Problems
If even one applies, we would love to hear your story.
You have store managers who follow instructions, but no “right hand” you can trust to deliver results on their own 
You have the fixes (FL costs, sales) in mind, yet things stall when it comes to putting them into practice on the floor 
You are kept busy with individual measures such as hiring or marketing, but they never add up to results for the business as a whole 
You want to grow to 10 or 30 stores, but you have reached the limit of what you can drive alone 
Rather than textbook answers from AI or consultants, you want a right hand who moves your own front line with you Those challenges?
VERY GJ, your Right-Hand Partner for CEOs,
is here to solve them!
While taking local No. 1 restaurants to nationwide and overseas expansion, we have turned many “wait-for-instructions” store managers into self-driven executives. That real-world development know-how is what we bring.
Rather than simply “cutting numbers,” we have improved profit margins (FL costs) without compromising branding or QSC, building highly profitable operations that can sustain nationwide growth — through many tough, hands-on turnarounds.
We have the big-picture insight to link brand development, store operations, hiring, internal systems, PR and growth strategy into one success. Instead of one-off PR or ad-hoc hiring, we design the story of your whole business so that investment leads directly to profit.
Having scaled personality-dependent single stores into repeatable nationwide, franchise and overseas operations, we know how to build “an organization where offense and defense run on their own.” We have extensive hands-on experience resolving the “organizational strain” that always appears when growing to 10–30 stores.
Our real strength is the “ability to move people on the front line,” built in down-to-earth restaurants all over Japan. As people with real nationwide-expansion experience, we translate the logical answers of data and AI into “passion and words that teams accept and want to act on.”
Track Record
A record of the changes we have made together with restaurant companies across Japan.
Reason
How have we built up this track record?
1stWe strengthen your entire company, from management to the front line
Know-how (repeatability) means nothing if the front line doesn’t act on it (adoption), and even when the front line acts, growth stalls if support covers only certain tasks (scope). VERY GJ is the only support provider that addresses all three at once — and drives them directly as your right hand.
2ndUse professional expertise without hiring executives
Without the risk of hiring and training executives earning several million to over 10 million yen a year, you can bring in professional thinking and drive on a monthly basis — and pursue multi-store expansion by the shortest route, free of heavy fixed costs.
3rdYou no longer have to carry everything alone
We resolve concerns such as “I hold back from giving firm instructions to my staff” or “initiatives stall because of internal politics and relationships.” As an objective yet passionate third-party professional, we bring the front line on board and lighten the CEO’s load as much as possible.

Voice
I had ideas for improvement, but once I passed them to my executives, I still ended up driving everything myself. As we worked together — from framing issues to engaging store managers and reviewing results — my executives began proposing on their own, “This is the cause, so here’s how we’ll fix it,” and now move store managers to deliver results.
Everything came to me for approval, and I felt we could never reach 10 or 30 stores that way. We built store management systems with the Right-Hand Partner for CEOs, and now they handle everything from running executive meetings to following up on execution. I can focus on preparing new stores — we opened two this year and plan more next year. Our path to growth is finally visible.
From AI and consultants, I had a fair idea of what we should do. But knowing the right answer alone doesn’t move the front line. Because they understood our people and our stores and moved together with us, our store managers changed how they act. We went from a company that stops at decisions to one that executes.
We spent money on hiring, yet people left. We brought in customers, yet the stores couldn’t keep up. We were taking action, but no profit remained. They looked at the whole company with us, worked out what to fix first, and moved hiring, training and promotion forward while coordinating with the front line. Now everything meshes, and our efforts turn into profit.
