Our Story

It's scary to open a store right away.
But I want to know real reactions.

Many people probably want to share their handmade creations with more people, want customers to pick up what they've made with their own hands. But they give up, thinking, "Opening a store in Tokyo is impossible with just the rent..."

It's scary to open a store right away. But I want to know the direct reactions of customers that I can't reach online—I think both of these feelings are honest.

That's why WAITER-U has prepared "Your own shop that you can try out on a small scale" within the camping cafe in Shimokitazawa. From ¥3,850 per month. Initial cost ¥0. Why not start with just one BOX?
