言葉をどう感じるか教えていただけるので、ホスピタリティの視点から使っていい悪いが明確でした。
