Enhancing Retention of Foreign Workers in the Restaurant Sector with New App Features

Supporting Foreign Restaurant Workers in Japan



In the face of a labor shortage, retaining staff in the restaurant sector has become increasingly challenging. Recognizing this, AI Sapuri has introduced a new feature called "Text Jump" in their app, specifically designed to help foreign workers prepare for the Technical Skills Exam Level 2 for the food service industry. This innovative feature allows users to jump directly to the relevant study materials after encountering an incorrectly answered question, thus greatly improving the learning efficiency for busy students working while studying.

Background: Transitioning to Technical Skills Level 2



Starting from April 2026, the Japanese government will halt the acceptance of new applicants under the Technical Skills Level 1 program, which has made it essential for companies in the food sector to focus on transitioning to the Level 2 program. Level 2 visa holders can remain in Japan indefinitely and may bring their families, making them a crucial part of long-term employment strategies. However, passing the Level 2 Technical Skills Exam requires knowledge on par with that of supervisors, making self-study while working a significant challenge.

The Role of the Technical Skills App



AI Sapuri's app, known as "Technical Skills Supplement," serves a critical role similar to that of a private tutor. It focuses on problem-solving practices tailored to the Specific Skills Exam. As users solve questions, the app learns their weak spots and generates targeted problems for them, providing a personalized study experience. The app visualizes performance data to show exactly where users struggle, making their learning goals clear at all times and allowing them to track their progress towards meeting the passing criteria.

New Feature: Transforming Mistakes into Learning Opportunities



The newly added "Text Jump" feature turns mistakes into valuable learning moments. Instead of reading lengthy texts, users can focus on the questions they got wrong while their interest in that particular topic is high. By offering a one-tap solution to access related study materials immediately after a misstep, input efficiency is significantly increased. This process creates a loop: users solve a problem, identify gaps in their knowledge, review the relevant material, and return to practice, thus efficiently accumulating the necessary knowledge for exam success even within limited study times.

Future Outlook



AI Sapuri aims to become the foundational infrastructure for foreign workers seeking career advancement in Japan by expanding the range of areas covered and enhancing the app's learning features. The company is also committed to strengthening partnerships with receiving companies, registered support organizations, and educational institutions to foster better integration of foreign workers into the labor market.
