So you can rest assured that our career advisors will have a solid foundation of information and impression of the restaurant when introducing the position to you!

This is Japanese-owned engineering university located in an Cambodian public park.

The owner wants to create a university town focused on education in engineering.
It should be a comfortable environment that anyone can be a part of,
and the owner is also thinking of giving the campus some resort-like qualities.

There are 10 new Japanese students enrolled this year, and the Japanese faculty is also increasing.
Now that the Japanese students' families are visiting more often, there is a need for a Japanese dining establishment on-sit.

They are looking for a business partner who is looking to take on the challenge of creating a Japanese restaurant for the university!

now is your opportunity to try a new challenge and make this a reality!

The average salary in Cambodia is about 4 million JPY, and the cost of living is very low.

This is an affordable Japanese to make your dream of opening a restaurant come true!

and how much with a representative from the university.
