Tempo TOC Gotanda: A New Era for Restaurant Support

On February 2, 2023, Tempo Busters will launch its new location, Tempo TOC Gotanda, in Tokyo's Shinagawa Ward. This marks a significant milestone in their aggressive strategy to expand to 300 stores nationwide, aimed at elevating the survival rates of restaurants across Japan, especially in the face of rising ingredient costs and labor shortages.

The Vision Behind Tempo TOC Gotanda

The main goal behind Tempo TOC Gotanda is not just to be another retail space for kitchen equipment but to serve as a comprehensive support platform for restaurant owners. The store is set to offer unique solutions that encompass everything from finding the right property and interior design to hiring staff and ensuring smooth business succession for future generations. By focusing on these areas, Tempo aims to transform every restaurant into a 'winning establishment'.

A Meeting Point for Restaurant Owners

Tempo TOC Gotanda will serve as a central hub for restaurant operators in the surrounding areas, including Shinagawa, Meguro, and Setagaya. It will assist individual entrepreneurs and chain restaurants alike, providing tailored support at various stages of their operations. By acting as a 'refuge' for restaurant owners in the competitive Gotanda district, the new store will encourage local business collaboration and empowerment.

Accelerated Expansion Plans

Adopting an unprecedented pace of expansion, Tempo aims to double its annual store openings from 10 to 20. This rapid growth is expected to not only boost Tempo's operations but also serve as a beacon of hope for the restaurant industry as a whole.

A Holistic Approach to Restaurant Management

Historically, Tempo was known as a place to purchase kitchen appliances and supplies at competitive prices. However, the company is redefining its identity. Now, when a potential restaurant owner thinks, “I want to open a shop!”, they can turn to Tempo for a full suite of services. From property introduction to interior renovations, and even marketing strategies to attract customers, Tempo’s team of experts will be on hand to provide solutions. Furthermore, with the introduction of modern IT systems, the challenges of managing staff and operations will become more manageable.

The Heartfelt Mission of Tempo

The impetus for this rapid store rollout stems from a deep concern about the future of Japanese dining culture. Tempo recognizes that many talented chefs often close their doors simply because they lack the business acumen to thrive. The company has witnessed countless such failures and realized that merely offering affordable equipment could not save these struggling restaurants.

As part of their mission to support restaurant owners, Tempo’s Gotanda location embodies their passion for this industry—a passion reflected in their commitment to reducing the number of business closures across the country. The establishment of Tempo TOC Gotanda is a direct response to the needs and challenges faced by food entrepreneurs in the area.

Event Details

To celebrate the launch, a special media preview will take place on January 30, 2023, at 11:00 AM. Attendees will be able to freely capture photos inside the store, hear about their business strategies, and participate in individual interviews with company leaders. The venue for this event is Tempo Busters TOC Gotanda, located at 7-22-17 Nishi-Gotanda, 6F TOC Building, Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo.

In summary, Tempo TOC Gotanda isn’t just a new store; it’s a major strategic move to invigorate Japan's restaurant industry and provide a network of support for existing and aspiring food business owners. By fostering an environment that helps owners from the initial setup to eventual business succession, Tempo is positioning itself as a leader in the restaurant support sector.
