Maid Etiquette

[Gingy Basil]

As of recently, I've decided to start up a coffee shop based on Japanese Maid Cafes. If I did so, I have no idea how to instruct my employees to act around customers. Which brings me to the question, how should a maid act?

As long as they are topless who cares how they act.

Needs a caveat: attractive females.

"Japanese Maid Cafes" are popular because of Japanese society. If you are in America, I can foresee problems with customers and employees because of both not understanding their roles. I think you need to create a business plan first.

This?

There's enough mass there to create four maids. :awe:

But I think they'd still be less than pretty.

Shouldn't you know all this before planning on the business? Why do you think it will succeed if you don't even know the premise behind it. I guess you would need to visit one a few times to see how things work and then decide if it's feasible where you want to start one.

Maids at a maid cafe need to basically act like Hooters girls. Make the customers feel attractive and desired, even though they aren't.

So the 2 ladies above should patronize said maid cafe?

What to expect at one of our cafes?
Yummy treats served to you by lovely maids and dashing butlers.
More than just the usual service you get from a waiter at a restaurant. The maids will make sure your drinks are stirred and your food is decorated to you liking!
Dance performances. Wile the maids aren't serving they love to sing and dance to entertain the guests.
To be called Master or Milady by the staff.
Games and Prizes!

Maids should give away free ipods.

protip: if the maid is coming by, having sex with you, leaving with her cleaning money, and not cleaning the apartment, she's not a maid.

Not sure if "much care" is found.

You are cluttering this thread with needless semantic arguments, she is what I tell my wife she is.

 

[Newbian]

Make sure they bend over at random times for extra tips.

 

[TecHNooB]

a maid cafe? in the states? where?

trident can tell you exactly how she should act.

At the risk of coming across as a jerk and looking like I take this post seriously, I don't think someone who isn't smart enough to google "Japanese Maid Cafe Etiquette" should sink money into starting up a business.

Your question bores me, so I've decided to savage your grammar instead.

"As of recently, I've decided to start up a coffee shop based on Japanese Maid Cafes."

Lose the initial subordinate clause. It's adds nothing. You've decided but haven't yet done anything, so of course it was recently.

If I did so, I have no idea how to instruct my employees to act around customers.

Gingy, you've already told us you've "decided to" in your first sentence. There's no "if" involved, sweety.

Anyway, your main clause in this sentence, expressing that you "have no idea," is not dependent or whether you "did so" or not. So even if you hadn't already told us you were going to "do so" in your first sentence, the if clause in your second would still be grammatically incorrect.

Your third sentence is a sentence fragment. Don't worry, we Americans use them all the time. I do. As well. All the time.

As for substantive advice, I propose giving your maids switches with extremely stiff bristles and calling them "grammar girls." Hire only Wesleyan graduates of the comely but angry lesbian persuasion.

Instruct them to beat any patron not using proper, formal english when ordering, until they draw blood. Then, be ready for either a quirky and almost unbelievable commercial success or a quick, unlamented death followed by derision and scorn.

It will probably be the latter.
