eftax’s original application, HaloDish, is a project primarily driven by student interns in Western Japan and international engineers.
This is aimed at Muslim tourists visiting Japan and Muslims residing in Japan.
HaloDish allows users to easily search for information about Halal restaurants and prayer mosques in Japan.
In the process of development, interns conducted interviews with Muslim colleagues within our company, promoting cross-cultural understanding.
Furthermore, with the expansion of awareness of HaloDish and an increase in its users, eftax aims to contribute to the realization of an inclusive society.
