Shop wanted: Yoka Souvenirs/Yoka Sushi
EDIT: I noticed that the beach shop has been taken, so I will be requesting a custom shop to be located on the beach. It may be able to replace the pier lounge, gift shop, or might just be its own building.
Why do you want to own a shop?:
I previously owned a shop (Shop 9) known as Love and Pizza and it was one of my most cherished things on this server. My duties were removed due to inactivity during renovations and I am truly sorry about that. We were planning on moving the store to the beach anyways, which is why I’m applying here now. I had that restaurant for more than half a year and it brought me so many amazing memories and brought me closer to so many people. I don’t exactly make a lot of money as I give most of it to my workers, but I’m just happy to have a store. I know how to run one (due to me owning one previously) and I’m even better at managing my customers now than I was back then. I’ve learned so much about rejection, SchoolRP rules, management, and financing that I just don’t want it all to go to waste. I’d like to bring this wonder back to life even fresher and with renewed motivation (as Love and Pizza wasn’t exactly the most motivating) to be able to make something a little bit different than what I did before.
I have always wanted a shop like this but wasn’t really able to do that with Love and Pizza, as there were many restrictions regarding the size, employees, and type of store. I never even really wanted a restaurant to begin with, but I made due with it and now I’d like to do what I truly want to do. In the next section I will talk about what that exactly is, but for now, I just want to show the server the things that I’m capable of doing. I understand that even though I was working on a new design, I shouldn’t have been as inactive with my shop, so I learned something from this whole situation and it worked out anyways because I wanted to change to the beach anyways! Again, most people are probably in it for the money, but I just want to spread this great service throughout the beach. If I was accepted, many people would probably become angry that stupid Metta got the position, but I’d be willing to offer all of them jobs, just as long as they can do them properly. It’s also the summer, meaning most people (including me) are out of school. I won’t be vacationing much this summer (only for about a week in total) so I shouldn’t really be that inactive. If, for whatever reason, I’m unable to get on during the scheduled opening, workers are still required to go in to work.
The restaurant “Yoka Sushi” is an actual Japanese-style cuisine store where you can purchase sushi and other types of fish. The side of the store that sells the food would be called “Yoka Sushi”, while the other side would be “Yoka Souvenirs.” If I’m unable to turn it into a miniature gift shop, the shop would remain “Yoka Sushi.”
What do you plan to do with the shop?:
The shop’s name will be Yoka Souvenirs/Yoka Sushi (as mentioned before) and will be a little bit different than a traditional gift shop. One side of the small shop will be the actual “beach shop” with hopefully beachballs, sunscreen, etc. However, the other side of the shop will be a place where you can buy small snacks or treats. Unlike BlockyMart or 11/7 however, I won’t sell anything to make full dishes (eggs, bread, etc.) Instead, I’m planning on selling smaller snacks such as energy drinks, chips, ice cream, or some larger dishes such as sushi, cooked fish, bentos, etc. In the next section, I will have images of most of the planned items in case you’d like to add any of them. (Note, the shop will be able to run without any of them, it would just be better to have these custom items. I’d rather just not have them than have to pay real money for each one.)
On the side of the shop with the food, there should be a lot of windows and a lot of comfy chairs. I’m thinking that it could just be a place for people to chill out and eat some mochi or ice cream. I’d probably just leave the doors open most of the time for people to come in and chill, even if we aren’t selling anything at the time. Similarly to Owashi, I’m planning on having some kind of opening schedule, but it’ll be slightly different. Let’s say the shop was fully open from 12:00 to 17:30. Then, maybe from 17:31 to 19:00 only the gift shop would be open to preserve working time. It’s still in the works, but if I am accepted, I will definitely focus more on it. With a schedule, becoming inactive will be a lot less likely than before.
I’m not sure if there will be offices for all the managers, but there will either be an upstairs or downstairs with one universal office for the owner, co-owner, and managers to use. I’m also planning on having a meeting room, like Love and Pizza, to discuss future plans and to explain duties to recruits since the doors will be open most of the time. Two cashiers (one for the gift shop and one for the food), one security, one manager, and any extra workers will go in at the right time. After their shift is over, they would pay 50% to whatever manager is there currently (percentage may change) and leave.
I’m not planning for it to be a complete restaurant, like previously mentioned, but I would like to sell some seafood along with the other stuff in the store. All of the custom items mentioned in this application would also be available to the other shops on the beach, not just my own. I think it would be nice if only these shops were where you could find these items, but hogging all of them to solely one option would seem unfair, as you could jack up the price and nobody could complain.
I do know that it was listed as a “seaside restaurant” and half of the shop will be selling different kinds of fish (that side will be listed as “Yoka Sushi”), however, if the “souvenir” is too similar to the NPC shop even though it’ll be selling different items, I could make the entire store a lounge. It would follow the same rules of everything listed previously except there would be no “gift shop” side. Just let me know the details if I’m accepted!
I worked on a prototype of what the restaurant COULD look like with some ex-employees from Love and Pizza, but it’s definitely flexible to the shape of the actual building. (Note, the pavilion with the wedding spot will not be added for obvious reasons. The ceiling wasn't added on purpose to give a more clear view of the interior.)
How will your shop be unique?:
As mentioned before, my souvenir/sushi shop would sell many different products you could only find on the boardwalk. Those items will be listed at the end of this section.
And, as said in the previous section, I’m planning on having the shop doors open nearly 24/7 for people to come in and hang out. We won’t sell anything until the scheduled time, however, but it also ensures that people who just got their food and wanted to sit there and chill won’t be kicked out if they bought their food right before it closed. However, this does increase the chances of assault and/or murder, so I will have a security guard almost always watching the footage or stationed inside the store to watch just in case anything happens. If it does, they are instructed to apprehend the culprit and call the police. To ensure the safety of the guard, I may ask that they wear some sort of mask to protect their face.
Here are some ideas for items that both the NPC-run gift shop and my store could sell. (Some of them I don’t have models for and are merely ideas):
Item: Sunscreen
Type: Prop
Usage: For people who want to tan on the beach. Without it, you’ll most likely be sunburnt.
Picture:
Item: Beachball/Volleyball
Type: Prop (may be usable in the future)
Usage: To throw around or to play volleyball with.
Picture: Most likely a custom head.
Item: Mochi
Type: Food
Usage: Eating.
Picture: None currently.
Item: Iced Tea/Lemonade (either one)
Type: Drink
Usage: Eating.

Item: Senbei
Type: Food

Item: Watermelon slice

Item: Fish sticks

Picture: None currently.
If I’m only allowed to turn it into a seafood/snack lounge, then I may hire chefs or “fishermen” to go out to the ocean and fish. I’m hoping that, in the future, we’d be able to cook that fish or turn it into some other dish with the right ingredients. (In /cook).
How many employees are you planning to have?:
It really depends on what Fayble wants me to do. The following is the amount that I’ll most likely have if it ends up being a gift shop/restaurant lounge:
Job: Cashier
Age requirement: 15+
Description: Cashiers will be responsible for selling items to the customers. Then, as said before, they will hand over 50% of whatever they earn to a manger, who will then pay 50% of that to me.
Amount planned: 5-7
Subtitles: Gift shop, sushi.
Pay: 50% of what they earn.
Job: Security
Age requirement: 17+
Description: Security is required to make sure no disorderly conduct takes place inside the store. If they see someone attempting something illegal or disruptive, they are to ask them to stop. If they refuse, security must escort that person out and make sure they don’t come back in.
Amount planned: 3-5
Subtitles: Day, night.
Pay: 4K per shift plus anything they have to deal with. (Added price decided by me or managers.)
Job: Janitor
Age requirement: None.
Description: They will clean up anything that has been spilled or produced onto property. Janitors will also clean the store before and after openings.
Amount planned: 1-2
Subtitles: None.
Pay: 1K per shift plus anything they have to deal with. (Added price decided by me or managers.)
Job: Manager
Age requirement: 17+ (Preferably 18.)
Description: Managers will manage the store while I’m gone or when I can’t be at a specific place. Different managers handle different spots so that the entire store is covered.
Amount planned: 2-3
Subtitles: Cashier, security, personal.
Pay: Custom pay according to their subtitle. (See previous job pays.) Personal will be paid 4K per shift.
If I’m unable to have the gift shop section, all jobs will stay the same except cashier. Here is the updated cashier:
Job: Cashier
Age requirement: 15+

Pay: 50% of what they earn.
I do hope that you consider me to own this shop! If you have any questions about my capabilities or would like me to do something specific with it, you can always reach me on Discord.
