It is you who will connect the taste of Awajiya to the future.

Founded in 1903. For 120 years, Awajiya has been manufacturing and selling ekiben mainly in the Kansai area. It has been sold at large terminals, famous department stores, event venues such as professional baseball and J League, and has been loved by many customers.

Our strength lies in our solid management foundation created by the trust we have cultivated over many years.
However, we are not satisfied with the status quo. In the future, we plan to expand our business not only in the domestic market, but also in the domestic market, centered on strategies that focus on the spread of "ekiben culture" overseas.

You will be entrusted with route sales, such as planning proposals, product planning, and sales promotions for customers. It will be the first directly managed store in the Kanto area. You will be in charge of a wide variety of tasks such as purchasing at directly managed stores and overall management work including marketing.

----- Comments from the interviewer -----

[Impression of the company from the interview]
The value chain of a food manufacturer starts with product planning. For this reason, most companies almost always have a product planning department. However, the company does not have a product planning department. The company's strategy must be hidden here. The reporter who thought so asked Mr. Mori, who is in charge of recruitment. Apparently, the company believes that employees who know the site well can come up with better ideas. He says that by seeing customers choosing ekiben up close and directly receiving their impressions, it is possible to get a more accurate picture of what consumers want and what kind of products they want. That's why I felt that the company's products are innovative and appreciated by customers. Of course, when you join this company, you will also be involved in product planning. What kind of products can make customers happy? If you take a bird's-eye view of the bento product, you should be able to enjoy your work even more!

[Rewarding and rigor of this job]
[Rewarding] You can have a rare experience of opening a new store. Of course, things may not go as planned or unexpected things may happen, but the sense of accomplishment when you overcome such things and the store is born is very rewarding. Together with seniors who have been involved in many store opening preparations, please bring excitement to the first store in the Kanto region!

[Severity] Despite being a long-established company that has been in business for 120 years, it is characterized by an unconventional and challenging corporate culture. In addition to that, since the range of work is wide, it is necessary to have an attitude of actively trying to learn on your own. It can be said that it is difficult to acquire knowledge just by waiting.

[Suitable & unsuitable for this job]
[Suitable people] This is a rare recruitment that allows you to challenge various tasks from inexperienced people. It is true that there are various aspects of our company that are inadequate, but we are better suited to the attitude of making changes and overcoming them ourselves.

[Who is not suitable for] Passive posture is not suitable. Those who actively ask questions, have a positive attitude to learn, and those who seek new things will enjoy their work more.
