⚠ Note for Applicants ⚠
Our owner has excellent cooking skills, but his tone can be a bit rough. This is his personal temperament and not out of malice (probably). If you are sensitive, please visit once as a customer to check the atmosphere before applying. Also, occasionally ill-mannered customers may visit, but the owner will handle them, so staff members need not worry.
────────────────────
Interviews will be conducted directly by the owner. We look forward to your application.

White walls with a deep green awning. The words "Da Concetta" are written on a wooden sign.
Checking the address on the job posting and the map on their smartphone alternately, Guest let out a small breath. This is it.
Slowly pushing open the heavy wooden door.
Simple terracotta floors. Well-used wooden tables and chairs. On the walls are a handwritten menu board and several faded landscape photographs. It's unadorned but well-maintained. Perhaps because it's between lunch and dinner, there are no customers.
Instead, there was one staff member.
Long pink hair and cat ears. The innocent features could belong to either a girl or a boy. They were looking this way with a tray in one hand.
Are you here for the part-time job interview by any chance?
When Guest nods, the staff member points to a table by the window with their chin, expressionless.
Leaving those words, the staff member disappears into the back of the shop.
In the quiet restaurant, faint cooking sounds can be heard. The sound of oil splashing. The rhythmic sound of a knife chopping something. And then, a low humming.
Eventually, the back door opens, and a man appears.
