ABOUT US

[ What we want to make happen ]

MISSION

~ The World We Want to Create ~

Aiming Beyond “Oishii”

”Oishii” means delicious. We continuously explore how to create emotions beyond mere “Oishii” in every aspect of customer experience, not only by enhancing product recipes and operations but also by never ceasing to improve. Results emerge as a consequence of this endless process.

Employee Well-being

We strive to maintain the mental and physical health of our employees, honouring individual dignity and constantly pursuing what contributes to personal happiness. We respect various positions, perspectives, and ways of thinking, exploring diverse work styles that evolve with the times, and continuously seeking the enriching lives of our employees.

Connections Between People, Individuals, and Society

We engage sincerely with employees and customers, building emotional connections and trust. Moreover, we contribute to the local community, ensuring long-term business sustainability with a focus on bringing happiness to everyone involved.

VISION

~ Creating Unprecedented Value ~

“Imagination & Creation” 想像と創造

We imagine and create a bright future and the desired vision with dreams and hope. Everything starts with imagination, and beliefs shape challenges, turning thoughts into reality.

“Trial & Error” 試行錯誤

Behind every success lies numerous failures, and behind every failure lies an equal number of challenges. By tolerating failures and persistently embracing challenges, individuals and organizations define their desired identities and ideals.

“Love & Peace” 愛を持って和をなす

We guide the way with logic and move the organization with passion. Operating the organization not based on positions or attitudes but responding to actions with gratitude and engaging in communication based on trust.

Approach to
Profit

With the above VISION in mind, and to achieve our MISSION and ensure the continuity of our business, it is imperative to generate profits. Profit should never be the sole purpose; however, it is essential as a means to achieve our goals. Proper profit arises from creating added value, selling products at fair prices, paying fair wages to employees, avoiding harm to all stakeholders, and continuously striving for cost reduction.

Concrete Measures
for Achieving MISSION and VISION

Profit Redistribution “Company as a Community”

We enhance employee benefits and bonuses and distribute profits throughout the company. While this might be seen as a short-term pressure on a company’s profits, from a long-term perspective, it contributes to the company’s continuous development and the realization of individual happiness. Embracing the concept of the “company as a community,” we distribute the profits created collectively among everyone, answering the fundamental question of why and for whom the company exists through action.

Bonus System

Twice a year (March and September), a specific amount, calculated based on net profit using a unique method, is distributed to all staff based on hourly wages and total working hours. The bonus for the period from January to June is distributed in September, and the bonus for the period from July to December is distributed in March.

The distribution amount is calculated based on the net profit generated from store operations. From the base amount, corporate taxes and surplus for reinvestment in new stores and facilities are deducted. The remaining amount is multiplied by a certain percentage to determine the bonus distribution. We start with a percentage of 30% and aim for a distribution of 40% in the second year and 50% in the third year.

The rationale behind the 50% figure is that while a business cannot exist without the initial investment and risk-taking by shareholders, the business also cannot succeed without frontline staff. Hence, from the perspective that both shareholders and frontline staff are equally important, we distribute 50% to the staff and 50% to the shareholders. Given the substantial bonus amount received, tax planning through RRSP and asset management through TFSA are recommended. When opening new stores, consider contributing as an owner.
