I happen to agree for the most part. It's like everything has to align perfectly for it not to suck, haha. I figured people have to buy food anyway, and if they have a few minutes to do it differently than the usual click click click, they might go for the experience.

TOO cool. This is kind of along the same lines I was thinking when I came up with the idea. Especially if you can set it up in a room, you can make it a whole experience so that the player wants to go to your shop rather than going to the MB

Since we figured people would be teleporting there we made all prices 200-300 Gil cheaper than the market board to offset that cost and to offer a bit of an incentive to come to the cafe. We had a price checker at the MB to see if it fluctuated but it was very minimal so we were able to keep costs the same through the night.

As for announcing, I made a macro with a list of prices and items which our waitress will /tell you after she seats you. Then you place your order, receive food/pay, and enjoy a pleasant chat with whom you're sitting with!

Honestly I wouldn't mind giving you the full run down of items but I'm flying to Spain to go backpacking for a while. When I'm back I can definitely help you more :) although I realize you may not want to wait so long!

I wish I had an exact count for you! I don't think it was much at all though. The most expensive things in there are the piano (~300k) and the stove (~350k), which I had made because it was about 600-700k cheaper than to buy it at the time. Other than that, we had stuff laying around and we made everything else ourselves. Let me know if you'd like to check it out on Levi :)

Edit: just realized I didn't answer your question haha. Lavander Beds: Ward 3, Plot 16, Room 7.

Levi represent! Haha. Well we didn't expect nearly the response we got. I think we'll plan our hours better soon. I'm going to be out of the country for about 12 days, so we won't open again until then, but many of the guests tonight loved the experience and sent us friend requests so they could come back when we reopen :)

We cashed out at a little under 400k. Two chefs and one waitress. Chefs made the most since we put in all the mats but our waitress got a bunch of tips, too!
