Previous warns/kicks/bans: I was previously banned for Cosmetic Abuse/ Glitching / Malicious Behavior. I was also warned for using phones OOCly. I regret what I did and have not and will continue not to repeat those actions. I have changed and I am on a new path of improved behaviour.
Shop wanted: I am applying for a custom shop. This shop will be called Owashi Grill & Spa (I do have permission from Dark to call it this)
Why do you want to own a shop?: I have many reasons as to why I would love to own a shop, my first reason why is because of the role-playing aspect of it. I’m sure you’ve heard this time and time again but it’s true, I love the idea of role-playing as a growing shop owner trying to make their name in the world. It seems like an interesting RP that catches my eye and sparks inspiration, it would lead to so many new and different situations that the possibilities are endless! I have worked in many shops some examples are waitress and money manager at Heartbucks, a worker at Sayonara gift shop, a manager at KFC and a waitress at Owashi. Working at stores is great but I know it is my time to step up to the challenge of owning a shop, being active, and managing my own shop which I created. I currently have a lot of time on my hand as I don't have a role where I can keep busy as in college they don't hold classes very much but if I was a shop owner I could do so much more with my time and give back to the community I love. At the moment I don't feel like I am making my mark on school roleplay and I would like to change this. By owning a shop I can make an impact on the server and be a part of this special area of roleplaying which I have longed to be a part of ever since I joined this community. The big reason I want to own a shop is that I created this idea in my head and all because a friend of mine said: "I want to go to a spa" and at that moment I realised there was nothing like that in SRP and I created the picture in my head. I spent hours dedicated to this idea and ultimately making Owashi Grill & Spa. I understand that owning a shop is hard and it takes a lot of effort and dedication and grit but I am willing to put the work in and I think this will show immensely as I start building this idea in my head and make it come alive. I really want to dedicate everything I have to this shop and I am ready to enter this experience with a smile on my face and passion in my heart.
What do you plan to do with the shop?: I plan on making my shop a customer based environment where we offer them a range of options for a relaxing experience. Just imagine you walk into the spa and go downstairs into the spa where a masseuse is waiting and they offer you a range of packages and your experience of tranquillity begins. The spa is a place of calm, happiness and enjoyment and ultimately a fulfilling adventure and that is exactly what we are selling. The spa is going to be an ultimate retreat for a small amount of time. The Owashi Grill & Spa is a roleplay phenomenon as we can do so much with it and constantly offer new things and create new ideas. I am going to create a place full of descriptive and detailed roleplay and offer an extensive range of activities for everyone. The spa element of the shop really is one of the main focuses because of it's variety of possibilities. We can do so much with it and create it a new focal point of roleplay as the jobs we're offering will require a lot of descriptive RPers and that unlocks a door for roleplaying that I know should be open. We are going to pride ourselves on creating the ultimate customer experience and offering efficiency and quality in our work in every aspect of the store. The customer deserves an amazing time so that is what we will give them and we will give them the best every time no questions asked. The spa isn’t the only great part about the shop the grill is a huge aspect of it. The purpose of the grill is to create a transition from relaxation to a jaw-dropping live cooking experience filled with “Ahhhs” and “Oooos” as the chef lights his pan on fire and creates a sizzling experience. It is also there to create another great opportunity for descriptive RPers as the chefs are there to put on a show for the customers. The grill is like a piece of art or theatre it is there to dazzle and amaze the customers and cater for them and because of that, we offer a 3 step service: an articulate performance, a taste bud phenomenon and great friendly service. The grill will offer a range of delicacies ranging from fish to meat to deserts and all sorts with a guarantee that you will enjoy it. The menu will have only the finest foods and deserts in Karakura. Not only that we cook right in front of the customer's eyes so there is no funny business with our food it is all 100% legitimately fresh and cooked with the finest grilling station. The grill will be a great dining experience for all ages. With the grill and spa, we are adding a souvenir shop upstairs with VIP hot springs for people to use. The souvenir shop is important as that is where people will buy their passes to the VIP hot springs but not only that I am hoping to get a few custom items to sell such as a towel that you can hold, and I also want to sell perfume and cologne based on these images below :
Adding these to the shop will make it a place where people buy the item and look at it and remember where they got it from. It builds a healthy customer and shop bond and creates the ‘regular customer’ regime. With our selection of spa options, we also offer to rent out VIP hot springs for a certain amount of time. This allows you and a few friends or maybe a partner to enjoy a relaxing and fun experience together in private. Overall I just want the best experience for the customer and I want them to feel like they have had an experience like no other. For the building, I wanted to create a space where it feels that each room flows onto one another like a stream. The first floor is where the entrance, grill and hot spring is going to be. The second floor is where the souvenir shop is going to be and the VIP hot springs. If it is allowed, the basement is going to be where the spa will be and it will have massage stations etc and will be a relaxation fantasy. Outside is where the hot spring will be.
How will your shop be unique?: Firstly my shop is unique because there has never been a proper spa in SRP nor is there a grill in SRP. Not only that the main thing we are selling isn’t items it is an experience. No other shop in SRP has been this much based on a roleplaying experience and that’s why It is an original idea. I know it is unique because we don’t just offer 1 experience we aren’t restricted in that sense we offer a whole range of experiences and they’re all unique in their own way. I think the shop is ultimately unique because of the sole basis that it has never existed before in SRP.
Packages we offer
- Hot stone massage- During a hot stone massage, smooth, flat, heated stones are placed on specific parts of your body and make you feel relaxed (8000¥ p/h)

We offer a range of things to rent out and they’re all customisable:
- VIP baths are 12k per hour but if you rent one out for 3 hours you get 25% off making it 27k instead of 36k
- You can rent the grill out but the price is decided between us depending on what your needs are.
- You can rent the hot spring out but the price is decided between us depending on how long you are renting is for and what your needs are.
- You can rent the spa as well for a spa party the price is decided between us depending on what packages you want. Since you’d be buying in bulk packages there would be a discount but you would get charged for renting out the entire spa.
If we have permission we would like to add a hot spring outside the shop where people would pay a 2000¥ admission fee to be able to swim in a hot spring that is surrounded by rocks and nature. Hot springs are a great attraction and not only that they have great health benefits like reducing stress and promoting sleep, relieve pain and help with skin problems.
Souvenir store
The souvenir store is going to be a great part of the store as it will sell toys and little things to take home as a memory from the visit. Not only that it will sell the custom items and the passes to the VIP baths. I want to stick true to what I say as a Souvenir store that’s why I will sell toys and hats but not phones or any other crazy things because I want to stay true to what I say.

I personally love the design of the shop. It is a take on Japanese architecture and it was created with the idea that it will be open at all times so even when workers aren’t there people can still sit down and explore. With this comes risk that’s why we will add security cameras all around so we can see every part of the store. Of course, places with stock will be locked and so will the ticket booths etc but the grill seating will be open and so will the corridors
All workers need to be trained so we know that they are the best workers for the job. They will go through many stages of training until they get to the full position. The stages are:
- Accepted Applicant- This will be someone who has just been accepted and are in the first stage of their journey. They will stay this role for max 2 days it really depends on when they can come on for a significant amount of time
- Trainee- This will be where we train them in their specific area. There will be 2 training sessions and they won't be very long but they will be effective. The first training session will be private so we can teach them the basics of how we work. The second training session will be in a period of time the shop is open so that they can get a first-hand experience of a workday. They will stay this role until they complete there training so it depends on them they could complete it in an hour or a week.
- Temp Worker- This will be where they have passed training and are able to work. They will be watched over whilst working so I or other workers can correct any mistakes they make if any. They stay a temp worker until they have attended 2 openings that have exceeded 15 minutes OOCly.
- Worker- This will be the final stage where they are now a full worker and can stay a full worker unless they do something that gets them fired or they leave.
Owner- I will be taking this role and my job is to overlook every part of the shop and control what goes on. I will also be taking care of stock and making sure the employees are doing as they should.
Co-Owner- I will be giving this position to someone I trust and has a good work ethic. This person will need to be experienced and be able to stand in for me when I am not present. They will also be assisting me in everything I do and also be in charge of certain areas.
Spa worker- These workers will work in the Spa. There will be a mix of masseuses and masseurs who will take appointments and do what is in the package that is ordered. Spa workers will have to be very good at descriptive writing as the massage isn’t going to be felt it’s going to be read so they have to make it descriptive. Spa workers will make 50% of every appointment they do.
Souvenir shop workers- This job is for the people who work in the souvenir store. There will be many toys, custom items and some hats to be able to buy to remember your visit. This is also the place where people buy tickets for private baths and the workers give 75% of the money from that to the Owner. These workers will make 50% of what they sell that isn’t a ticket.
Chefs- This job is pretty self-explanatory, these people will be cooking and handing out the food. These workers will also have to be very descriptive as they will be cooking in front of the customers so style and elegance are a big part of this job. Chefs will pay me 50% of what they make
Admission Workers- These people will be asking for the admission price to get into the hot springs. Every admission is 2000¥ so admission workers will pay me 50% of what they make.
Thank you for reading my application
