Generally, ramen shops have a strong point in terms of "flavor." Customers who eat ramen are drawn to a shop based on its strengths, such as "this shop specializes in miso, that shop specializes in tonkotsu." Ramen Kagetsu Arashi does not follow this "one shop, one flavor" business model, but instead offers new limited-time ramen flavors almost every month. Among these, the "collaboration ramen" project is attracting attention, featuring collaboration products with popular ramen shops in Tokyo that are often seen on TV programs, famous chefs, and local gourmet foods. This product development capability, which is difficult for other shops to imitate, supports the owner shop's ability to attract customers.
Estimated Startup Cost:Up to ¥5,000,000

Ramen Kagetsu Arashi offers two opening plans: the "Existing Store Takeover Opening Plan" and the "New Store Opening Plan." The "Existing Store Takeover Opening Plan" is a particularly secure plan chosen by over 70% of franchisees.
~Attractions of the "Existing Store Takeover Opening Plan"~
■ Sales and Profits Can Be Confirmed
You can see past sales performance and profits, and even take over existing customers. You can open a store with an established customer base.
■ Actual Store Can Be Inspected
You can see the actual store beforehand. You can see the size and atmosphere of the store and open with confidence.
■ Part-time Staff Can Be Taken Over
Since there is no need to train staff from scratch, you can operate with a high level of customer service from the beginning, saving training time and costs.
*Depending on the store being taken over and the timing of the takeover, it may not be possible to take over part-time staff.
Unprofitable stores are not eligible for takeover. Owners can look at long-term management, and headquarters can enhance its brand power by increasing the number of highly-rated stores.
To ensure high-quality store operations, headquarters regularly dispatches "masked supervisors" to owner-operated stores. Unlike typical "mystery shoppers," these "masked supervisors" are elite headquarters members thoroughly familiar with the Kagetsu Arashi manual, allowing them to provide on-the-spot guidance on appropriate areas for improvement, rather than relying on vague subjective opinions. They gather unspoken, invisible feedback from actual customers and use it to improve the owner-operated store. This makes it possible to maintain customer satisfaction even with limited experience!
In addition, "supervisors" dedicated to increasing satisfaction and sales, and "management consultants" who manage planning progress and offer improvement suggestions, also support owners. Even those without business experience can confidently grow into professional ramen shop owners.
The ramen industry's market size exceeds 400 billion yen, and including household consumption, it is said to be around 700 billion yen. Currently, the ramen industry is dominated by independently owned shops, and major chain stores currently account for just over 20% of all ramen shops, but this is likely to expand to 30-40% in the next 10 years. The reason for this is that ramen shop owners need to survive in this highly competitive ramen industry. To meet diversifying customer needs, extra service capabilities are necessary. It is becoming increasingly difficult for independently owned shops to adapt to changing customer needs. Franchise chain stores will continue to increase their number of stores and brand recognition, and as a result, they can be expected to attract even more customers.
