Mega FC Systems Achieves Labor Cost Reduction Through 'Rakushifu by SmartHR' Deployment

Crossbit Inc., dedicated to maximizing the value of the 'work experience,' has announced that Mega FC Systems, operator of brands such as Yoshinoya, Gyu-Kaku, and Katsusato, has implemented the cloud-based shift management service 'Rakushifu by SmartHR' to optimize labor costs and improve store operations.

Mega FC Systems operates multiple brands across F&B and care sectors, primarily in the Kanto region. Previously, the company relied on Excel for shift management, which presented several challenges: inability to centrally track staffing levels across stores, difficulty in visualizing labor costs in monetary terms, double-bookings for staff covering multiple locations, and manual errors due to data transcription.

The adoption of 'Rakushifu' enabled centralized management of shifts across all locations and real-time tracking of staffing needs. By visualizing labor costs in monetary terms, the company achieved an annual reduction of approximately 7.64 million JPY in its first year (across 10 stores).

Additionally, by utilizing the 'ideal headcount by time slot' feature, the company achieved optimal staffing based on sales performance. The integration with LINE has streamlined shift submission, freeing up time for store managers to focus on frontline management.

Koji Kubo, President of Mega FC Systems, stated that the success was driven by 'collaborating with frontline staff to develop workflows and emphasizing the purpose behind the implementation,' highlighting the importance of every employee taking ownership.
