Karl watched the cleric run back to her work, and then noticed a small stand at the edge of the financial sector of the job fair, as if it had been forced out by the more powerful conglomerates.
The operator appeared to be a Nature Priestess, or an Acolyte. Karl moved forward so that he could see the sign, while the operator nervously waited for someone to come close enough to call out to.
[Neko’s Cat Cafe. Hiring food service staff and cooks. Willing to work with investors of all sorts.]
{Remi, bring Lotus to us. There is a cat café opening. I think she will love it.} Karl instructed.
{Alright. We are just chatting with the recruits. They’re going to head to the train soon. Everyone is jealous of our group and their head start.}
Karl walked up to the bubbly young Acolyte, as he confirmed after he was close enough. She was Common Rank, and wearing nature Priestess robes, so she had to be an Acolyte, who was working on a project she thought would please her goddess.
"Good morning, Monarch, Princesses, High Priestess. Might you be interested in hearing about Neko’s Cat Cafe?" She asked hopefully.
"Yes. I also have a Nature High Priestess on her way here, and I am certain that she would approve of your initiative."
The Acolyte laughed. "I somehow doubt that. Everyone says that my idea is dumb. Our dorm area is already filled with cats, so why would we go out to see them? But if you look at my business plan, and the carefully collected data, the company of friendly beasts of the furry sort is popular with over thirty percent of the population.
That alone is enough of a market share that I believe there is room for a cat café, and I have found a vacancy at the perfect location on the walking street near the Central Park, pending funding."
Karl waved his hand and created a stone chair with [Earth Barrier] to sit across the table from her, and the young cleric raced around to see what he had done.
"You have a free chair skill? That is wonderful. Does it make other chairs? Can it make more?" She gushed.
"It’s an Earth Barrier defensive spell. It’s not intended for making chairs. But yes, I can make multiple styles of chairs, or whole rows of them." Karl laughed, while Dana turned away to hide her laughter.
The acolyte slowly calmed down, while the nearby bankers shook their heads in dismay. She was making a pitch for funding by a Monarch, but she couldn’t even remain serious for ten seconds.
They saw no chance that she would actually succeed at business. free𝑤ebnovel.com
Once she was back in her seat, Karl started with the important questions.
"Do you anticipate any issues getting permits to serve food and drink around animals? Quality products will be essential to the survival of your business. No customer will suffer bad coffee just to be with cats. After all, the Priestesses and other cat enthusiasts can chase Blink Cats all over the city."
Neko giggled and nodded in agreement. "I have the advanced food creation spell from my Goddess, though it’s still Common Grade. Not really up to the standards of the higher Elites. But it allows me to make a full range of basic products and spices, and I am an excellent baker.
The products that are more difficult, as well as the specific brews of teas, I will have to order in. The predicted costs are in the business plan."
She was well-prepared, Karl noticed.
She had a full menu, with all ingredients and costs listed. Time to make and prep the ones she was creating listed on a weekly basis, staff hours, animal maintenance costs, and all the other line items Karl would expect on an expense sheet at the mines.
