"Rakushifu" Implementation Case Study at Gion Tsujiri
Background and Challenges of Adopting Cloud Shift Management "Rakushifu"
Gion Tsujiri had been managing shifts using paper and Excel, primarily with student part-time staff, and it took approximately one week from collecting desired shifts to creating, adjusting, and finalizing them. With many staff members having fluid schedules, shift creation became complex, placing a significant burden on store managers.
Furthermore, inter-store help adjustments relied on individual communication, often requiring multiple exchanges, which resulted in high adjustment costs. In addition, since each store's shifts were managed individually, it was difficult for the head office to quickly grasp the situation, affecting appropriate personnel allocation and decision-making.
Given these circumstances, there was a need to improve shift operation efficiency, inter-store collaboration, and management accuracy.
Changes and Results After Adopting Cloud Shift Management "Rakushifu"
With the introduction of "Rakushifu," it became possible to collect desired shifts via LINE integration, and the entire process from creation to adjustment was centralized. As a result, the shift creation work, which previously took about one week, has been significantly shortened to half a day to two days, reducing the workload on store managers.
Moreover, by being able to grasp the shift status of each store, recruitment for staff shortages and inter-store help adjustments became smoother, greatly improving the efficiency of adjustment tasks that previously required multiple exchanges.
Furthermore, both the head office and stores can now quickly grasp the situation, improving the accuracy of labor management and personnel allocation. In addition, the ability to see the situation of other stores has broadened the store managers' perspectives, contributing to the cultivation of an organizational culture that respects each other across stores and the elimination of previously fragmented store barriers.
Comment from the Person in Charge
Masayo Miyoshi, Managing Director, Gion Tsujiri Co., Ltd.
"Previously, shift creation took about a week, but after the introduction, it now takes half a day to two days, which has significantly changed how we work. Also, by being able to see the shifts of all stores, we have become aware of the situations and challenges of other stores that we couldn't see before, and the store managers' perspectives and management awareness have clearly changed. I truly feel that it has not only streamlined shift management but also fostered a culture where stores understand and respect each other."
