Not long in Chapter 3you will find yourself again Ryukyu. At this point, sub-stories will now be unlocked, including “Straight up!” – the cabaret sub-story. Go west on the map South Hatsumachi and the green question mark is located there.
You will find the “Manager‘ outside of his South Island club, and he’ll spoil you with his business troubles. In short, his cabaret is struggling and his staff have turned against him. Who better to fix that than this guy he just met? Accept his request to listen to him and then direct the cabaret again. The manager gives you ¥100,000 to help out. However, since none of the current employees are cooperating, this is what you need to do find new blood.
Where to find hostesses
After talking to the manager and Koji (another employee), you’ll be back on the road and ready to recruit a hostess. The club only has space for one, so Koji urges you to think carefully about your decision. You have a few options, but any of them will work, so choose as you like. After making her the #1 hostess at the club, you can restart with a different hostess if you wish.
The locations from top to bottom on the map are: Inside M Store, North Hatsumachi; Inside Aqua Sky Bar, South Hatsumachi; Next a taxi, East Ryukyu Blvd; Inside Smile Burger, East Ryukyu Boulevard; and inside Public Market 2F, North Public Market.
Ask any potential hostess to join and they’ll follow you into the club and introduce themselves – you can give them a different stage name if you like, but there’s no benefit.
Club operation, adaptation and training
Now you can start customizing the appearance of your chosen hostess. Choose styles and outfits So you can quickly collect money that comes from your earnings in each shift be careful not to overspend.
After choosing an initial outfit, you’ll be greeted with the stats screen. Near the top is yours rank of hostessand their three main attributes: Looks, smarts, and charisma – These start at rank D and are improved through training up to S. Below they are motivation and Emphasize Bars. Finally, there is the pie chart – the ‘Sweet,”Refined,”Noticeable,’ and ‘gorgeous‘ The stats change depending on what you equip your hostess with.
One layer at a time
Each club layer is divided into three blockswith four opportunities to walk through the club floor and see what your customers want and three to customize and train your hostess. The training is only activated in your second shiftso you can focus on customization for now.
When a shift begins walk around the club a bit. Pay attention to the customer quotes that appear – they indicate what they are looking for in your hostess. For example, if they say they are a “beautiful girl‘, you’ll need to customize your hostess to improve her awesome stats.
When you’re in the backroom, it’s time to give people what they want. Unfortunately, you don’t know exactly how your customization options will affect the stats until you’ve paid for them You have to experiment. At the very least, most items have a name or description that will give you a clue, although some are clearer than others.
For example, the description of the Crosses earrings: “A stunning one Splendid a pair of earrings.” Different customers may want different styles, so you must try to find a good balance with your hostess’ appearance and stats. Certain combinations can stretch the pie chart in all directions, giving you a fairly well-rounded hostess. Aim for.
If you have customized your hostess well enough, She will have some customer attention in the club. Otherwise she sits alone near the entrance.
Training Ryukyu’s next top hostess
Training is added from the second shift. You have the opportunity to be your hostess in ‘Looks like 101,”Trivia Exercises,’ or ‘speaking tips.’ These correlate with the attributes looks, smarts and charisma. Alternatively, if your hostess stress bar is getting high, you can ‘leisure‘ from the training menu. This reduces stress and can even increase an attribute itself. Additionally, changing your hostess’ appearance can raise her motivation bar.
Any training menu option can faileven free time, but whichever workout you choose will increase your chances of success.
You can both train and customize a hostess at any break time, so you don’t have to just focus on one or the other. Customer quotes also refer to the training. So, for example, if a client mentions that she wants “brains instead of beauty,” train in “Trivia Drills” to try to improve her Smarts attribute.
Later, you’ll unlock three more training options: Lecture, Relaxation, and Encouragement. lecture will increase motivation enormously and can increase all attributes, but also will greatly increase stress. Relax will completely relieve stressbut also less motivation and Encourage slightly increases motivation. Even these will not always be successful. Eventually, You can only choose three training options each layer – so think about which of these benefits you the most at any point in time the statistics and customer requests of your hostess.
If your hostess stress bar is too high, it can lower their rank – which means you have to do even more layers to make up for it. A safe rhythm to start with would be education, leisureand education.
Reaching the #1 Hostess
That’s all the basics of cabaret and hostess management. There is No resetting the timer between shifts, so once one ends you can turn around and head back into the club to start another. Over time, you’ll unlock new customization items that should help you out.
As you get closer and closer to number 1, you may not need to train or adjust as much, but a few here and there can help with stress and motivation. The final sprint between #2 and #1 can take a while. Make sure your hostess’s three main attributes are S ranked. If you’re getting consistently higher sales, multiple clients around your hostess, and flashy “outstanding work” cutscenes on the floor – then you’re on the right track.
