| 1. Have a clear idea of what type of noodle you wish to make |
|
| |
First knowing type of noodle to be served at your restaurant is crusial for us as it is our job to offer what helps you build your ideal noodle business. So, if we know the type of noodle you're planning to produce well from the begining, it allows us to find the right tool from our product selection.
For example, if you were planning to serve ramen noodle that is semi-raw (half dried for better perishability), what you'd need to achieve stable production of this noodle at certain quality level is narrowed down to a few from about 100 combinations of equipments that we can offer. As it is also important for us to ensure better chances of your becoming successful noodle restaurants, please be specific on noodle type you are to offer.
FYI: we DO NOT manufacture machines for INSTANT NOODLES |

Here, you have decided which model and accessary to be purchased, and we confirm details of your order and make sure that what you have selected will help you achieve efficient operation. We double-check the following at this point:
- performance level of eqiupment - if it matches your desired capacity of your noodle business (eg. if 200 meals/hour can cover expected demands)
- accessaries - maturation box, roller cutter, soft water generator (if needed), and others
- electric voltage compatibility - we usually recommend using transformer for those areas with this problem
- electric hertz - our machines can be set to 50 or 60 hertz before ship-out from factory. As it varies from region to region even within Japan, please specify which hertz is standard in your area. Please feel free to consult us if you're not sure.

| 4-1. Quotation, Negotiation |
|
| |
Estimation - after you have selected a model and set of necessary equipments (if you decide that you need it), we send you quotation, listing:
- Quotation
We provide estimation in FOB price (or some other pricing method) first in form of quotation. Negotiation process starts by sending quotation back and forth between Yamato and purchaser until both parties agree on details written on the quotation. Quotation lists information of product that you've selected, their FOB prices (or some other pricing method), and sales terms.

- Offer Sheet
If you agree on the terms written on quotation and inform us your will of purchase, we send you another sheet, called "offer sheet". When you fax us back this sheet, signed by purchaser, it becomes a sales contract. And, the total charge informed on the offer sheet is paid in L/C or T/T at a bank that can transact with our designated bank. Once deposit of full payment has been confirmed, we start shipping process. Then, we inform you of estimated delivery date and other related information either via telephone and/or e-mail. After this point, we constantly keep track of shipment and keep you informed of any delay or what you should know about shipment.
