Previous warns/kicks/bans:
There has never been an instance where I’ve been banned. My record is mostly clean with at most 2 warnings for not being in school. I have one standing warning for cosmetic abuse but I cleared up why it was a warning in /help and completely understood why I was in the wrong.
Shop wanted: Cherry St Cafe
Why do you want to own a shop?:
To be straightforward and honest I’ve wanted to own a shop for quite some time as I have had ideas that I would be delighted to incorporate into Karakura. The economy of Karakura is complex and allows for refreshing role play because players get excited about new items and having exclusives. I love what shop owners have done thus far, but I am ready to offer some new ideas to help remind players that the shopping district will continue to change in order to cater to a better role play experience.
What do you plan to do with the shop?:
Below I have attached an inspiration model which will be the basis for the aesthetic that the cafe is going for. We do plan on keeping and incorporating some of the old shop's aspects. For example, the open patio. We do, however, wish to change the floor plan to better suit our vision.
The ideal cafe is a relaxing environment full of beverages where work can be done. While I want to remain true to the Cafe aspect of it, I also believe there is an opportunity to explore what other variety of foods and pastries our shop could sell. (See more in the menu below) The biggest changes are that I plan to create a relaxing environment that allows students of Karakura HS, as well as the Karakura College, to study, unwind, and connect with their peers. If we are accepted to have a shop, I do not plan to open operations immediately, as I plan to thoroughly construct an atmosphere that will better the role play experience. Ideally, I would like the shop to be open at all times whenever I am online. The reason for this is that a real cafe would be open at most times during the day, however, I have come to the consensus that this might cause issues with selling items. My solution is that I would open the cafe for those who would like to unwind and study and only sell items that are not beverages, such as earrings or plushies, at a certain time. This solution both combats keeping a shop new and fresh while also remaining open. I was hesitant in putting this in my application, but I believe that a cafe hangout spot is crucial to help build depth.
Uniforms: These are two we had in mind but are likely to change as time goes on and as revisions are needed to provide consistency throughout the shop and it’s theme.
How will your shop be unique?:
Monthly items Below I have listed two ideas for monthly changes / items I'd like to add to the shop.
Being Japanese, and having lived in Japan for most of my life until recently moving, I have come to realize there is a certain lore that attracts people to Japanese shopping culture, the mystery of it, the risk and reward, as well as the variety of items, attracts people to buying said items. While I want to have the ordinary menu, I also plan on having a few WEIRD items for players to buy. It could be anything from weird packaging or simply having a text message pop up after the item is consumed. I think that this is a very feasible way to give laughs or even create a more realistic shopping experience in Karakura.
With permission of staff, I would also like to try having a little corner of my shop sectioned off as its own sort of cashier station. I plan on having one new mystery item from around the world showing off different cultures in addition to the weird item. EX: maybe a bowl of Pho or a Thai boba shop. It could be anything really but I would like to update it once a month with a new design.
Onrain
With the “Onrain” being recently implemented, I thought it would be an amazing opportunity to have a photo shoot once a week featuring new items / customs as well as customers, this may not seem like much, but my idea for it plans to take the smaller communities of SRP and show how they all work in conjunction, for example the 3d modelers, as well as the lovely builders, while also featuring some of SRP’s players. The photo-shoot is a small idea I had in the back of my mind mainly for the intention of boosting activity on Onrain.
Another idea that sparked in my mind is ever since I heard of new implementations of Onrain we wanted our items to be “instagramable” for lack of a better term. I saw that Onrain was unique and gives players a platform that has never been done before on any server so I want to give players more of a reason to use it apart from it being unique. One of my employees downloaded Cubik two days ago and was kind enough to make me a few models to help better describe my ideas.
Above is a Cherry Blossom Mug Cake with a cherry blossom on top for a little added twist, as well as a Taiyaki, a Japanese dessert.
Our shop would want to devote some of our stock to a plethora of items that would make players want to boost their Onrain presence by posting aesthetic food pictures.
Events
Next we plan on holding catering events for weddings, birthdays, funerals, etc. Catering for weddings would allow for another avenue of role playing. Setting up organized events for players could also spread a sense of togetherness. These events will be hosted by one of my employees with hopefully integration of music and other celebratory activities. The unique thing about a cafe is it’s allowed to do catering events without coming off as odd, whereas if a grocery store were to do the same thing it would appear strange. We plan to come up with more ideas for events so that the Cherry St Cafe will never stay the same and will continue to recreate and invent new ideas that benefit the community.
Another event we have planned is to have a weekly wine tasting event for those old enough to attend. It could allow for new opportunities regarding date nights between characters, as well as allow players to mingle all while enjoying fine wines and the other luxury foods that you might find at these events. Special items will be served at this event such as wines, cheeses, freshly baked breads, and salmon. Considering the Cafe’s demographic is likely students this event is likely to attract older characters to the shop.
Open Hours
I touched a little on it before, but I would like to go into a little more depth as to why I believe having a Cafe open to public use is a good idea. The Cafe’s customer demographic is most likely students. If the shop opens after school hours, it provides a place for players to actively role play. This is unique to Karakura as the main domains where players spend time together in a public setting are at spawn, the auction house, the bank, and the school gates (after school hours). Some mainly spend their time idly staring at the auction house or chatting with friends with no particular purpose in their role play at times. I believe having the cafe open to the public when an employee is on can provide another central area for players to gather and interact with each other.
Menu
Our menu would like to focus on having a diverse selection of aesthetically pleasing foods that can be posted on Onrain. The menu has a large number of items but we plan to only sell a selection of them at a time and rotate items out, the list below is a more accurate representation of what we would like to have in stock but rotating items out could help keep the shop fresh.
Specialty bowls:
A) “Can I make money out of buying this?”
or
B) “ Oh, I know what that sushi box thingy is. I should get one.”
Beverages:
I personally guarantee that if I was given the chance to cooperate with staff in making my shop come to fruition we will be able to offer both items that boost Onrain activity as well as redefine the Cherry St Cafe’s shopping experience.
With permission of the shop faction leader I also would like to sell a few items that are not related to a cafe, for example earrings, and plushies. These are just a few design concepts they aren’t actually earrings themselves.
How many employees are you planning to have?:
It is my utmost priority to maintain my shop and hire friendly staff that cooperate easily and help add ideas as well as listen to the community. My mindset is that a boss doesn’t have all the correct answers but merely has the ability to listen to and execute the correct ones. With that in mind, I plan to work very closely with my staff to ensure happiness and an enjoyable experience for all players in Karakura. With that said, the list below details my plan for the number of employees I plan to have.
Shop Owner (1/1) - Pify (ohsp)
Shop Manager (1/2) - Exodus_Kami - Open
Creative Team (0-2) - Open
Event Hosts (1-2) - ssppalee - 1 Open
Baristas (4-10) - megisabagel, Mrpouch, Sxtanic, SGLogan - 6 Open
I would love to expand my staff if I see fit and the numbers will adjust accordingly to help provide quality service. I also intend on having employees of different time zones that would be on to help maintain the shop as we do plan on keeping it open if an employee happens to be online.
I offer my extended gratitude and appreciation for reading and considering my application, I look forward to hearing from you!
