Chapter 184 Customer

"Yes, I've thought about it a lot."

"Since it's a Maid Cafe, it's naturally not enough for just the staff to wear maid outfits, nor can we simply sell coffee. We need to add some interesting activities."

"For example, playing board games, video games, Werewolf, performing shows with customers, etc. Of course, in that case, the positioning of the customers would be different from that of a traditional coffee shop."

Zhou Mei spoke quickly.

Song Xia listened and nodded secretly. It was clear that Zhou Mei had indeed made a lot of preparations.

"Then how do we solve the staff problem? Many people still can't accept cosplay. It might be difficult to recruit staff willing to wear cos costumes."

"Also, if we do this, most people who come for coffee will be attracted by the maids and those games, but some games can be very time-consuming. What if someone only orders one cup of coffee but plays games for several hours? How do we solve that?"

Song Xia asked her doubts.

"The staff problem is easy to solve. I have several groups, all of whom play cosplay. If I mention it in the groups, plus the benefits our coffee shop offers, I believe many people will come."

"As for the time issue, that can also be solved. We can set an admission fee, for example, buying a ticket could include a free cup of coffee and an hour of play in the coffee shop. After that time, the charges would increase accordingly."

"Also, it's best to have a two-story storefront. The first floor can be decorated as a normal shop to serve customers who simply want to drink coffee."

"Then the second floor can be set up as a Maid Cafe. This way, both types of customers can be accommodated."

Zhou Mei explained seriously, having already planned these things.

Song Xia listened to Zhou Mei's narration and praised her in her heart, thinking that Zhou Mei had considered everything very thoroughly.

She had basically considered all the issues that needed attention in operation, and the two-story setup also did not affect customers who simply wanted to drink coffee.

This Maid Cafe is indeed feasible.

"Okay, I understand this idea. I will discuss it with Teacher Su."

"Okay!"

Zhou Mei nodded and left her seat.

Song Xia also got up and went to Su Dan's side to discuss the Maid Cafe issue.

"If we can't think of a better solution, we can only try the Maid Cafe."

Su Dan considered it and said softly.

Actually, she still preferred traditional coffee shops, because a Maid Cafe doesn't rely on the taste of coffee to attract customers.

However, since the coffee shop was not making a profit, she couldn't consider too much. At least, the coffee shop had to be profitable before considering future matters.

………

The next day,

Song Xia and Su Dan arrived at the coffee shop early and began today's business.

Regarding the storefront,

After a day of searching yesterday, Su Dan still hadn't found a suitable and available storefront for sale.

So she had already decided to contact Wu Yu's customer from yesterday later to discuss the storefront.

Since she chose to rent a storefront, she would naturally save as much as possible.

However, just as she was about to make the call, the coffee shop door suddenly opened.

Pang Tao walked in, holding two cages.

"The cats have been chosen. You two take a look and pick one. I brought a total of four. After you've chosen, I'll take the other two back."

Pang Tao found Song Xia and Lin Zhu and placed the two cat cages in front of them.

These four cats were carefully selected by him. He could have sent them yesterday.

But later, he found there were no suitable cat cages, so he went out to buy one, and also took the four cats to the Pet Hospital for a check-up, which delayed him by a day.

After confirming that the four cats were fine, he sent them over this morning.

"Wow, what cute kittens!"

"This one is so well-behaved!"

"……."

Before Song Xia and Lin Zhu could choose, several staff members were attracted by the cats Pang Tao brought and instantly gathered around.

Song Xia also carefully observed the four cats in the cages. They were not particularly rare breeds: two orange cats and two not-so-pure silver tabbies.

But each cat was very cute.

After a careful look, she finally chose an orange cat.

Lin Zhu also quickly made her choice, picking a silver tabby.

"Okay, then I'll take these two back."

Seeing that they had made their choices, Pang Tao took out the two chosen cats, put them in one cage, and prepared to take the other two away.

However, as soon as he made a move, he was stopped by the other staff members.

One of the staff members spoke up.

"Um, can we adopt these two remaining ones?"

"Yes, which one do you like?"

Pang Tao nodded.

Soon, the other two cats also found owners, and Pang Tao left the coffee shop empty-handed.

"Sister Song Xia, where should these cats be placed?"

Lin Zhu looked at Song Xia and asked.

After all, it was working hours, and they couldn't leave their posts to take the cats back to their residences.

Upon hearing this, Song Xia looked around the coffee shop and finally pointed to a potted plant by the window.

"Put them there for now. We'll take them when we get off work."

Lin Zhu carried the cage and took the cats over.

The coffee shop operated as usual.

Not long after,

A pair of young women walked in.

Song Xia glanced at them and didn't think much of it, assuming that after these two looked at the price list, they would just turn around and leave.

This kind of thing happened repeatedly in the shop every day, and she had already gotten used to it.

However, the coffee shop staff still enthusiastically greeted them, asking what coffee they would like.

But this time, the plot development was somewhat different from previous scripts.

The two customers, upon entering the coffee shop, began to look around. This was very normal, as the coffee shop's decor was very nice, and people generally instinctively looked around upon entering.

But the subsequent development was a bit different: when the two customers saw the four cats by the potted plant, they immediately couldn't take their eyes off them.

After a while,

The two customers averted their gaze and looked at a staff member nearby.

"Can we pet those cats?"

Song Xia stood behind the counter and also heard their question, so she spoke up.

"Yes."

Judging by the appearance of these two girls, they seemed to like cats very much, so letting them pet them wouldn't cause any problems.

Having received permission, the two girls ran together to the potted plant.

After petting the cats for a while, they ordered two coffees, perhaps out of embarrassment or some other reason.

Then they sat next to the cats and drank their coffee, occasionally teasing them.
