A Japanese restaurant’s owner was thinking about closing the business because there weren’t enough customers.
In one of his final days he made a joke about trying to hire a long-tamed monkey as a server.
The owner was shocked to see that the macaque knew his responsibilities properly. Diners now reserve tables months in advance in order to catch a glimpse of a unique waiter.
Similar to a typical Japanese sake house, the Kayabukiya Tavern is constructed.
Even in small towns, there are a lot of similar businesses, which explains the establishment’s lack of popularity. With the arrival of the macaque Yat-chan, everything was altered.
Yat-chan, who is 16 years old, was given to Kaoru Otsuka, the business’s owner, as a gift by a friend. He usually brings the monkey to work with him. It appears that a clever animal picked up work skills from the servers at the restaurant.
However, Yat-chan now serves drinks and takes orders from customers who fill out customized order forms, according to Kaoru Otsuka, a reporter.
This marketing ploy assisted the restaurant in becoming well-known in addition to helping it “stay afloat.” Visitors come from all over the world to the restaurant to check out the unusual waiters.
