Conflict Over Maid Duties Leads to Unpaid Wages Dispute

The consultant of “Tsukuyomi Maid Cafe,” identified for its welcoming maids, introduced on the twenty sixth that “our company has been collaborating with an Akihabara curry shop since April, dispatching maids, but the dispatch fees remain unpaid.”

In April 2024, the maid cafe started a collaboration with a close-by curry store, additionally positioned in Akihabara, dispatching a few of its maids to work there.

Footage from that point exhibits maids casting their signature spells over the curry ordered by prospects.

However, a battle arose concerning the duties of the maids, resulting in the termination of the collaboration.

The cafe claims that roughly 250,000 yen in wages for the maids who labored there stays unpaid.

Konomi from Tsukuyomi Maid Cafe mentioned, “We were told to stand outside and solicit customers, which was different from our contract. It is very disappointing. When we received the collaboration offer, we wanted to help enliven Akihabara.”

The maid cafe asserts that duties reminiscent of making ready salads and soliciting prospects differ from the agreed maid duties.

The curry store, only a two-minute stroll away, offered a distinct perspective when interviewed.

A consultant from Revolutione×Evolution said, “As a restaurant, we wanted them to be involved in food-related tasks, but they did not comply.”

The curry store had requested the dispatched maids to assist with cooking and dishwashing. However, they declare that the maids steadily refused these duties, resulting in allegations of contract violations.

The consultant from Revolutione×Evolution added, “We are being asked to pay the full amount despite the contract violations. We are currently seeking legal advice and are willing to pay the dispatch fees, but we are negotiating a reduction with the other party.”

Will the “un-cute rift” between Akihabara’s iconic maids and the curry store be resolved?
