WORK STYLE

"Eating and drinking = long hours"
It's a company I quit.

In 2025, we spent about a year working with a human resources consultant to completely revamp the personnel system for our food and beverage division. We standardized all aspects of working hours, holidays, salaries, and performance evaluations, and implemented a system in all stores that allows employees to take time off according to their shifts.

  • All stores will be closed on New Year's Day.All stores will be closed on the day of the general employee meeting.
  • Summer break / Autumn break—Combining public holidays and recommended paid leave days, each can result in a maximum of three consecutive days off.
  • Birthday holiday+ Birthday bonus (Motobu beef or meal voucher worth 10,000 yen)
  • Overtime is generally limited to within the fixed overtime allowance.Any amount exceeding the limit will be paid separately in full.
  • You can definitely take paid leave.The attendance system monitors working hours across all stores on a monthly basis.

Human Relationships

We conduct a monthly engagement survey for all employees in our food and beverage division using the external service "Mikiwame." If an item or store scores have dropped, we take action within that month, such as reviewing shifts and staffing arrangements. We measure these not just to look at good numbers, but to quickly identify problems.

取締役 坂口大河

MESSAGE FROM DIRECTOR

Director Taiga Sakaguchi

Creating a system isn't the end of the process.
I check every month to make sure the workers are actually getting enough rest.

We monitor working hours and holiday usage for all employees at our directly managed stores every month using our attendance system. If a store's figures deteriorate, we immediately review its staffing levels—and it's this accumulation of effort that has led to our current average of approximately 180 hours of overtime per month. We believe that a comfortable work environment is created through systems, not just empty rhetoric.

FAQ

FAQ

Isn't this a job posting for a farm (production department)?

Yes. This page contains recruitment information for the food and beverage division that operates our directly managed yakiniku (Japanese BBQ) restaurants. Work locations are at each restaurant; there is no work at cattle farms where cattle are raised or bred, or at meat processing facilities. Recruitment for the farm division is handled separately and is not covered by this application form.

How are shift holidays determined?

Please submit your preferences in advance, and after coordination, the decision will be made. We have secured 8 to 10 days off per month, and consecutive days off are also possible. Before summer and in autumn, we recommend taking up to three consecutive days off combining public holidays and paid leave days.

Are working hours really short?

As of July 2026, the average total monthly working hours for all employees at our directly managed yakiniku restaurants was approximately 180 hours (based on actual data from our attendance system). While there are variations depending on the store and season, we monitor working hours across all stores every month to ensure that there are no imbalances.

Can I apply even if I have no experience?

Yes, those with no experience are welcome. After joining, senior staff will provide careful guidance, mainly focusing on on-the-job training. We focus on hiring based on personal experience rather than experience.

How will salaries increase?

Appraisals are held twice a year (March and September). Evaluations are based on numerical criteria such as sales achievement rate and Google review ratings, and the results are announced at the promotion announcement event. The salary table is open for all positions, so you can always see your next target amount.

Is transportation allowance provided?

Yes, payment is made according to our company regulations (up to 20,000 yen per month). Public transportation is reimbursed at actual cost, and gasoline costs are provided for car commuting.

MESSAGE

For those who are unsure about applying.

代表取締役社長 坂口泰司
President and CEO: Taiji Sakaguchi

Motobu Farm was founded in September 1989 and is celebrating its 37th anniversary. Since its founding, we have consistently promoted the "sixth industrialization" from cattle fattening and distribution, sales in stores, to calf production. This history is built through the hard work of each individual employee and strong collaboration with the local community.

With the theme of "Kindness to People and Nature," we are actively contributing to the community in collaboration with the Motobu Town Office, such as distributing compost to local farmers and providing "Motobu beef" to elementary and junior high schools. It is precisely because we are rooted and supported by the local community that we can always take on new challenges.

Currently, Motobu Farm's key policy is "securing and developing human resources." The reason we have completely revamped our personnel system over about a year is to sincerely create an environment where energetic and motivated individuals can work and grow with peace of mind, long-term, and confident. Even if you have no experience, if you have interest and motivation, you can definitely grow here.

We are currently recruiting individuals to join our team at our directly managed yakiniku restaurant, the final destination in this integrated process, to deliver Motobu beef to our customers. While this is not a recruitment for farm production positions, the opportunity to learn about production at our own farm is a unique advantage of our group, as we handle everything from production to our restaurants.

Would you like to work with us at Motobu Ranch, which is unafraid of change and always takes on positive challenges? Let your passion and potential blossom at Motobu Ranch.
