「Regarding recruitment and training, we will actively recruit and train foreign nationals to address the personnel recruitment challenges expected in the future. First, in October 2023, we accepted 10 Vietnamese interns. Rather than assigning them to stores immediately, we provided 2 weeks of group training, covering basic aspects of daily life in Japan, basic store terminology, clearing tables, greeting and guiding new customers, preparing salad-bar items, and other basic duties. We repeated the training until they could work effectively on site. As a result, they became effective members of store staff, and some were able to perform a full range of store duties in less than 2 months. By setting goals and continuing training, we believe we can develop personnel capable of becoming store managers at an early stage. One challenge is the widening gap in capabilities depending on the amount of training received, so we aim to raise overall proficiency through progress management and follow-up. We will continue to actively recruit and train foreign nationals, accepting an additional 20 specified skilled workers for the food-service industry during the next fiscal year, in addition to the 10 current interns, bringing the total to 30, and provide training and promotion to store-management positions.」
