Consolidating Disparate Store Manuals with AI: Official Release of Restaurant Training Cloud 'Tenchoraku'

AndStore Inc. (Headquarters: Sendai, Miyagi Prefecture; CEO: Hiroyuki Saito) officially released 'Tenchoraku,' an e-learning cloud platform for restaurant staff, on June 9, 2026. Leveraging an AI-driven production framework, it achieves low-cost implementation. The service provides end-to-end support, from consolidating disparate store manuals to producing training videos and managing staff progress, freeing store managers from the burden of training.

Non-regular staff shortages in restaurants are at 58.6% (Teikoku Databank, January 2026), and turnover rates for part-time workers in the hospitality industry stand at 31.9% (Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare, Fiscal 2023). With limited staff and time, store managers are responsible for新人 (new employee) training alongside daily operations, often leading to omissions due to reliance on oral handovers. Conventional training systems have been costly and labour-intensive to implement, leaving many restaurants struggling to systemize their education.

'Tenchoraku' is an e-learning platform based on the concept of 'making life easier for store managers.' No dedicated app installation is required; users can log in via browsers on smartphones, tablets, or PCs. Each training module consists of three steps: 'watch video -> read text -> take test.' The tests are automatically graded by the system, and managers can track progress in real-time.

Three key changes by 'Tenchoraku': 1. Cost-effective, speedy implementation via AI: Leveraging AI for content creation realizes lower costs compared to traditional systems. 2. Consolidation of manuals: Regardless of existing manual formats, AndStore supports the organization and integration of materials into a unified program. 3. End-to-end support from production to tracking: By supporting everything including video production and visualization of staff progress, it reduces the need for oral confirmation and eliminates training omissions.
