Food and beverage as a job that you can eat for the rest of your life.
The average annual salary of a restaurant owner working for our brand is approximately 11.75 million yen! This salary is higher than that of Japanese restaurants not only in Japan but also in the United States. Ramen and udon, which are fast food in Japan, are authentic Japanese cuisine here. Our restaurant is a dining room where you enjoy food and drinks and finally taste the noodles, the kind of restaurant used for a date. Of course, the customer experience is very different. The reason we return the results of our business to individuals is because of our founder's desire to "create a restaurant where you can work for the rest of your life. We aim to create a restaurant business where people are properly rewarded for their hard work, and we are putting a lot of effort into improving the treatment of our employees.
*Average monthly salary for Japanese managers: 979,000 yen
No "hachimaki" will be rolled.
The image of the "restaurant industry" is very different from that of Japan. People involved in cooking are professionals and "artists. The way we work in the Japanese food industry is also very different from Japan. We are not ramen craftsmen who wrap a hachimaki around our heads and concentrate only on cooking, but chefs who spread Japanese food to the rest of the world. The owner's job is to search for new forms of ramen and udon and to develop new menu items that catch on to the latest trends. There is a stage where you can create a career with a new way of working, not just concentrating on cooking and serving customers.
Challenge to "Delicious !".
In the U.S., with its large land area, it is definitely cheaper to prepare food in stores, considering transportation costs. However, we deliver ingredients and soup directly from our central kitchen. This is because we are committed to "delivering the real taste. Our soup, developed to suit the American palate, has undergone dozens of iterations of improvement. We have been a restaurant of choice for many years, pursuing the quality of the food we serve ・ without compromising it.
What's Service Overtime ?"
Both pay and vacation time are set by state law to protect workers. The set work week is about 50-55 hours. Of course, there is at least a one-hour break during the workday. If you work overtime during the busy season, you will receive full overtime pay. Although we work shifts, it is normal to take two days off per week. Our style is to work hard and rest well. To create customer satisfaction, we work with our staff using English and Spanish. We have a large number of people working in a busy restaurant with lines out the door. This is our way of working.
It is a place where you can ride a wave before work.
Silicon Valley, New York. Our stores are located in the world's most cutting-edge metropolises. The experience of living in a city where diverse races gather and trends are disseminated is as stimulating as ever, no matter how many years you spend there. You can take a vacation of two weeks or more once a year and a 21-day refreshment break once a year, so when you take a break, you really take it in the American way. You can enjoy American-style activities on your days off, such as barbecues and Major League Baseball games, not to mention a furlough to return to your home country. We have a system and environment where you can cultivate your energy and vitality.
We will bear all of that anxiety.
We understand that those who want to move to the U.S. and take on the challenge may have concerns about visas and living in the U.S. We are here to help you. Our members will work with you to prepare for living in the U.S., including finding a place to live. The biggest concern may be the language barrier, but don't worry. Your first assignment will always be with a Japanese manager. This is an environment where you can learn real-life English through actual work. Please feel free to take your first step into American life. Make your next career move in the United States. We offer a new form of challenge for those of you who love the restaurant industry.
About our current staff

It is OK if you learn gradually as you work, and you can rest assured that most of our staff members will be able to communicate with you before you know it.

In Japan, some restaurants charge only 500 yen, but
In the U.S., the normal price is around 2000 yen !
Some people are surprised when they travel abroad.

It is a sign of respect for the brand and the staff working there. I don't mean to compare it with domestic, but I feel like those aspects are very different.
