Well, that idea that luana_neko and I brought up about a year ago, is now being planned to actually be made, and we are looking at downtown portland, or in that area for it's location. I'm trying to get people's opinions on what we should have for menu-type items, I pretty much just have categories and a few item lists. Also, if there is anything esle that you may want to suggest (after reading this) then feel free to put it in and we shall take a look over!
Café Animé is an animé themed restaurant that will serve both American and Japanese food for lunch and dinner. Our categories for food itself are...
(Japanese)
Appatizers - Gyouza, egg rolls, sushi, onigiri, dango
Soup - Ramen (various types), Miso, Shoyu,
Meat dishes - Teriyaki Chicken/Beef, Yakitori
Yakisoba -
Vegitarian dishes -
Desserts - Taiyaki, Pocky Ice Cream (my special creation), Melon Pan, Japanese Parfait, Mochi ice cream
(American)
Appatizers - French fries, chili fries
Burgers - (bacon added upon request) Cheeseburgers, Hamburgers
Steak -
Chicken - Chicken Strips
Fish and chips -

Deserts -
Drinks (Japanese & American)
Various Japanese Tea

Lemonade, Strawberry lemonade
If you want to have a certain menu item on the list, please post what you would like! We are looking for a good variety of each section.
The setting - We will have waitresses and waiters in original costumes to serve the customers, anime music and/or video playing on the TV's (instead of sports or news), and a stage for karaoke, anime/game bands and small skits.
We expect our main group of customers to be from middle school to college, but this is a family restaurant. Cosplay will be encouraged, and we will have little lockers as a "weapons check" for liability issues. They can be in only when pictures are taken, and with supervision by staff, we dont want anyone hurt by accident or scared.
There will be a monthly cosplay contest, winner gets free meals or some sort of prize.
We will be able to host parties and animé clubs, as long as either a fee is paid for the space, or everyone gets at least something.
And for all of you who feel like being picky, we are aware of all the time, planning, licencing, and costs of this, this will just help us get planned a bit easier, also, if any of you perchance ARE a buissiness major, please contact me, we could use your help.
