Tempos Opens New Store in Akita

Tempos, the leading provider of used kitchen equipment in Japan, is set to launch its first store in Akita, specifically in Noshiro City, on May 25, 2026. With this expansion, the company aims to establish a crucial support hub for local restaurants on the Sea of Japan side, allowing them to thrive in a competitive market.

A Vision of National Coverage

For many years, Tempos has strived for a national presence, and the opening of the Akita store marks a significant milestone in this mission. As a leading player in the used kitchen equipment sector, Tempos is not just about selling equipment; it strives to act as a lifeline for small and medium-sized restaurants, offering comprehensive support to help them survive and prosper.

Comprehensive Support Services

The Noshiro store will serve as a central point for various services aimed at solving the management challenges faced by restaurant owners:

• - Staffing Solutions: Addressing labor shortages in the food service industry through specialized recruitment support.
• - IT & DX Support: Assisting restaurants with the implementation of POS systems, cashless payment solutions, and waiting management systems to streamline operations.
• - Real Estate and Interior Design: Helping with efficient kitchen layout design and renovation by introducing suitable properties.
• - Management Consulting Services: Providing advice and support on promotional planning, staff training, and interior design, tailored to the specific needs of each establishment.
• - Cost Optimization: Offering cost-effective kitchen designs by utilizing both new and used equipment, informed by detailed 3D layouts.

A Tangible Experience for Owners

The Akita store promises to be a place where restaurant owners can physically interact with kitchen equipment, feel its quality, and assess its suitability in person. Instead of relying solely on catalog images, visitors will have the opportunity to open refrigerator doors, lift pots, and even sit on chairs to get a true sense of how these items will fit into their kitchens. This hands-on approach aims to minimize the discrepancies often experienced when ordering equipment online.

Listening to the Needs of Local Restaurants

Understanding the specific needs and challenges of Akita's restaurant scene is one of Tempos’ primary goals. The staff at the Noshiro store will engage in dialogues with local business owners, collecting insights about their concerns and requirements. The knowledge gained here will be critical for enhancing the company's further plans in Akita Prefecture. With a commitment to conclude partnerships with property owners, the Noshiro store is poised to facilitate Tempos’ continued expansion.

Collaboration for Regional Culinary Needs

Every region has its unique culinary requirements. For example, specialized tools are necessary for preparing traditional Akita dishes like Kiritanpo and efficiently processing local fish such as Hatahata. Instead of imposing a pre-determined lineup of products, Tempos intends to work closely with restaurant owners to curate equipment that meets their specific needs.

Commitment to the Local Restaurant Community

Finally, Tempos is thrilled to finally respond to local restaurant owners’ requests for a nearby store. While the new Noshiro store may not be perfect from the start, the team is dedicated to rooting itself in the community and growing along with it. The vibrant food culture of Akita relies heavily on the daily efforts of its restaurant owners, and Tempos seeks to support them in their work through reliable kitchen equipment and related services.
