In particular, the synergy provided by the Minish Lounge space has been significant, as evidenced by the fact that the lounge\u2019s reservation rate was much higher than that of other branches running the same promotion. As a result, the total sales volume has surged to more than 10 times that of the nail salon that previously operated in that location.     <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Valmont Spa has also overhauled its organizational structure. The company selects therapists who have been vetted through demo tests and has moved away from a fixed-schedule system to adopt a flexible, incentive-based collaborative structure. Thanks to these structural improvements, there has not been a single complaint since the system was overhauled.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Efforts to optimize space utilization to return to profitability and maximize operating rates are also gaining momentum. To address the structural issue of limited revenue growth\u2014due to having only four beds\u2014the company plans to reconfigure the lobby area and the optician\u2019s shop space. The company is considering introducing a new \u201ctwo-bed room\u201d that colleagues or family members can use together to improve space efficiency, as well as new services\u2014such as head spa treatments\u2014that align with the lounge concept.    <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The most notable change is that it is being transformed into a \u201ctrue wellness space\u201d for employees. Recognizing that hospital staff, who typically finish work at 8 p.m., have had difficulty using the lounge on weekdays, the facility has extended its hours until 10 p.m. and will remain open 363 days a year.   <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kim Min, the manager in charge of the lounge, said, \u201cOur primary goal is to turn a profit so that the lounge can operate independently,\u201d adding, \u201cIn the long term, I want to revive the former healthcare division and develop it into a space dedicated to employee welfare.\u201d \u201cSince we offer benefits every quarter, I hope all employees will come and use the lounge frequently. In particular, the usage rate among male employees is far too low!!\u201d <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Minish Lounge Cheongdam is undergoing a transformation under the slogan \u201cMake Smile.\u201d It is being reborn as a space for beauty and wellness that maximizes one\u2019s appearance when smiling.   <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":253175239,"featured_media":15849,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[121434],"tags":[122666,121940,122451,122667,122225],"class_list":["post-15847","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-focus","tag-lounge-cheongdam","tag-minish-lounge","tag-minishcheongdam-lounge","tag-sonid","tag-valmont-spa"],"acf":{"slide":"","new_exclude":[],"popular_status":"\ubd80","popular_order":"","excerpt":"Minish Lounge Cheongdam is undergoing a transformation under the slogan \u201cMake Smile.\u201d It is being reborn as a space for beauty and wellness that maximizes one\u2019s appearance when smiling.
