Japan's Nikkei.net has reported today that McDonalds Japan will begin using the DS as an employee training tool later this year. The chain is developing a DS training program called "eSmart," the software with which new part-time employees will train.

The chain plans on placing around two DS systems in all its restaurants throughout the nation, which total around 3,700 shops.

According to a blog post by Andria Sang, excluding the cost of software development, the program's cost will come to around 200 million yen.

From the blog:

Using the new DS software, McDonalds believes it can cut training time by half over conventional methods, in part due of the familiarity of the DS system. It hopes to quickly get new employees out on the floor.
