WORK STYLE

This company has
stopped using 'food = long hours.'

In 2025, together with HR consultants, we spent about a year completely revamping our HR system. We have standardized working hours, holidays, salaries, and evaluations into rules, and operate a system at all stores that allow employees to take time off according to their shifts.

  • All stores are closed on New Year's Day.All stores will also close on the day of the employee general meeting
  • Pre-summer and Autumn Vacation— Up to three consecutive days off each combining public holidays and paid leave days
  • Birthday leave+ birthday allowance (beef slices or meal voucher worth 10,000 yen)
  • Overtime is basically within the fixed overtime allowance.Any amount exceeding the quota will be paid in full separately
  • You can take paid leave properly.Monthly monitoring of all store working hours with an attendance system

取締役 坂口大河

MESSAGE FROM DIRECTOR

Director Taiga Sakaguchi

Systems are not the end of creation.
I check every month to see if the site is truly resting.

Working hours and holiday acquisition status are checked monthly for all stores and employees through the attendance system. For stores where numbers worsen, staff reassignments are immediately revised—this accumulation has led to the current "average of about 180 hours per month." I believe that work comfort is created not by a mindset, but by a system.

The salary table reveals all positions.

If you can't see how much you can earn, you can't keep pushing yourself through a company. At Motobu Farm, salaries from the time of joining to executive officers are disclosed to all employees, and biannual evaluations are conducted based on numerical criteria such as sales achievement rates and Google review ratings.

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.

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.
