Foreign visitors in Japan struggle with the complex multi-step process to print documents at convenience stores. An app could streamline this with English UI and pre-configured settings.

Build a mobile app that prepares documents for 7-Eleven's printers, handling file conversion, payment, and QR code generation automatically.

Charge tourists and business travelers per print or via premium features. Partner with travel companies for distribution.

MVP could just handle PDFs to start. Risk is Japanese players might improve their own apps.
