Overview of Five Group's Community Support Activities

Since 2021, Five Group has spearheaded a social contribution project named the ‘Five Group Children's Cafeteria Project,’ aimed at creating community spaces through food. This initiative evolved with operations at various children’s cafeterias, such as Ikebukuro and Nishikasai’s Smoky House Mokkoun, and events providing meals at local gatherings through ‘Chūka Banzai.’ The scope of their activities has broadened steadily.

Additionally, the company engages in environmental efforts, including beach clean-ups in June and September, ensuring that visitors to Enoshima can enjoy the coastline freely. Five Group is dedicated to continuing these community-based projects and contributions in the future.

Charity Menu: How It Works

The charity menu structure allows for ¥20 to ¥50 from each dish sold across Five Group locations to accumulate as donations. In 2025, customers showed incredible support, ordering 379,357 charity dishes across the entire franchise. Furthermore, the number of beneficiary organizations expanded from four to eight this year. The preferences of 2,389 employees were considered through a voting system to determine the distribution of donations, ensuring that everyone’s voice is represented. A summary of these contributions will be showcased at each restaurant to keep customers informed.
