A gelato shop originating in Japan with over 30 years of history.
Founded in 1986, Donatello's is a gelato shop originating in Japan. They offer a variety of menu items, including not only gelato but also crepes and coffee, ensuring customers never get bored. While cost management due to waste is crucial in the food service industry, gelato can be stored for a long time, so there isn't a significant difference in the cost ratio. This is a unique strength of Donatello's, specific to gelato as a product, and something not found in other food service businesses.
Estimated Startup Cost:Up to ¥10,000,000
Industry:Food & Beverage/Delivery
Our gelato shop offers over 200 varieties annually using our own unique recipes, with new seasonal flavors introduced every month. Our recipes are original, offering a richer flavor than authentic Italian gelato while maintaining a refreshing aftertaste. This tailored taste, suited to Japanese palates, sets us apart from other ice cream shops. Furthermore, our operations are simple, eliminating the need to waste time on training.
The gelato offered at Donatello's is made with ingredients that fit the modern trend towards natural and health-conscious lifestyles. It's healthier than ice cream because it has less milk fat and fewer calories. Furthermore, it's rich in nutrients such as calcium and vitamins, making it popular with many women! In addition, because the gelato is made fresh in-store, it can be enjoyed with a fresh taste and a melt-in-your-mouth texture, which is what sets it apart from ice cream.
Donatello's crepes are characterized by their unique "chewy dough," made using a special recipe. The freshly baked, chewy crepes topped with gelato that melts instantly in your mouth offer an exceptional taste. While eating ice cream in winter has become a common practice in Japan, crepe products effectively cover winter sales during this time.
