Global Food Solutions: Transforming the Dining Landscape

On October 2025, a new player emerged in the dining industry, poised to tackle the multiple challenges faced by restaurants and food brands. Global Food Solutions Co., Ltd. (GFS), headquartered in Minato City, Tokyo, is set to offer a comprehensive suite of solutions tailored specifically for the food service sector. Under the leadership of President Takayuki Shimizu, GFS aims to bridge the gap between concept and execution, providing unparalleled support throughout the entire business process.

Background Behind GFS’s Establishment

The food industry is currently undergoing a significant transition, impacted by rising costs, labor shortages, generational gaps in leadership, and fierce competition. Despite the wealth of value and potential within the sector, many restaurants and brands struggle to realize their full capabilities due to a lack of effective systems, skilled personnel, and replicable business models. GFS was established to integrate on-the-ground operational expertise with specialized consulting knowledge, transcending mere advice to deliver actionable support that leads to tangible results.

Company Philosophy and Mission

At GFS, we believe in transforming ideas into reality and instilling excitement into business ventures. Our mission is to preserve and innovate Japanese cuisine, cultivating a future where people and food can thrive globally.

Vision and Values

Our vision is to nurture infinite business opportunities through food, generating endless smiles in the process. At GFS, we value those who dare to create the future of food, striving for sustainability and growth in the dining business landscape.

Core Operations: Three Pillars of Support

GFS operates through three primary business areas, each designed to provide extensive support to clients:

1. Food Consulting Services: Utilizing a specialized team, we offer hands-on support in areas such as business model development, operational enhancement, product innovation, cost optimization, marketing strategies, and digital transformation.

2. Food Consulting Farm: We facilitate a platform connecting freelance and external experts within the food industry, enabling us to assemble flexible teams tailored to the specific needs of each project. This allows us to tackle both large-scale challenges and intricate issues effectively.

3. Food Solutions: Our services extend from consulting support for restaurant management, brand operation, and franchise management to fully establishing subsidiary models for business implementation. By practicing and validating the businesses we design through consulting, we foster a circular ecosystem that reintegrates knowledge back into our consulting and platform services.

GFS’s Unique Strengths
