Things that are necessary but not in stock, and things that are unnecessary but in stock

Yesterday, we opened in the afternoon without any notice, so it feels like we have resumed full-scale dining in the restaurant since this weekend. Even though there were empty tables, the crowding rate was 100%, so we were unable to serve customers. However, from my point of view, it was not too crowded and there was a relaxed atmosphere...

Depending on the type of restaurant, it may be better to switch to a different business model rather than takeout.

I'm taking a breather now that the arrangements for purchasing and delivery, which had been thrown off by the overlapping holidays, are over. The state of emergency has been extended for one month, but I've been getting inquiries about whether I'm still operating my cafe, as I'm wondering if many people are ready to return to normal life after the originally scheduled 6th...

[Miscellaneous] Even if the store's business format changes, the values we want to convey as a store will not change.

We have been selling our products in store and offering take-out drinks since the weekend. Even if a state of emergency is declared, I think we can continue to operate in this format, but I think we will have to decide whether to sell drinks or not depending on the actions of other restaurants, such as coffee shops.

[Notice] Movement towards charging for plastic bags: We will stop using plastic carrier bags

We will stop using plastic shopping bags. It seems that plastic bags will start to be charged from April 2020. A coffee shop I know also posted about efforts to reduce the number of bags. As an individual, I don't understand the essence of the problem yet, but I think it's better to act before I understand it.

[Notice] We have made some slight changes to our website. We have made changes to make it mobile-first and inbound-oriented.

The need for a website is reaffirmedWhen I created my shop's website, web services such as blogs were still common, but as more and more people began to post information on SNS, SNS became more mainstream than blogs. As more and more of our information became available...

As a store, we consider people with disabilities because by doing so, they can finally receive the same service as the general public.

As a store, we are considerate to people with disabilities because by being considerate, they can finally receive the same service as the general public. Thanks to a tweet from a store in Ginza, I've been feeling a bit uneasy lately. A long time ago, the owner of the store worked at a welfare facility (a workshop for people with disabilities)...

At Usagi to Boku, we don't just introduce any shop, but we introduce them according to certain standards.

We don't introduce just any shop, but we introduce them based on certain criteria. This week's business will be the last one before the Obon holiday. It's hot, but I hope we can get through it somehow. Now, this is a continuation of the last two articles. Why do Usagi and I introduce other shops?

Think of the area itself as a shopping mall and increase the options for stores you want to visit.

The reason we introduce local events and other stores is because we care about the future of the area.

The reason we introduce local events and other stores is because we care about the future of the area. Yesterday and today, we went to the Abeno Oji Shrine Summer Festival. My habit of slacking off has had an effect, and I had to bake cakes after closing time, so I was busy with work. Since coming to Showa-cho, this is the first time I haven't gone to a festival...

The pride of being a coffee shop owner may be a hindrance to Usagi and me.

The pride of being a coffee shop owner may be a hindrance to Usagi and me, but today is Setsubun. Ehomaki, sardines, and Setsubun soba. This year, I bought Ehomaki at Fudan in Minamitanabe. According to the news online, Ehomaki originated from the entertainment of prostitutes in the entertainment district. At first...
