Shop Information
What shop are you applying for?:
Sayonara Giftshop (Although any of the similar styled shops also works! As long as I can sell the items I want and do the shop idea I have)
Why do you want to become a Shopkeeper?:
I want this character to have a special quality to her. I want her to be my more silly and yet serious when necessary, a character that knows how to handle responsabilities. So being a shop keeper will help give her a reason to have and develop these qualities! Besides also the fact I want to use the money to buy interesting stuff like guitars or plushies or cars. Also as my soon to be part of the Jung family char, I want my character to be able to provide value to the family itself as I develop her further (she is my new character and this application is like the main reason why I have rushed her and finished her today).
Besides all the character things I want to do, it has been a dream of mine to have a character that isn't a highschooler (especially doctor and shopkeeper), so if I get accepted, that would be one of my goals on SRP done!
What do you plan to do with your shop, and what makes it unique?:
My idea is to make it as the name said, gift shop, where you can find almost anything and get almsot anything! I don't plan on selling alchohol on the shop, maybe some very weak and unpopular stuff just to pull the occasional character that wants alchoholic drinks. I plan to decorate it as a decently colorful shop, hopefully bringing a more playful aura to it and more unserious, as the main idea of the shop will be to buy fun stuff. (A thing that also has direct correlation to my character tendency to be unserious and silly.)
Now pulling away from the physical stuff I will do with the shop, I am hoping to probably rename it, keeping the giftshop as part of the name. Current possible name (might change until accepted) is "Tanoshii Giftshop", simple name which just means "Fun giftshop" which defines pretty well what I want to do with the shop (For it to sell fun stuff, like described in the "What will you sell in your shop?" section).
Shop Outfits!:
If accepted, I plan on getting a tailor to make outfits for the mascot, cashiers and advertising team. I will try to make my own suit as the shop owner.
(This way I will also be able to support tailors while still making my own skins.)
I also plan on doing events (I thank my friend for suggesting half of these!). The events will be:
{
Mini-game Friday!:
Mini-game friday will be a fun activity which will involve a puzzle (ARG like probably), signs and a lot of things hidden around the shop! Signs, clues and specific clues will be scattered around the shop, with all of them pointing to a word, code or quote that the curious customers will bring to the cashiers for a prize! The amount of prices will be limited and any cashier that leaks the prices will be fired on the spot.
Holiday/Seasonal sales and decorations!:
Of course as most shops do, Tanoshii will adapt itself depending on what season of the year it is and what holidays are near. Brining sales to items and object accoring to the theme. For example, maybe more scary items might be on sale during october around halloween.
Band day!:
Once a month, people can apply to play with friends at the store! Instruments will be brought by the musicians (Drums is the only instrument that will be provided by the shop) from home unless something happened. In the case that something happened the store will temporarily provide an instrument. Applying for this event will be done using google forms where people will simply be asked some basic information, what song they plan to play and any extra notes. Getting the spot is not hard and just requires to have an instrument or experience with one and to have a good song in mind! (if any tips are recieved during the songs, they will be directly send to the musicians)
} (More events are to come if the shop gets accepted :D)
What will you sell in your shop?:
I plan to hopefully sell the next items!
Instruments - Only stringed guitars like bass, classic, acoustic and electric.
Toys and plushies - Animal related plushies (especially cats) and if possible honk ones. Also toys and games like cards and similar.
Masks - Animal masks, theatrical masks and more.
Alcohol - Only beers and not overly popular beverages (To not steal the focus out of other things)
Head wear - Head bands, head bows, angel halo, devil halo etc.
Fun technology - Game consoles, flip phones and hopefully more (haven't fully thought about this one yet)
That's all (for now) when it comes to what will we sell!
How many employees do you plan to have?:
It mostly depends on the size of the shop, if the shop works well and makes decent money, I will defently hire over 4 employes. if the shop doesn't work out that well, I will hire 2 as seller and do the rest myself. If the shop REALLY work out I will hire (around or maybe more) 1-2 security, 6 cashiers, a mascot, and lastly 2 advertisement employees.
I plan to make them work in a shifts system where an employ works only once every 1-3 openings (depends on how many employess there are and how much the shop is selling). If the shop is working well, and we have over 3 cashiers then each employee will only work once every 2 to 3 openings. But again, this truly depends on how well the shop is working and if we deem it necessary.
The "Roles and hierachy in the shop" is directly correlated to the how many employees part!
Roles and hierachy in the shop
(reffer to "How many employees do you plan to have?" about numbers)
I plan for the roles in the shop to be divided into 4 categories. (Colors also match what will be the discord server colors if the shop gets accepted)(reffer to "How many employees do you plan to have?" about numbers)
{
Owner/Shopkeeper:
Me, of course!
Second in charge/General manager:
Not assigned yet (Will get one if I get accepted. Probably a family member from the Jungs)
Security:
Not assigned yet (Will get some if I get accepted)
Cashiers and general employees:
Not assigned yet (Will get some if I get accepted)
Mascot/Advertising team:
Not assigned yet (Will get some if I get accepted)
}
Owner - I- The shop keeper. Will keep an eye on anything that happens to the shop and around it. I will take the most important desicions about the shop and what happens to it, how it's managed and who helps me manage it.
Second in charge/General manager - Will replace me if i crash and will help me in crucial decisions about the shop. Will also help me hire and fire people and will have a heavy word when it comes things that happens around the shop. (Position that will only be available to people trusted by my character!)
Security - Security role is quite self explanatory. Main purpose will be to keep the store secure, usually staying at the entrance and sometimes going through the shop to see if everything is okay. The hiring process is rather simple, an interview, requirements check and you're in. Experience as a guard is the biggest deciding factor for this one!
Cahsiers and general employees - Will be hired employess hired through a hiring system managed by the Owner (me) and the Second in charge (Not yet decided!), the employee will need to fill an application and go through an interview where what mostly will be checked is if they are fit to work in the shop, willing to work in the shop and if they don't have any important criminal history (Assault as an important crime by the shop criteria and jay walking or loitering as a non important crime). An history check of the employ will be done by to ensure that he didn't lie about the criminal activity, any lies here won't be tolerated.
Mascot/Advertising team - Similar to general employees, Mascot or any member of the advertising team will need to go through a hiring system in where the same exact steps as in general employees added a small quizz or an extra-interview to check if they are fit to the role of advertising or being the mascot. Once accepted they will be trained on how to talk to people and how to bring people to the shop as what they will mostly do is try to bring people to the shop when open. The Mascot once decided and accepted will be taught how to act and move around the shop when open, possibly 2 people will be chosen for this role so that the employees behind the mascot may take a break without the mascot dissapering from the shop.
Shop structure
The shop will consist of 4 main section, and a couple extra around the place.
First section, "Guitar Hero" section:
This part of the shop will contain all the guitars hanged on the wall (As shown on one of the pictures above). Each guitar will have a price lavel and a sticket that says from which company it is and if it's on sale or exclusive (irp via signs). This section will contain all the sub types of guitars mentioned in Instruments.
The wall where the guitars will be hanged will be made with probably be built with a white flat color (white concrete) with details added which we will need to see in game. The edges of the section will be done using probably stairs and andesite walls to add depth. All the building ideas are still in progress
Second section, "Costume Section" section:
This section will contain all the masks and headwear one could wish for. From masks one would use for the theater to masks one would wear to events or just to scare friends! All of this accompanied by headwear that would look nice, good, and even perfect on anyone. All the items in this section are in Head wear and Masks.
This section, unlike guitar hero, won't be done on the direct wall and instead will be done on a hopefully colorful area of the shop, probably the mid part of the shop.
Third section, "Fun Tech Section" section:
This section will contain all the phones and gameboys and anything tech related we might sell. All the items are in Fun technology.
This section will probably be either on the entrance of the shop or in a corner of the shop. Style probably similar to the costume section.
Fourth and final section, "Happy plushies n' toys" section:
This section will have all the plushies and toys we might sell, from borderline instrument toys to small fun things like a soft frog plush. A plushie that might help you sleep better at night or maybe a honk plushie toy that might help you annoy your friends. All the items are in Toys and plushies.
This section will be very similar, if not the exact same as the costume section, main difference will be location, which will be next to the cashiers. A tactical location that might make someone look at the plushies and suddenly want to add one to their cart before they pay. Design as said will probably be similar to the costume section.
Now last couple things for this part of the application. The cashiers will be located on the opposite corner of the shop of where the entrance is located (meaning, to pay you gotta go to the other side of the shop). At the cashiers, one will have signs with the prices of alcohol where they will be able to buy it through there.
Added questions by me
(so you knows more about my char and other things!)
(so you knows more about my char and other things!)
Which character will be in charge of the shop?:
I plan to put my female character Hae-Min Jung, from the Jung family as the shop keeper. Currently a grade 12 highschooler that's usually quite silly and distracted but then locks in when it comes to more important stuff like school, or hopefully, running a shop.
What are the qualities of the character?:
Hae is a very dedicated and even obssesive individual when it comes to things she enjoys, and she really enjoys making money. From fishing to drop shipping, she has tried almost everything she could try at her age to make money and buy things she likes even though sometimes it's obvious she doesn't need them. At the end of the day she end up being the worst enemy of possible competitors, an obssesed workaholic.
What's the background of the character?:
Hae-Min Jung is the biological daughter of Jin-Hyun Jung, mother is unknown. She has around 9 cousins, a deceased uncle, a step uncle and an aunt. She was raised in between deliquent sibilings, fact that actually distrubed her and she didn't quite like as she has a decent sense of morality and does not like the fact that her most of her sibilings might be risking their lives out there, getting arrested (thing that already happened) and potentially even harming her if some rival of her sibilings decided so. Due to this fact, she temporarily isolated herself from 7th grade all the way to 11th grade as she studied, improved her general knowledge and hoped that her sibilings didn't harm themselves. She did speak to them from time to time but only to ask what's up and then "run away" to her room or to a friend's place. Only showing to friends her more playful and childish side while keeping a disconected and even cold side to her sibilings.
It was clear to her that she wanted to either own a fun shop or to become a good lawyer. Those were her dreams... But dreams cannot be achived without family, people you can trust must be present. So from 11th grade and forward she decided to be more open and interact more with her sibilings, thing that hasn't actually harmed her yet.
Do you have any experience in shop keeping or in similar roles?:
I do, but the experience does not come from SRP as I haven't had many roles here. In a different server (life steal like server but with strong roleplay aspects). The server had the option for players to make protected areas which would become shops (anything that wasnt a shop or the spawn was not protected). For a shop you would actually need to open a ticket in the discord server and swiftly explain your idea and what were your plans with the shop. I got easily accepted (As also I was part of the staff team so I really didn't have to do much) and built a good looking shop (would bring screenshots but it happened on my old laptop). The shop gained traction and worked for a while until the season reset happened (whole server resets besides ranks.).
Besides this I have been, seen and even spoken to shop keepers from SRP, hearing and seeing some of the things, struggles and benefits that they mention about shops I think it won't be too different or harder than my previous experiences in other shops. The only new mechanic I would be facing will be the restock via staff and faction leads.
Extra
Additional notes about your application:
I want to add that I mostly do this shop not because of the money (although that a good part of it) but more for the whole idea of the character I made and the family roleplay just roleplay in general it can bring. I really hope to get accepted and bring a lot to the community! Since I am very active, I really hope to put a lot of time into this shop with this character.
Do you have any questions?:
Yes, first how much money is it needed to restock the average shop? I know how it's done, via faction lead and admins, but I would really appreciate to know this! (especially considering that restock probably changes in between kinds of shops)
Another question I have is, can I add to the shop custom items I buy? I plan if accepted to probably buy a couple custom items and well... What I want to do is quite obvious.
That's about it!
That's all! For whoever is reviewing this shop application, or even if you are just reading this, I hope you have a good day.
