Baitoru Talk: Revolutionizing Communication in the Retail Sector

In just one year since its launch in February 2025, Baitoru Talk, a communication platform developed jointly by iRidge Inc. and Dip Corporation, has made significant strides in enhancing communication between part-time workers and store managers. With 90,000 users and 3,000 companies incorporating the platform across 9,000 stores, this application is shaping how businesses manage their workforce.

Introduction of New Features

The latest addition to Baitoru Talk is the Shift Creation Feature, available from February 24, 2026. This feature is designed to streamline the process of shift management, allowing store managers to prepare and publish shifts more efficiently. As changes in labor laws, including discussions of abolishing the exemption of the 44-hour workweek and mandating the work interval system, loom on the horizon, businesses are urged to adopt more comprehensive shift management systems to avoid legal pitfalls. Baitoru Talk aims to assist companies in adhering to these new regulations while alleviating the burdens faced by store managers and ensuring smooth communication within teams.

Improving Labor Management

With discussions around labor laws creating uncertainties, including prohibiting continuous work beyond 13 days and adhering to work intervals, the need for effective shift management becomes paramount. Baitoru Talk is not only preparing businesses for compliance but also enabling them to establish a supportive working environment where every employee can experience joy and fulfillment at work. The platform promotes open communication, ensuring that shifts are allocated in a manner that respects both business needs and employee preferences.

User-Friendly Interface

Baitoru Talk features a user-friendly smartphone application, where part-time employees can submit their desired shifts conveniently. Store managers can manage these requests through a dedicated web interface. The confirmed shifts can then be posted on a bulletin board within the app, ensuring transparency and ease of access for all parties involved.

Real-Time Visualization of Workforce Needs

Coming soon—this summer—Baitoru Talk will introduce real-time visualization of staffing levels. The platform will display how many staff members are needed at any given time based on current staffing against optimal numbers. This feature equips managers with the necessary information to promptly address staffing needs, thereby preventing workforce shortages and the strain that can accompany them.
