Describe your activity on the server:
I’m online every day from around 3PM to midnight, as chronic as that sounds. I'm most active in the evenings, but I am especially active during the weekends due to extensive free time. I can easily dedicate time to the server despite my OOC chores, and I usually stay consistent with my activity because I manage both a sports character on my main account and a councillor on my alternate one. I am a student, but that role alone hasn't interfered with my commitment to this server for long. In fact, I am very close to my summer break.

Do you acknowledge that if you are inactive you will be demoted?:
Yes, I do acknowledge this.

Shop Information
── .✦


What shop are you applying for?:

I am applying for Ryuketsu, or the restaurant slot that is open to be reinvented. For this shop, I would like to call it "Soleil Kumo" -
The name "Soleil" derives from French origins, meaning "sun", while Kumo is a Japanese word, translating to "cloud".
These two names together influence my inspiration for this shop.

Why do you want to become a Shopkeeper?:
In my opinion, Shopkeepers play a key factor in fostering player interaction. After all, they add a touch of realism in the server. Having shopkeepers definitely creates a more immersive roleplay environment, and because of this, it has been a role I've been keeping my eye on for quite some time now. Since being on the server for almost two years, I've only recently been taking my chances with positions that've interested me before. Thanks to various roleplay situations with friends in different factions, or with others who have spent time in one before, I can confidently say that the one which has stood out to me the most is shopkeeper. Even with my built up experience, I do feel like there is a lot I can improve on when it comes to my roleplaying capabilities, and I would love to channel my motivation and ideas into a possible pursuit. I am aware of the responsibilities that I will take on with this role, considering its foundation works off of a lot of management and authority, but this is something I am prepared for as a player.

What do you plan to do with your shop, and what makes it unique?:
A perfect balance between classy, understated luxury, and traditional touches from both French and Japanese aesthetics. This is the picture Soleil Kumo upholds; the restaurant where elegance meets with timeless charm. My ideas for this shop's exterior/interior may go beyond words (and even references. . ), but my favorite outlook might suggest a sophisticated look. Something cozy and fancy. . a place 100% made for fine-dining and dates. If Soleil Kumo were a restaurant, it would likely be centered around creating an unforgettable culinary experience, where guests can immerse themselves in a crafted fusion of French and Japanese cuisine. That is exactly what makes it unique! It flourishes with two distinct food cultures while respecting the nuances of each.

One of the things I'd like for my shop to do is host social gatherings every other opening. I figured it would be a way to invite and bring attraction to Soleil Kumo. Most of these ideas depend on having a little stage within the room, so here're a few of my concepts and how they'd follow through.
Kumo Karaoke
Défilé de Mode​
Talent Show(s)
Soleil Soiree​
The lights are dimmed in a soft luminosity. Anticipation hummed in the air, mixing with the clink of glasses and chirps of laughter. A small stage stood prepped, the mic glowing under a glistening light like an invitation to something absolutely humbling. Want to give it a try?​

PREVIEW :
‣ A stage/designated performance area. (With WTG link on standby.)
An Overseer will approach guests with an offer to come up on stage / vise versa.
Roleplay encouraging​
Also known as 'Fashion show'. . -
A glare illuminated the stage, casting a warm glow upon the polished floor. The first model stepped forward with effortless grace, each movement dressed in a display of poise. Guests, suited up in their finest, observed with admiration, and some were even inspired to compete next.

PREVIEW :
‣ A stage/designated performance area. (With WTG link on standby.)
An Overseer will approach guests with an offer to come up on stage / vise versa.
This event offers others to show off their tailored outfits if they wish to do so.
The winner is decided after a poll, and they are awarded a 30% discount on their next order.
Roleplay encouraging
The cozy ambience washes over the stage ahead, daring anyone with its presence to come forward, commanding the space with quiet confidence. Some individuals are trembling in their seats from second-hand embarrassment while the show hasn't even begun. Perhaps you are the first performer?

Roleplay encouraging​
The evening unfolds in a symphony of elegance. Golden light spills across the faces of guests, speakers whelmed by the echoes of classical music. Every resident within Karakura is invited at this time to enjoy a night to remember with their loved one (or friend) at our ball inspired event.

‣ WTG link on standby.
‣ An open floor for guests to roam and dance in.
Roleplay encouraging​

If I planned to host any one of these events, I would mark it on a calendar to share with my employees so that they are aware of what's to come. Same for general openings as well. Here's an example:

What will you sell in your shop?:
A French-Japanese restaurant is such a cool concept in my opinion, due to its many possibilities. Japanese seasonal item trends are deeply rooted in the country’s culture of celebrating nature and the changing seasons, and I'd like to implement that in some way with customs. I would like to sell traditional Japanese dishes as well as French pastries and/or treats. It is difficult to find French and Japanese inspired dishes as one, so of course, my searches couldn't go that far. However, here are some cute concepts. .

Most of these are just treats, not main course meals. However, I believe they'd be great and beneficial to sell in my shop.
If we're being practical, here's a starter's idea of what my menu would look like:

There are even a few foods I'd like to include if given the chance. Like dishes such as . .
- Miso-glazed croissants
- Tonkatsu sandwiches
- Macaron baskets
- Black sesame crème brûlée
Those would also have to be custom items. ^-^

How many employees do you plan to have?:
I plan to have at least 34 employees for Soleil Kumo. That sounds like a lot, but it’s really about coverage and flexibility, not having 34 people on shift at once.
So, who's on the clock?

OWNER
[1/1]

Being the owner of Soleil Kumo means overseeing all aspects of the shop, both ICLY and OOCLY. This includes handling recruitment, interviews, and deciding who joins the team. I’ll also be managing inventory and stock. I'd like to set a good example for my employees as a leader, and set goals that'll encourage Soleil Kumo's reputation.

MANAGER
[?/3]

I plan to appoint three dedicated individuals as managers within Soleil Kumo, chosen only after they’ve gained experience and shown a solid understanding of how the shop operates. They will be allowed to host openings whenever I am unavailable, or simply just unable to do so.

MAÎTRE D'
[?/4]

Also known as a "senior employee" in this case. . these individuals have proved their efforts through their attendance, granted a role under manager. They are well experienced in how the shop works, and are welcome to request openings if they wish.

EMPLOYEES
[?/16]

These individuals are like the building blocks. Think of a foundation - Without them, it would be quite difficult to operate the shop alone. 16 employees will be trusted and tasked to serve guests their delicious meals, while gaining experience along the way! Of course, those 16 won't all be in one shift...

TRIAL-EMPLOYEES
[?/?]

Having this role means they're not a real employee yet! They're on trial, which means we're testing their performance first. For four weeks to eight at max, these individuals will be monitored. But don't worry; training is offered, encouraged, and given regardless.

SECURITY
[?/3]

Three people will be trusted to watch over the shop every opening. Two inside, and one outside. This is to maintain a safe, and comfortable environment for our guests!

Will uniforms be mandatory?
While we can't force you to wear a uniform, we'd highly prefer if you did. Uniforms will be provided for all Soleil Kumo workers and staff. If for any reason you are unable to dress in the given attire, we'd like you to dress somewhat formal for our shop. This is how we'll present ourselves; with class, style, and utter professionalism.
Below is a general idea of what're uniforms could look like!

What are rules you will state?

[IC]

- No yelling within the shop.
- Remember table etiquette.
- Dress appropriately to our events and openings.
(No masks. . etc.)
- Respect one another, and enjoy your meal!

[OOC]
- Theft of any item will mean automatic removal from the shop, and staff will be notified as soon as possible.
- Inactivity for longer than five days requires an inactivity log to be created.
- An individual must pay you before you are able to hand them their items. This is to prevent risks of any scamming.
- Should there be any conflict, question, or concern - refer them to the owner of Soleil Kumo, and it will be handled responsibly.

Do you have any advert examples?

[ADVERT] Soleil Kumo is now OPEN! Date night? Group hangout? We've got dishes that impress and desserts that bless. Come hungry, leave happy!

[ADVERT] Soleil Kumo is now OPEN! Your cravings called. . they said, “Take us to SK.” - See you soon?

[ADVERT] You’ve had lunch. Now have Soleil Kumo's new dishes. Thanks! We’re OPEN and serving top-tier taste without the pretense.
