Challenges for head offices
When operating multiple brands and business formats, cleaning, repairs, and equipment service requests often end up with different providers and reporting formats at each store. We move toward a management approach that makes the overall situation easier for head office to see, while retaining individual arrangements for each store.
- Contractors, estimates, and work report formats vary from store to store.
- Keys, access procedures, important notes, and equipment history can be difficult to pass on when a store manager changes.
- Repairs, cleaning, pest control, and air conditioning are managed separately, making it difficult to set priorities across the board.

Reducing the management burden on head office
First, we collect your store list, brands, business types, areas, existing contractors, and common cleaning and repair needs. We then set things up so you can track store profiles, work requests, quotes, arrangements, completion reports, and improvement history in one workflow.
- We help keep vendor searches, estimates, scheduling, and completion reports from becoming the sole responsibility of head office.
- Organize urgent repairs, work involving significant hygiene risks, and cleaning that would be better scheduled regularly.
- We establish a system that enables head office, area managers, and stores to check the same information and take action.

Get started while keeping your existing contractor
For multiple stores, you do not need to switch all vendors at once. You can keep the areas that are being handled well by existing vendors and shift to Misesapo the areas where reports are slow, emergency response is limited, or service varies by store.
- Please contact us if your current estimate or contract terms are unclear.
- We separate the scope to keep with your existing contractor from the scope to consolidate with Misesapo.
- Store records and photo reports provide information to support future decisions.

Nationwide Service Coordination Contact
You can request arrangements for cleaning, equipment maintenance, repairs, and hygiene management at stores throughout Japan, not just in Tokyo. This can reduce the effort of finding contractors in each area and make it easier for store headquarters to keep track of progress and completion status.
- We bring cleaning and repair requests from stores nationwide together through a single point of contact.
- We coordinate the service provider and work to suit the store, business type, and requested services.
- We keep post-work photo reports and service history to support decisions going forward.

Post-Implementation Management Information
After implementation, we aim to maintain records of each store’s requests, arrangements, completion photos, and next proposals so headquarters can compare store conditions. We organize records that reduce reliance on individual staff communications and can be used not only for routine cleaning, repairs, and equipment support, but also to assess conditions during problems or after a disaster.
- We determine which stores to manage based on your store list, brands, business formats, and areas.
- We create a store profile for each location, including points to note, keys, access procedures, and facility information.
- We standardize the process from requests, arrangements, and work through photo reports and history management.
- As part of BCP measures, we keep routine work records in a format that makes them easy to share between head office and stores.

Information to Organize Before Implementation
You do not need to switch all stores from the outset. Based on the number of stores, locations, brands, business types, frequently needed tasks, and whether you already have a service provider, you can start with the stores or tasks that are the highest priority.
- You can choose whether to start at all stores at once or to begin with a specific area or brand.
- We explain where to start when requesting cleaning, repairs, equipment maintenance, or hygiene management.
- You can define the reporting format, photos, completion reports, and level of detail for follow-up recommendations required by head office.

QUESTIONS / FAQ
Questions about the store brand management system
Can multiple brands and business formats be managed together?
We can explain how to manage locations with different business types, such as yakiniku restaurants, izakayas, ramen shops, and cafés, together. Areas prone to buildup, required work frequency, and available work times vary by business type, so you can clearly manage rules shared across all locations as well as location-specific considerations. Send us the number of locations, areas to be serviced, and preferred work times to request a quote.
Can the store brand management system also be used to organize information for stores nationwide?
Yes. Requests for cleaning, repairs, equipment maintenance, and hygiene management at stores throughout Japan can be consolidated through a single point of contact. Based on the region, work details, preferred timing, and store equipment conditions, you can decide which areas to bring under head-office management. Send us the number of stores, work locations, and times that are convenient for the work to request an estimate.
How should head office and stores manage information?
Store keys, access details, important notes, and equipment information in store records, then use photo reports to confirm the completed work. Keeping work histories also helps store managers and area managers make decisions based on the same information when managers change or area managers review the work.
Can stores with existing contractors be included in the management of store records and work history?
Stores with existing contractors can also be included in the management of work history, photo reports, store records, and priority areas for the next visit. By clarifying which tasks will remain with the existing contractor and what Misesapo will handle, head office can more easily track the status of all stores. Send us the number of stores, areas requiring work, and times that are convenient for the work to request a quote.
What information should we organize before implementation?
Organizing a store list, brands, business types, areas, opening hours, existing cleaning and repair contractors, and common facilities issues makes it easier to discuss a specific operational plan from the outset. Having photos for each store, past work records, and information about keys and access rules also makes it easier to create store profiles and plan reporting. Send us the number of stores, work locations, and preferred work hours to request an estimate.
