Expansion of contracted social services, after-school childcare and school meals for local governments

「今後は、学校給食・社会サービス事業とのクロスセル提案を推進し、新規獲得を加速させます。」

「The school meals business, previously classified as the social services business, will be reclassified as the B2B subscription business because its business characteristics are very similar to those of the meal services business for elderly care facilities, nursery schools, company cafeterias and other customers, which is a core business of the company's B2B subscription business.」

「The number of contracts increased compared with the same period when the business was operated by シダックス株式会社, as the company steadily increased contracts by proposing a variety of services to meet diversifying childcare needs, particularly in after-school childcare and school meals.」

「In the social services business, the company provides contracted services for local governments, including school meals, after-school children's clubs, children's centres, libraries and roadside stations, as well as facility management and operation, and provides various outsourcing services for private-sector companies. In response to demand for outsourcing public services to the private sector amid labour shortages and rising costs caused by the declining birth rate and ageing population, the company has continued its proactive proposal activities from the previous fiscal year. In particular, it increased the number of contracts by proposing a variety of services to meet diversifying childcare needs, mainly in after-school childcare and school meals, resulting in an increase compared with the same period when the business was operated by シダックス株式会社.」
