Sharedine Inc. and Aspit Inc. to Co-host Free Online Seminar for Restaurants on Store Operations Amidst Labor Shortages on May 20th

Sharedine Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Akari Iida) will co-host a free online seminar for restaurant businesses titled "Store Operations in an Era Where Job Postings Don't Attract Applicants: Systematizing Operations × Flexible Staffing" with Aspit Inc., which develops cloud services for the food service industry. The seminar will be held on Wednesday, May 20, 2026, from 15:00.

The effective job opening ratio in the restaurant industry continues to be high, and the era of "applicants flocking when advertised" is over. However, guests visit daily, and the quality of service cannot be compromised. Many restaurants suffering from labor shortages fall into a "negative loop" where store managers are busy filling gaps on-site, neglecting their original management duties and staff training.

In this webinar, ASPIT, which supports "thorough efficiency in management" as the foundation of restaurant DX, and Sharedine, which proposes new talent acquisition by "borrowing professional help when needed," will take the stage. By eliminating waste through "thorough systematization of operations" and allocating freed resources to "optimal staffing," they will unveil next-generation store operation techniques that enable stable high profits with fewer people.
