In Japan, most specialty coffee shops limit customers to a maximum of one hour to accommodate as many people as possible. This is partly because people can enjoy a cup and a cake very slowly. Some shops even ban laptops. Due to the small size of apartments, finding places to work, study, or read outside the cramped family home is a significant challenge. This is also why love hotels exist. Starbucks, however, has no such policies, making it extremely popular for these activities. I always wonder how they manage with such low spending per occupied seat. Additionally, Starbucks service quality in Japan is exceptional. The staff is friendly, and regular customers receive incredible attention to brighten their day with a smile.
