The specialty restaurant almost closed due to the epidemic. After the boss adopted 14 cats, everything changed.
I wonder if you have seen a restaurant in Osaka, Japan and Japan become popular when you were surfing the Internet. The reason is that there are many cats in the store. People can not only strode cats while eating, but also take them home if they like a kitten.
At first glance, it seems that this is an ordinary restaurant that combines the theme of cat coffee. With many cat coffees going bankrupt one after another, how did this restaurant turn over with cats?
Actually, looking at the photos, some friends must have discovered some clues. These cats are sitting or lying down, and there are a bunch of realistic miniature railway models in the background, which is what makes this restaurant so unique.
It turns out that this restaurant originally focused on miniature railway models, and people can explore these interesting miniature landscapes while dining. Later, due to the epidemic, there were fewer customers. The boss originally planned to close the restaurant. Just before he closed the door, a stray cat came to the door of his restaurant. The boss noticed that the cat was sick and couldn't bear to leave it alone, so he adopted the cat into the restaurant.
Once a stray cat finds a home here, the nearby stray cats will come to join you when they hear the news. Soon a stray cat mother brought her three children to the entrance of the restaurant, and the kind boss also accepted it happily.
As more and more cats, the boss thought about it and simply changed the theme from a miniature railway model to a cat. He didn't feel sorry for those small models and let the cats trample on it. On the contrary, the appearance of cats on these models constituted a magical picture of "giant cat invasion", which is one of the reasons for the popularity of the restaurant.
The enthusiastic and kind boss is another reason. In just two years, the restaurant owner has handled more than 100 stray cats, most of whom have found new owners, and a small number of them are raising them in the restaurant to increase the atmosphere. The efficiency of saving cats is not low.
It is said that cats attract wealth. Many stores have improved their business after raising cats. However, Xiaomao believes that raising cats to attract customers is only one aspect, and the boss's own operational ability and luck also play a considerable role. After all, there are many shops under the banner of cute pets.
If you want to run a pet-themed restaurant, you don’t just put a few cats in the hall and it’s done. If you want to succeed, the operator should at least prepare these:
1. Sufficient funds and time
People theme restaurants will take a period of time to accumulate popularity before they will gradually have more customers, because it is different from ordinary restaurants, and the customer groups are different, and there is also the cost of raising cats in daily life.
2. Have some experience in keeping pets
Take cat cafe as an example. How to keep the restaurant clean, tidy, no odor and no cat hair, whether cats can maintain good interactions, whether cats can maintain good health, etc., is very important to cat cafe operators. If you have no experience, you may not have many guests and your pets are raised by the boss...
3. The interior decoration design should take into account the actual needs of pets
and other stores. Pet-themed restaurants must take into account the living habits of pets. Take cat cafe as an example. When decorating interiors, cats should be designed with many places to climb, play and hide, and the fun of customers should be taken into account. For example, some cat cafes have designed many hollow pipes in the air. The cats run and sit and lie down on them, having a lot of fun, and customers can also see them in all directions without touching the cats. The design and choice of indoor lighting is also very important. It cannot be too bright or too dark. It must have an atmosphere and cannot harm the cat's vision. Walls and furniture should be worn-resistant and safe, and the floor should not be too slippery. When decorating the interior, try to use small fine parts or fine fibers that can damage the cat's claws, etc.
