Aiflowk Inc. will open "BOTTOS Bottou (Immersive) Work Cafe," a self-service unmanned cafe in Ochanomizu, Tokyo, on Thursday, April 9, 2026. Fully equipped with Wi-Fi and power outlets at all seats, free monitor rentals, and phone booths for web conferences, it is a work-specialized cafe that can be used without membership registration.
■ Background of Launch
When the founder was working as a corporate employee and freelancer in Ochanomizu, there were not enough work environments around the station where people could concentrate on work or studying. Seeing many business professionals working in regular cafes using chairs and desks that are not necessarily suitable for long hours of work, we thought that if there was a place that could be visited as casually as a cafe but equipped with a work environment close to that of an office, it could support those who work hard every day, leading to the launch of this store.
Furthermore, amid declining birthrates and rising prices, we believe that efficiently operated systems will be increasingly demanded by society in the future. Therefore, our company has self-developed an unmanned operation system utilizing AI to manage the store. In the future, by having more people utilize this AI-powered unmanned cafe operation mechanism, we hope to expand environments where workers and learners in Japan can concentrate better.
■ Store Features
- Can be used simply by purchasing a drink, with no membership registration required.
- All seats equipped with Wi-Fi and power, free monitor rental, and private WEB booths available.
- Many high-performance office chairs priced at around 100,000 yen.
- The comfort of a cafe combined with a work environment better than an office.
- A 24-hour self-service unmanned cafe. (Initially operating from 8:00 to 22:00, with plans to sequentially transition to 24 hours.)
- Customer management and sales promotion mechanisms incorporating AI.
