BRICK Training Center
BRICK Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Ryusuke Nakamura), which operates 'Dr. Maintenance,' a DX service for store repair and facility management, opened the 'BRICK Training Center' in Iidabashi, Tokyo, on April 1, 2026. This educational facility aims to train and enhance the skills of maintenance technicians for store facilities.
This center is an industry-wide technical education hub responsible for the continuous skill improvement of 'Store Doctors' (advisors and technicians for store repairs) and new employees, providing technical training support for those seeking employment opportunities, and even accepting trainees from external companies. To realize BRICK's vision of 'a Doctor for every store,' a new initiative to support the store maintenance industry from both technological and human resource perspectives is finally beginning.
■ Mission: 'Improving Technical Prowess and Responsiveness' to Support Store Maintenance Quality
In store businesses, including restaurants, equipment troubles such as air conditioner malfunctions, kitchen equipment issues, and drainage system failures occur daily. These problems are critical as they directly impact sales and business continuity, requiring prompt and accurate responses. This goes beyond just repair skills. The ability to accurately answer customer questions and consultations, and to provide appropriate expert advice on the condition of equipment and future actions, is also a crucial capability required of a Store Doctor.
However, such skills and knowledge have often been acquired through 'on-site experience' until now, and systematic educational opportunities have not been sufficiently established. As a result, there tends to be variation in the skills and responsiveness among technicians, and learning opportunities have been limited even for technicians who wish to further develop themselves.
To realize the desire to 'deliver reliable technology and peace of mind to all stores,' an environment where technicians can continuously learn and grow in both technical skills and knowledge is essential. BRICK has directly addressed this challenge and established the BRICK Training Center to further enhance the quality of services provided through the skill improvement of Store Doctors.
■ Three Roles of the BRICK Training Center
1. Skill Improvement for Active Doctors and New Employees
It functions as a place for active Store Doctors (technicians) to further deepen their skills and for new employees to reliably acquire practical abilities before their on-site debut.
Until now, skill acquisition often depended on individual on-site experience, leading to variations in technical standards and situations where new recruits had to go to sites without sufficient preparation. At the BRICK Training Center, technicians can acquire skills progressively and systematically through practical curricula using actual store equipment.
The center provides an environment where technicians can confidently work on-site and build their careers continuously.
2. Support for Skill Acquisition and Continuous Employment for Individuals Facing Employment Difficulties
The BRICK Training Center also functions as a place to provide stable employment opportunities through specialized skills for individuals who have faced difficulties in continuous employment due to various circumstances.
As a 'Tokyo Certified Social Farm Project,' BRICK is committed to creating an environment where individuals facing employment difficulties can acquire skills and be trained to become Store Doctors who can thrive in society for a long time. Maintenance technology is a specialized skill that, once acquired, can be utilized for many years, and within the 'Dr. Maintenance' network, which currently spans thousands of stores nationwide, a field for continuous activity is secured.
The BRICK Training Center will provide an environment where individuals can gain confidence and job satisfaction through skill acquisition, and remain connected to society.
3. Open as a Training Facility for External Companies
The center will also be open as a training facility for companies in industries such as food and beverage, retail, and services that require store equipment maintenance. By widely offering BRICK's accumulated technical knowledge and practical curricula, the center will contribute to raising the overall technical level of the industry.
It is positioned as a valuable resource for companies looking to improve the technical skills of their staff or for businesses that wish to internalize maintenance operations.
■ Training Curriculum (Main Contents)
The BRICK Training Center primarily offers the following curricula, designed to simulate actual work. The equipment and curricula will be continuously updated to meet on-site needs.
Commercial Air Conditioner Disassembly and Cleaning
Pipe Cleaning
Grease Trap Cleaning
Fundamentals of General Store Equipment Maintenance
Equipment Diagnosis
Creating Equipment Medical Records for Store Facilities
Technicians who complete the training will visit stores as BRICK's 'Store Doctors (Investigators)' to diagnose the condition of equipment. The diagnostic results will be registered and accumulated in the DX system 'Dr. Maintenance' and utilized for preventive maintenance and cost optimization of equipment.
■ Comment from Representative Director Ryusuke Nakamura
'A Store Doctor is not just someone who can perform repairs. It's about being able to accurately answer customer questions and concerns regarding their equipment as an expert, and to propose optimal solutions. We believe that only by possessing both technical skills and knowledge can one truly support stores.
An environment where existing Store Doctors can further grow, where new employees can confidently step onto the field, and where individuals facing various circumstances can connect with society through skill improvement. A place where all Store Doctors can continue to learn and deliver peace of mind to customers has now been completed here.'
■ 'Dr. Maintenance'
'Dr. Maintenance' is a DX service for store repair and facility management, born from the idea of diagnosing and managing store equipment like the human body. It accumulates equipment conditions as medical records, supporting fault prevention and optimization of repair costs. Currently, it has been introduced in thousands of stores, primarily in the food and beverage, retail, and service industries, and further expansion is being promoted.
