About the KT League
This is an HR system created to create new value for restaurants by aiming to be the 'world's best workplace' and 'world's most smile-filled stores' as 'hospitality professionals,' rather than deciding rankings by sales alone. The catchphrase is 'To the top with a smile,' embodying Kushikatsu Tanaka's philosophy of 'Creating as many smiles as possible.'
1. About the League System
All Kushikatsu Tanaka stores are divided into a three-tier league, with rankings decided by competing for points. Criteria for promotion to a higher league or demotion to a lower league are set approximately every six months. Two types of scores are reflected in the rankings: 'Customer Satisfaction Score (from customer surveys and mystery shoppers)' and 'Bonus Score (from internal contests).' We are building a system where 'fan (customer) support' is reflected in the store ranking rather than just sales performance.
