Historic Dogo Onsen Ryokan 'Chaharu' Adopts 'CHEFLINK' Platform to Address Chef Shortages

Sharedine Co., Ltd. has announced that 'Chaharu,' a ryokan located in Japan's oldest hot spring district, Dogo Onsen, has implemented the professional chef matching platform 'CHEFLINK.' Amid a serious labor shortage driven by the recovery of tourism and inbound demand, Chaharu aims to secure high-quality culinary professionals for the upcoming summer peak season. The platform allows for flexible spot-hiring (from 3 hours) and supports the transition to full-time employment, helping the inn maintain service excellence while improving employee well-being.
