Tempus Busters Set to Launch Next-Gen Store in Gotanda
Tempus Busters Inc., based in Ota, Tokyo, is gearing up to open a new flagship store named "Tempus Busters TOC Gotanda" in February 2026. Located in the iconic TOC Building in Gotanda, this new outlet represents a culmination of the company's urban strategy.
As food price inflation and acute labor shortages continue to challenge restaurants in urban areas, this store aims to be more than just a retail outlet. It will serve as a next-generation support platform for restaurants, integrating experiences with the latest kitchen equipment and advanced technological consultations through 3D blueprints and AI.
Enhancing Product Offerings for Urban Needs
At this new location, Tempus Busters is set to significantly increase the ratio of cooking tools and dishware. Unlike traditional comprehensive stores, the Gotanda store will offer a larger selection of high-quality used kitchen tools and dishware, tailored to the needs of restaurants situated in prime urban locations. By combining cutting-edge features with cost-saving opportunities characteristic of recycling businesses, the store strongly supports owners in their quest to create their ideal establishments while managing expenses efficiently.
Innovative 3D Consultation Services
The store will feature dedicated consultation areas equipped for 3D diagram proposals and management consulting. Customers will have the ability to visualize cooking workflow in realistic 3D and receive multifaceted business improvement suggestions through AI that analyzes vast amounts of management data. This scientific approach to decision-making, beginning from the selection of equipment, aims to bolster informed business strategies.
Permanent Showrooms and Experience Zones
Continuing its evolution, the new location will also house permanent showroom spaces where major kitchen equipment manufacturers and partner companies can showcase their latest technologies and trending products. Visitors can engage with expert staff for live demonstrations, staying at the forefront of industry trends and innovations.
Comprehensive Support Services
In addition to kitchen equipment and furniture procurement, the store will encompass essential services for restaurant operations, all underlined by the company’s strong network. Some of these services will include:
- - IT and DX Support: Assistance in implementing POS systems and cashless payment solutions to drive operational efficiency.
- - Real Estate and Interior Design: From introducing vacant properties to effective kitchen and interior designs and construction.
- - Human Resources Support: Solutions to staffing shortages through recruitment services.
- - Food Supply Company Coordination: Connecting customers with suppliers.
- - Cost Efficiency Programs: Helping businesses reduce utility costs.
- - Comprehensive Management Consulting: Advice on marketing strategies, employee training, and all aspects related to restaurant operations.
Unmatched Convenience in Gotanda
The TOC Gotanda building was originally designed as a wholesale hub, offering outstanding vehicular access and ample loading spaces, all while remaining conveniently located within walking distance of the train station. This means customers can purchase in-stock items and load them directly into their vehicles, providing an unmatched speed in procurement.
Symbolic Expansion into Urban Markets
The opening of the Tempus Busters flagship store is symbolic of the company's strategy to firmly establish its presence in Tokyo’s competitive market. Despite high rental costs in urban areas, the goal is to provide high-value services that maximize customer profits and represent the future of restaurant support.
