ROUND ONE’s collaborations reach prizes, play packs and drinks
ROUND ONE operates indoor venues where visitors play amusement games, bowl, sing karaoke and enjoy sports. Its Spo-cha areas combine sports and games that visitors can use within a set period.
Amusement leads the revenue mix within this leisure business.
Six-tenths of revenue comes from amusement

The category includes several kinds of games. The crane-game floor gives a concrete example of the operating work.
One crane-game area can hold 300–600 machines
The company also refreshes that floor’s content frequently.
Roughly 30 IP collaborations every month
The campaign can appear as a prize in one activity and a pack or drink in another. The disclosure does not quantify how much these campaigns contributed to the revenue mix.

Campaigns connect selected services; this diagram does not measure their effect on visits or sales. The operations shown are separate disclosed initiatives.
The company is balancing the cost of prizes against how frequently customers play. The anticipated revenue is a company expectation, not a disclosed result of the new format.
Reception and stocktaking are part of the venue’s work
Running bowling, karaoke, Spo-cha and amusement under one roof, then reproducing that format overseas, also calls for repeatable store operations.

Its stated opening policy now calls for several stores a year in Japan and active expansion in the United States.
Two U.S. food plans have different operating arrangements
The two plans apply different restaurant arrangements to U.S. expansion. They are plans disclosed in May 2026, not revenue already earned in the fiscal year ended March 2026.
THE VIEW AFTER THE NUMBERS
What the numbers suggest
ROUND ONE’s work combines what visitors play and how the venue runs. Prizes and collaboration offers change the contents of its activities; reception, staffing and inventory systems support daily operation.
Amusement generated 60.2% of FY2026 revenue, against bowling’s 16.5%. Those service shares describe the business mix, not the effect of a particular campaign.
The group operated 161 stores, including 59 in the United States. Alongside that network, the adjacent Japanese Food Hall format and the separately managed Round One Delicious project show two different ways it planned to enter more food-service work.
Resorttrust recruits members before opening and provides stays, dining and member services afterward. In the year ended March 2026, contracts for unopened properties grew, while deferred property revenue affected reported membership-segment profit. Membership sales, revenue recognition and continuing hotel services each have their own timing.
