Yoshinoya Application & Careers

Yoshinoya
Yoshinoya, a Japanese fast food restaurant chain, is known for serving up delicious traditional food at their many locations all over the world.  With a wide global footprint, the company has grown significantly throughout its one hundred plus years of rich business history.

The story is unique, and one worth noting.  Founded in 1899, this fast food chain actually made its debut as a single standing store in a fish market in Tokyo.  The years following its inception held great change for Yoshinoya.  In the 1950’s, the chain transitioned from single store restaurants into a larger stock held company.  The very first store to open in the United States was in Denver, Colorado.   Since then, more locations have popped up in the United States.  Gradually, the company has grown to over 1600 locations worldwide, with franchising options now available for hopeful future business owners and investors.

The Yoshinoya menu offers a variety of selections, including items such as their popular chicken and beef bowls, healthy soups and salads and more.  A healthy living lifestyle shines through the company’s everyday operations, which makes it stands apart from other fast food chains. With the rich history of the Japanese culture weaved into their daily company service strategy, these restaurants continue to attract new patrons daily.

This award winning company has mastered the art of combining rich healthy food selections and reasonable prices in convenient locations.  Unlike many other food chains, they are able to keep business alive in vastly different economies and cultural environments across multiple countries.

First, define what success means to you, then provide examples of how you achieved such success, and talk about your process for doing so.
