Kaikatsu Club

[edit]

All stores operate 24 hours, and most but not all are staffed 24 hours.
Options include "All you can drink bar" (which is just a seat at a table), booth (with flat and reclining chair options), and a completely locked room ^[4].
In addition to all-you-can-drink/eat beverages and ice cream, some locations also offer toast and margarine for breakfast^[5].
Stores vary from several floors in a shared building (usually in the a big city) to standalone buildings (usually in small secondary cities). The former tend to be located near train stations, inside busy shopping arcades, or areas known for night life. They are often located near separate karaoke establishments, thus do not have their own karaoke boxes. The latter tend to be located along major roads and cater more towards motorists, are usually farther away from train stations, and have parking lots and its own karaoke inside.
All stores have the same signature background music playlist, which varies to suit the time of day (whether most people would be awake or asleep).
There is a student discount, which automatically applies to purchases after it is added to an account
