Strengths of COLOWIDE
These are two strategies that are supporting our growth.
Merchandising Strategies
The COLOWIDE Group strives to maximize value provided to customers by maintaining a high level of food safety and security. This objective is achieved through our unique merchandising strategy. Our merchandising operations are consistenly managed from product planning and research, raw material production and procurement, manufacturing, and logistics. Group synergies are created and products are tailored to meet the specific needs of our brands and their menus.

Utilization of Central Kitchens
All the factories located across Japan function as the central kitchens for the entire COLOWIDE Group, effectively reducing food preparation workload at our restaurants and allowing us to offer unique and original flavors, which is our strength.

Strengthening R&D functions
The COLOWIDE MD R&D Center devel- ops menus based on group-purchased food materials, reducing costs and improving customer value.

Procurement of Sustainable Foodstuff
The soybean meat production line at our Kanagawa factory has seen increased utilization, with commercialization advancing across various group companies. Addition- ally, we are working to ensure a stable supply of vegetables through capital invest- ment in agricultural production corporations.

Find Us Worldwide
Currently, we are expanding globally, with a presence in 12 countries and regions overseas (Asia, North America, etc.).
