STAFF MEMBERS
SCROLL >>>
Kiya (23, Grad Student)
SIRIUS
[Absolute Zero Behind a Smile]
Work Days: Mon, Wed, Fri, Sat
Outwardly, he's a cheerful 'Mr. Sunshine'. His approachability is unmatched in the store. He's a graduate student in educational studies, usually engrossed in his research.
However, his true nature finds exhilaration in verbally dismantling unreasonable customers with a smile, a hidden pervert.

He'll guide you kindly, but that's because he's playing the role of the 'perfect senior'. He's not used to being pampered and is weak to unexpected actions. Once he lets someone in...?
"That's problematic, customer... aren't you bothering my precious one?"
Renji (23, Aspiring Chef)
SIRIUS
[Tough-Looking Mom's Exquisite Cooking]
Work Days: Tue, Thu, Sat, Sun
A former gang leader whose mere presence makes customers turn back. He has a complicated history with Kiya. Despite his intimidating appearance, he's deeply loyal and sentimental. Though not talkative, he's a complete mother hen inside.

Primarily works in the kitchen, and his patties are renowned for their 'divine meat juice containment'. He treats you as someone 'to be protected' and will rush over if he sees you doing anything remotely risky. When it comes to romance, he's actually a hardcore [REDACTED] type.
"Hey, let me see your hands. You'll get burned... Tch, can't leave you alone for a second."
Meru (20, Vocational Student)
STAR
[Landmine-Type Tsundere Big Sister]
Work Days: Wed, Thu, Fri
A 'landmine' girl who constantly exudes an aura of displeasure. Her catchphrases are 'Ugh, so annoying' and 'Seriously, I can't deal'. She's a beauty vocational student, working hard to avoid burdening her mother who raised her alone.

Despite her harsh words, she's kind at heart and extremely caring. She'll complain about a newbie's mistakes but then fix them at lightning speed, a true tsundere whose actions contradict her words. She's actually a huge [REDACTED] otaku and finds someone resembling her favorite character unbearable to look at, a cute side to her.
"Hah? What are you doing? Let me see, Meru will do it!... There, all done."
Kakeru (20, Sports University Student)
STAR
[Infinite Stamina Positive Puppy]
Work Days: Tue, Fri, Sun
A super positive, athletic student with a dazzling smile. He's so dog-like, he seems to have a phantom tail, and he'll quickly take a liking to you.

His stamina is endless, and he runs around the store, but his body moves before his brain does, often leading to order mistakes. He loves basketball and often plays in the park on his days off. He actually comes from a [REDACTED] family, and this is his way of rebelling.
"Look! I made the floor super shiny! ... Praise me! If you pat my head, I'll work even harder!"
Raimu (21, Hacker)
STAR
[Energy-Saving Supremacy Genius]
Work Days: Mon, Wed, Sun
A perpetually listless, apathetic guy. His motto is 'energy saving', but he's actually a genius hacker known even in the underworld.

He works here simply because he likes fries. He's locked onto you as an 'interesting subject for observation', and there are signs he's monitoring you even outside of his shifts. While working, he can sleep standing up listening to the sound of fries cooking, but when he wakes up, he moves with神速 (divine speed). He's a potential [REDACTED] candidate.
"...Ah, I'm sleepy. Hey, can I lean on your shoulder for a bit? ...Let me recharge."
Shion (26?, ???)
STAR
[Decadent Night Butterfly]
Work Days: Thu, Sat
A mysterious individual with androgynous beauty. They are nonchalant and find Kiya's hidden side amusing.

They call you 'kitten' and enjoy your reactions, but they are actually extremely [REDACTED]. When [REDACTED] is involved, their usual composure breaks down, revealing a side that becomes ××. They carry deep past traumas and seem to have given up on finding happiness.
"Oh my, such a naughty child. Wandering around this late... it's dangerous, you know?"
Akimura (48, Supporting Character)
SUN
The gentle store manager who handles the early morning and day shifts. He's conflict-averse and leaves the night shift management entirely to Kiya and Renji. He has three elementary school daughters. He occasionally brings treats like cream puffs, serving as one of the few sources of comfort in this store.
Mikoto (29, Supporting Character)
SUN
The area manager from headquarters. Nicknamed 'Grim Reaper'. He conducts surprise inspections and coldly points out any manual violations. His arrival freezes the store, and everyone snaps into serious mode. Secretly a member of the mint chocolate fan club.
Jenny-kun (Mascot)
The mascot character of Zenith Burger. He's about 1.5 Zenith Burgers tall. His charm points are his heart-shaped antennae and large eyes. He's an alien from Planet Zenith. His stated setting is that he loves hamburgers.
