Operating plans and the like overseas as well!
Acquiring a wide variety of experiences outside work as well

Q. Why did you decide to work at ab-out?
A. Because I thought my efforts would be recognized and because it is a growing company I would have many opportunities. Also, because the company is opening restaurants in various countries and regions, I thought I would be able to acquire a variety of experience outside of work too by visiting various locations in the future.
Q. Tell me what a typical day is like in your current job.
A. I serve customers in the restaurant, cook, stock products, and recently, order ingredients and furnishings, among other things. I get to work at 9 a.m. Then I begin preparing to open. We open at 11 a.m. I handle customers and cook the products.
At around 2 p.m., after the lunch time peak, it is less busy so I do such things as stocking and replenishing ingredients. When that is done I take a break.
When my break is over I return to my work, and around evening, I am relieved by other staff and leave work.

Q. How is the atmosphere at your workplace?
It is very friendly and full of interesting things and staff members I like. When you don't try to hold yourself back and cheerfully and energetically communicate, you can adapt yourself quickly and that helps make it easier for you to do your work.
Q. What at work has been difficult and what has made you glad?
A. There are lunch-only set meals and seasonal menu items, and each has different toppings, amounts of noodles and boiling times, so those were difficult to memorize.
Also, I was not accustomed to using a knife so the training in that was difficult.
I was very happy when customers told me "It was good" and "thank you" as they were leaving and I felt motivated.
Also, when the store manager and senior staff recognize my improvement and praise me, I feel both happiness and a desire to work harder.

Q. Do you have any advice for employees who will come after you?
A. People tend to look for a company that fits them when looking for a job, but I felt that it is important to look for an environment that fits you.
To do so you should go to many companies' informational meetings and compare and contrast as many companies as possible.
