Style edit

Maidreamin's all-female staff wears identical bright white, pink, and blue maid uniforms and the restaurants serve kawaii-themed meals and drinks.[8] The staff members perform a short ceremony at each table when serving their customers, and delivers a musical performance on the restaurant's stage every two hours.[9]

The interior of each restaurant has a different design,[10] and photos of the maids inside the restaurants are prohibited[11] unless purchased as part of a promotional package.[12] Customers are encouraged to wear animal-themed headbands provided by the staff (ex: bunny ears, cat ears) during their meal.[10]
