Food Services
Introduction
Food service is one of the largest sectors in Japan, and it is well-represented in places like Tokyo and Osaka, where there is a steady rise in the number of restaurants. The old and the youth are the main drivers of industrial growth in Japan. One organisation that supports instruction regarding Japanese cuisine and culture is the Japan Food Service Association (JF). It also encourages the advancement of technology. There are over 615,000 restaurants in the JF.
Despite being a growing industry that's creating many jobs, it is not unaffected by a shortage of workforce. In fact, surveys have shown that the demand for workers in the industry has been increasing. There is still lack of manpower in the food service industry.
Job Demand
Employers for specified skilled workers in the food service category mostly would be in restaurants, cafes, fast-food chains, bar & lounge, bakery, and other facilities that serve food including bento (lunch box) and takeout shops. Workers should learn a wide range of skills based on the basic operations of a restaurant. The topics for study range from cleanliness management, to food preparation and customer service include cleaning up food preparation and dining areas, preparing and cooking ingredients, as well as taking customer orders, and serving food.
Employees will have the opportunity to experience a variety of roles in the food service industry, such as cleanup staff, kitchen helper, cook, bartender, or waiter. Because required skills in the food service industry can be quite diverse, and workers may just find themselves picking up some valuable and transferable skills, as well as the Japanese language by the end of their term.
