Transforming Restaurant Operations: Focusing on Automation and Data-Driven Management

Introduction

In the ever-evolving landscape of the restaurant industry, the pressures of labor shortages and rising operational costs are becoming increasingly apparent. Many establishments rely heavily on managers to shoulder all responsibilities, leading to inefficiency and burnout. To address these significant challenges, Crossbit, based in Chiyoda, Tokyo, is participating in an online seminar on November 20, 2025, hosted by Tacoms. This seminar aims to highlight the importance of systematizing restaurant operations and utilizing data to optimize performance.

Background: The Current State of Restaurants

Restaurants today are facing unprecedented challenges. With a shortage of staff and skyrocketing costs, the traditional model—where managers juggle everything from inventory to scheduling—is becoming untenable. Such a situation not only hampers operational efficiency but also limits the time managers can dedicate to strategic planning and team leadership.

The key to sustainable profitability lies in reducing non-revenue-generating tasks and automating processes. By optimizing labor costs and standardizing operational procedures, restaurant owners can identify waste in both time and resources. Furthermore, visualizing workflows allows for further improvements and enables any staff member to deliver consistent service quality through clear training and data-driven methods.

Seminar Overview

During the seminar, titled “Breaking Free from Managerial Overload! Systematic and Data-Driven Operations for the Frontline,” participants will discover applications of three cloud services: Rakushifu, HANZO, and Camel. These tools collectively aim to improve labor cost optimization and demonstrate standardized operational procedures within the restaurant sector.

With insights gathered from real-world case studies, the seminar will focus on how businesses can achieve a balance between workload reduction and profit maximization. The ultimate goal is to empower restaurant managers with the necessary time to unleash their full potential, thereby enhancing customer satisfaction while maintaining operational sustainability.

Featured Speakers

The seminar will feature prominent industry voices:

- Ryo Kamo, Head of Account Management at Goals, who founded an agricultural company during his graduate studies and later worked in sales and marketing before joining Goals to focus on eliminating waste in the food industry.
- Sho Sugita, VP of Sales at Tacoms, who has facilitated partnerships with over 9,000 stores while personally engaging with them to offer operational improvement insights across various restaurant models.
- Jun Noda, Head of Field Sales at Crossbit, who previously worked in consulting and is dedicated to helping restaurants optimize staff allocation and enhance efficiency in over 500 venues.
