We aim to create attractive SA / PA through collaboration with local communities

Creating a local show window

In order for customers to use SA / PA comfortably, we will work to improve basic service such as expansion of communication tools with customers and improve customer service level, discover local products, and cook dishes that can only be tasted there. We are working to “make a local show window” to provide local appeal by providing such services.

Walk-in gate maintenance

We have installed pedestrian entrances from public roads at 92 locations * so that SA / PA can be used by local residents.

Holding a customer service contest

In order to improve our customer service skills at SA / PA, we regularly hold “customer service contests” for staff working at SA / PA.

The participating staff serve as a model for improving the customer service skills of the entire store.

Holding a new menu contest

We hold a "New Menu Contest" every year where SA and PA tenants compete in the development of menus based on the theme. The theme for the 2018 convention is "#Photoge Meat (Nick)", and at the final competition in February 2019, Joban Expressway Michitomo SA (In-bound line) "Ibaraki melomero-wonderful Ibaraki" "Love with food" was awarded the Grand Prix.

We, concierges, do not have to do specific jobs, and there is no limit to what each customer needs to do differently every day. The work requires flexibility, application, creativity, and a wide range of knowledge.

It is the pleasure of us as a concierge to seek "high quality" for a wide variety of customers, always have objectivity, keep in mind high quality customer service including physical and mental management, and deliver emotions to our customers. Yes, we believe this will lead to growth.

We will make further efforts toward the Rugby World Cup 2019 Japan Games and the Tokyo 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games, including inbound response.
