I own a restaurant in Hawaii.
I just started last year.
We are a fast food restaurant with a large menu and we are having a hard time training newcomers.
We would like to have a central kitchen so that everyone can have the same taste
right away.
We don't know what kind of movement we should make at the beginning...
Please let us know if you have any information.
Thank you very much.

Why don't you set your salary higher and hire good people ？.

KIKO is right.
As long as we are recruiting at that salary,
we will only get people at that salary level. If you keep messing around patiently, I think it's fine as it is.

If that's not possible, systemize （ mechanize ） the operation like a chain restaurant and spend money on it, and it will be solved.

If you don't have that money, then create an operations system that allows you to mechanize your employees.

Dual nationality passport expired

Question

  • 2024/12/13 09:25

My dual nationality child's Japanese passport expires in six months. When I tried to purchase a ticket to Japan for next summer, I was unable to make a reservation because my passport information is about to expire. Since my U.S. passport is valid until 2026, can I travel to Japan with only my U.S. passport this time? I originally traveled between Japan and Hawaii with only one U.S. passport, but when travel restrictions were established in Corona, I got a Japanese passport as well.

At this point, you are having trouble making a reservation with your Japanese passport information ？
If your first priority is to book your airline ticket and secure your itinerary, you should first enter your US passport information and secure your airline ticket, since you have over six months until your actual travel In the meantime, renew your Japanese passport.
When it comes time to actually travel to Japan, is it not possible to present both the U.S. passport （ that was used to enter the reservation information ） and the Japanese passport （ that has been renewed and is valid enough to enter Japan ） at check-in and use the Japanese passport to enter Japan? ？ and use the Japanese passport to enter Japan?

Now you can still renew it at the consulate in a week or so
so why not do it at the consulate ？ and you can do it a year before it expires.

Excuse me, I missed reading that. You have a period of time until the year after next.
I think you can use an American passport out and a Japanese passport in and out of Japan ？
I don't think you have to make a reservation either way ？.

Thank you for your answer
I was able to purchase a ticket successfully with my American passport information. Even though I purchased the ticket with an American passport, when I arrive at the airport in Japan, should I get in line with the Japanese and enter the country with a Japanese passport? On the way back, do I leave the Japanese airport with a Japanese passport and enter with an American passport when I arrive in Hawaii?

I received this email two days ago, and today I remembered and read it again and found that the deadline was today. I clicked on the link, but I had to disable my computer security to open it, and while I was trying to figure out how to do that, I realized that it was a fake email.
Do you think I can be sure it is a fake email because the sender's email address does not look like a bank ？ I am puzzled because this is the first time I have received such an email from someone claiming to be a Japanese bank.

I think it's a *fake*.
I don't think banks can terminate accounts on their own, whether they are perpetual accounts or frozen accounts, so if you have such an account, I think it is safe to contact the bank here.

"Mitsubishi UFJ Bank will never send you an e-mail directly to the Internet Banking login screen and ask you to enter your password ・ PIN, etc. "Mitsubishi UFJ Bank will never ask you to enter your password or PIN by directing you to the Internet Banking login screen via email.

I'm not quite sure where to call the bank, and I don't want to email them, but I don't seem to request anything by email. I certainly don't use the bank's online banking and would not have given my e-mail address to the bank. Since I don't use net banking, I am a little worried that I won't be able to check it until my next trip back to Japan. However, I think I might be able to find out if anything is wrong because sometimes my father deposits my allowance and I don't think I would be able to deposit it if it was frozen or cancelled.

I used to use wise, but when I looked at it after a long time, I found that it charges a remittance fee.
I remember it didn't charge me before …

What do you use now ？
Please let me know if you have any recommendations.

There was a fee before Wise.
I don't think it is possible for international money transfers to be free of remittance fees.
When I was put on hold due to a mistake in operation when I temporarily returned to Japan, customer service helped me out with their quick response.
So far, I think Wise is the fastest and cheapest.

If you know of a place in Honolulu, preferably near Ala Moana or Downtown, where I can get my watch battery changed, please let me know. The battery in my watch that I use for work has run out and I need to get it replaced ASAP, but the watch shop on Pensacola St. that I usually go to is on vacation until 12/14, so I am in a bind. It is a simple watch with water resistance.

Alamoana or Down town Longs Drugs can change your battery ， You can drop off your watch and pick it up on the designated day.
It's not like in Japan where you have to wait in the store while they change the battery

I have no problem requesting more than a week off when I'm part time and have no benefits ？ I reported 3 months before the expected date.
Depending on the size of the company, busy season, etc., there are even times when my co-workers and bosses are not happy with me ？ If taking a vacation would cause problems for the company, I would be willing to quit.

Supplement.
I have been on vacation for a long time, but I have weekends off, so there are 7 days that I can't come to work. When I reported it to my boss, he looked at me with a little disapproval, but I told him that I would do something about it and he agreed, but I am worried that it will be a great inconvenience.

You mean in Hawaii （ within the US ）.
I think there are not many thoughtful people who report three months before their schedule, but unless it is a very small company, everyone takes their vacations without hesitation. I think only Japanese people can't take a vacation because they wonder if it would be a nuisance.

I use FB and IG to buy and sell unwanted items privately.
I get paid by Venmo or paypal, but is there a rule that says I have to file a tax return if my income is over 200,000 yen per year?

I did a quick search and found that it depends on the state, but I didn't know the amount in Hawaii.

This is my understanding, which I quickly researched because I was curious.
Anyone, please point out if my understanding is incorrect.

As a general rule, it seems that if you sell your own unused items for less than the purchase price, no tax is due.

When exchanging money via Paypal, Sending to a friend （ without protection ） is not taxed. Paying for an item or service （ with protection ） may be taxable
https://www.paypal.com/us/cshelp/article/whats-the- difference-between-friends-and-family-or-goods-and-services-payments-help277

Paying for an item or service if more than the specified amount is transferred, Paypal has to report it to the IRS as a 1099-K.
https://www.paypal.com/us/cshelp/article/will-paypal-report-my-sales-to-the-irs-help543

Furthermore, here is a 1099-K for a private sale. What to do ？ but ultimately you should consult a tax professional.
Will the updated 1099-K threshold change apply if I sell personal property, like a couch or an item at a garage sale, if it was sold for less than its Will I be issued a Form 1099-K?
Form 1099-K is an IRS informational tax form that is used to report goods and services payments received by a business or individual in the While payment service providers, like PayPal and Venmo, are required by the IRS to send customers a Form-1099K if they meet the threshold amount ($ 5,000 for calendar year 2024, $ 2,500 for calendar year 2025, or $ 600 for calendar years 2026 and beyond^) PayPal is required to report the total gross amount of payments received for goods and services. PayPal is required to report the total gross amount of payments received for goods and services which can include:

Refunded We encourage customers to speak with a tax professional when reviewing their 1099-K and 1099-K tax returns. We encourage customers to speak with a tax professional when reviewing their 1099-Ks to determine whether specific amounts are classified as taxable income. I think this will not be a problem if the transaction is less than the amount, but in a few years $ it seems that 1099-Ks will be issued for transactions over 600, which could complicate the tax return process.

I don't know if #4 is the same as the questioner, but ・ ・ ・
if there is a $ 5,000+ transaction on Paypal for an item or service on 2024, the
1099-K form, Paypal will send a 1099-K to the IRS and the taxpayer.
Basically, the amount shown on the 1099-K should be reported as income on your tax return, but if you sell unused items （ and the sale price is lower than the purchase price ） you may not be eligible.
However, PayPal's comment is that you should seek the opinion of a tax accountant or other expert to determine whether or not you are eligible.

In summary, I think it would be a good idea to consult a tax accountant for more information.
