crewing mama: mcdonald’s japan to use nintendo ds to train employees
Greet the customer! Ask for order! Offer apple pie! According to Nikkei, McDonald’s Japan is developing a Nintendo DS training program for part-time employees. The program is called eSmart, and will cost the fastfood giant upwards of ¥200,000,000 (approx. $2.2M USD). McDonald’s hopes that the software will cut training time by half, because just about everyone in Japan is familiar with Nintendo’s portable gaming device.
The same guys who sent me the picture of the new Mac Pro sent me the picture above. They swear it’s a screenshot of eSmart.
