In support of the “Sitting Yes Project”, which aims to solve the problem of “standing up” during part-time work, of the part-time job information site “Mynavi Baito” run by President and Executive Officer (Yoshiaki Tsuchiya), five Goody stores have opened in-store cash registers. We have started introducing chairs that can be used to sit in the space.
This will be the first time a home center in Kyushu has introduced the system. The “Sitting Iss Project” aims to solve the problem of “standing all the time” during work, which is a hidden problem for many employees who work mainly in the cashier service industry at stores. Aiming to solve this problem, this initiative will increase the number of options for comfortable working environments by increasing the number of sitting environments.
Sitting Iiss Cash register usage example
We hope that by improving the working environment for cashier staff, which requires them to keep standing, they will be able to work comfortably and attract new employees.
Goody will continue to work to create such a worker-friendly environment.
Another advantage of this special chair is that it allows customers to stand up naturally right before using the cash register.
Being able to sit in a waiting situation reduces fatigue and strain.

We will also post a POP with information regarding the use of special chairs to inform customers who visit our store that we have started an environment where they can work while sitting.
By making this project widely known, we aim to update the invisible custom of serving customers while standing, and to make it more natural to work while sitting.
Sit down! Information POP
Goody will begin operation at five stores on September 12, 2024, and plans to gradually expand the number of operational stores.

Impressions when using Goody Stuff
“I want to continue sitting and working.”
“The burden on my legs and lower back has been reduced.”
“It makes you feel better.”
“The seat is tilted forward so you can stand up straight.”
“I was able to see the customers calmly.”
“I felt like this is a company that cares about its employees.” “I’m concerned about the customer’s perspective.”
“Sometimes it gets in the way when I’m busy.”
In the future, we plan to inform you about the ability to work while sitting on the Goody recruitment page on the MyNavi Part-time job site.
At Goody, we believe that by creating a comfortable and easy-to-work workplace, we can provide even more smiling customer service. We will continue to strive to create an environment where our employees can work energetically and comfortably.
