Q: Is there really a maid cafe in Shanghai?

Someone once told me there was a maid cafe in Shanghai. The original concept is Japanese, but I think it wouldn't be completely unsuccessful in a big city here. Actually, I'd love to work in one, or even run one myself, but that isn't possible for me for several reasons. There's a new bakery that opened here, it's called Sweet Castle. The women that work there wear a cute apron. What do you think about maid cafes? Would you go to one? Have you been to the one in Shanghai?

Why isn't this posted under specific cites: Shanghai? Well, I always try out things that are new to me so yes I would be interested. If the food is on point and the service is good I would keep going. Those are the two things I look for in a good quality restaurant food cafe. Good Luck!

What is a maid cafe? Servers dressed up as maids?

Jnusb416:

Exactly. I'm sure you can find some stuff online, it's pretty popular in parts of Tokyo.

Answer of the DayMORE >>
A: No, it's not allowed to work under RP at 2nd job! I'd say, Z visa
A:No, it's not allowed to work under RP at 2nd job! I'd say, Z visa/RP sponsor can have an objections to your part-time job. I did the same at my English teaching in China and elsewhere, butT ... I casually mentioned at my prime job, some kindergarten or another school asked me to work with them part-time. Then, my Q: "Is that permitted?" ...  Answer from RP sponsor was always "Yes, but you can't be late or miss the classes at our school ..." with my reply: "No, our work schedule has a priority, and I'll arrange classes at kindergarten only in my free time." When I cleared that, I was undertaking any extra teaching hours at other schools and private students in my free time.Sometimes, teachers at my prime job asked me if I'm willing to have some extra classes elsewhere.I accepted after the talk with School's principal. I suggest, you test the felling at your Z/RP sponsor and once you see they don't object, you can work at 2nd job. Keeping your 2nd job as a secret from your employer won't work, 'cause you're laowai and Chinese know exactly what you do in your free time. However, despite your employer's agreement for extra work, you are still in violation of Chinese Labour law, and even if your sponsor agrees to your extra work, you can still get in trouble, because it's clearly written (somewhere ... ) that under Z/WP, one can work only at the Z-sponsor and nowhere else. Penalties ... I'd say, there won't be any warnings and you'll be required to exit China in short Exit time.It never happened to me, so I can't really advice how is when manure hits the fan ...  -- icnif77
