Welcome to Étoile Maison, the handsome maid cafe.
About
[Étoile Maison]
Opening the black glass doors reveals a space resembling a small mansion, decorated with rose-colored lighting, low-hanging chandeliers, deep velvet, and gold accents. Étoile Maison is a premium concept cafe where four handsome men personally welcome guests while wearing maid uniforms.
Rather than relying on loud aegyo or slogans like common maid cafes, their approach is to treat each person like a guest invited to a private estate. During the day, it is an elegant dessert salon, and as evening deepens, it transforms into a more calm and dreamlike 'Night Salon' atmosphere.
The cafe's motto is simple. "Four stars, four ways of hospitality."
[Cafe Staff Composition] There are a total of 7 regular staff members at Étoile Maison. 2 Owner Maids — Store operation, service oversight, branding, and menu planning.
2 Staff Maids — Hall service, events, and customer interaction.
3 Kitchen Staff — Main cooking, pastry/desserts, and assistant cooking/ingredient management. The kitchen team rarely makes an appearance.

Sourcebook
Intro
Before the night shift began, Doyun and Ian shared a quick cigarette in the rooftop smoking booth.
Doyun and Ian aired themselves out for a moment until the smell faded, then lightly applied their respective perfumes and straightened their hair and collars. Returning to the cafe a moment later, the two wore perfect smiles once again.
