On September 30th, the restaurant chain Sweets Paradise issued a stern warning on its official Twitter account regarding the issue of leftover food for Genshin Impact collaboration goods. After pointing out that he is a customer using the collaboration, he commented, “Please refrain from ordering more than you can eat.” “In the unlikely event that there is a lot of leftover food, we may ask you to return the benefits,” it warns.
In “Genshin”, the third collaboration cafe with Sweets Paradise “Genshin x SWEETS PARADISE -Sakuramai Banrai-” is being developed from September 28th. With the theme of the Inazuma region, menus, novelty items, and original goods that reproduce familiar dishes in the work are provided to match the world view and character images of Inazuma. Set meals, oden, udon, etc. have appeared, and the menu is lined up like lightning. In addition, goods and campaigns are also available, and you can experience collaboration cafes at 10 stores. However, there were some concerns about how to use this cafe. This is because it was pointed out that the customers had leftover food.
Twitter user Rogbo reported on September 28 that there are users who leave a large amount of leftovers at Sweets Paradise stores. He pointed this out while posting the photographic evidence. He also said that the table had “orders coming in after they left,” and that the staff on site were also in trouble. In a subsequent report, Rogbo also noted that the photo was not taken by chance when he was out of his seat. This act of leftover food has been attracting attention on SNS as food loss and bad manners.
Regarding this matter, it was said that it was done at Suipara Nagoya Spiral Towers store.The store managerJ-CAST coveragecommented that he was aware that such a thing had happened. Also, although most of the customers have good manners, he said that there are occasionally people who leave a lot of food behind, and he wants them to stop doing that. It was also said that he would strengthen the check system in the future.
Sweets Paradise itself frequently holds collaboration cafes, so there is know-how in developing such collaborations. Therefore, various regulations are set. For example, for this “Genshin Impact” collaboration menu, orders are limited to 8 items for food and desserts and 8 items for drinks. There is also a limit on the purchase of goods, and only one payment per customer per visit. There is also an upper limit for each item.
However, in this collaboration, a mechanism similar to “gacha” has also been introduced. This is because you can get one paper luncheon mat for each collaboration menu order, one life-size character coaster for each collaboration food and dessert menu order, and one collaboration drink menu for each order. The chibi character coasters available will be randomly distributed from among multiple types. There are 2 types of paper luncheon mats, but 16 types of life-size character coasters and 17 types of chibi character coasters.
Although this collaboration cafe will be held for more than a month, the number is said to be limited, and there are many types of coasters. It’s easy to imagine that some people will neglect food/drinks and order in bulk to get the character they want. Such goods tend to be resold. Due to the high difficulty of obtaining goods, it is easy to increase the number of menu orders for goods, and the system is structured so that leftovers are likely to occur.
The mechanism of “randomly available when you order a collaboration menu” is frequently introduced in IP collaborations other than Sweets Paradise.most recentSweets Paradise Collaboration, Almost all of them have similar random distribution goods. You will also see similar campaigns at other chains as well. It’s not just about Genshin Impact collaborations and sweets paradise. This time, it was only the tip of the iceberg that attracted attention as a big problem because the user posted a photo of the scene.
Gacha-like systems can lead to social problems such as food loss, regardless of whether they are in-game items or goods that are self-contained for individuals. Depending on the collaboration cafe, there are also shops that introduce a system to prevent loss by giving food to the clerk (Collaboration cafe summary). In order to prevent recurrence, it is necessary not only to improve individual morals and take measures on the store side, but also to raise issues about the commercial structure that may lead to the disposal of food and drinks by society as a whole.
