Streamlining and Improving the Efficiency of Business Activities

Going forward, the Company will work to level out model hours and build a structure that enables store employees to focus even more on serving customers.」

「As part of its digital transformation initiatives, following the automated ordering system using AI-based sales forecasts, the Company completed the rollout of an app that automatically creates work schedules for part-time and casual employees at all directly operated Ringer Hut and 濵かつ stores.

The system is expected to reduce the time store managers spend creating schedules by 90%.」

「The Company also introduced tablet devices at all stores and switched work manuals to video delivery, helping reduce the workload associated with training.」

「Through its “proposal system,” under which not only employees but also each part-time and casual employee can propose improvements identified in their daily work, the Company received 1,273 proposals during the consolidated fiscal year, leading to higher work efficiency and reduced workloads. In addition, an AI-based automated food-ingredient ordering system was introduced at all stores. By reducing the daily workload involved in placing orders, this has enabled employees to focus more on cooking and customer service. The Company also introduced a tablet-based platform for creating and sharing training manuals at all stores, establishing an environment in which employees can learn tasks involving physical movements, such as cooking and customer service, by watching videos.」
