* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Dino has a thing for Japanese girls, especially girls with black hair, like Maika. Which implies that the other girls have all dyed their hair blonde, brown, etc., and it's not just artistic license, since he isn't drooling over them.

* LimitedWardrobe: Zig-zagged. Everyone obviously wears the same outfits during work, and Maika and Kaho are almost always wearing their school uniforms outside of work. The others wear a variety of outfits outside of work, though, as they're out of high school and uniforms are no longer required.

* HarmfulToMinors: PlayedForLaughs in Chapter 14/Episode 3. Maika found a forgotten {{doujinshi}} in Cafe Stile, glanced at it cover... and caused her to hide under a table with BlankWhiteEyes for the rest of the scene, trying to (literally) distance herself from that doujinshi during the time it's stored at the break room, and again got ColorFailure when the owner mentioned its title. So what's that doujinshi about? Bondage {{hentai}}.

* ThemeTuneCameo: In Episode 10 of the anime Kaho plays a rhythm game that features a remixed version of the opening theme.

* CosplayCafe: Cafe Stile is one; its waitresses were deliberately set to act like different character archetypes.

* ZettaiRyouiki: {{Invoked}}. The waitresses wear Grade-A versions of it as part of a CosplayCafe uniform. Kaho, especially, would be a Grade S since she plays as the local {{Tsundere}}.

* DoubleStandard: Female characters get away with things male characters don't, or wouldn't. Mafuyu gets away with repeated physical abuse, and along with Miu force others to dress up in various questionable outfits. On the other side, if Dino looks even vaguely suspect, regardless of it he's obviously not guilty, he's either physically punished or someone threatens to call the police. They also immediately call him out for sexual harassment when he's asking about swimsuits in order to help pick one out for Maika.

* GoneHorriblyRight: In episode 4, after noticing some customers still thinks Maika isn't sadistic enough, the cast tries to train her into that direction. The result is a Maika that acts like a dominatrix, which is overly hardcore for a CosplayCafe.

* MundaneMadeAwesome: Mafuyu and Dino face off to see who gets to take home an anime figurine. There's a long, dramatic buildup with the two posing and hamming it up... and they square off in a game of rock, paper, scissors. [[SubvertedTrope Which ends in Mafuyu uppercutting Dino]].

* {{Nosebleed}}: One of the RunningGag of this series involves Dino nosebleeding due to Maika.

** In episode 11, Maika notices Hideri has a loose string on his uniform and tries to grab it. However, she trips, and when Dino comes into the room a moment later, Maika is on top of Hideri. Dino calls him a lucky perv, and slams the door shut out of jealousy. Then says they should be in opposite positions.

** When Maika heard that she'd be playing as the {{sadist}} at [[CosplayCafe Cafe Stile]], she was puzzled as to why would anyone wanted to be treated like garbage by a waitress. Dino explained there're people who like that--and he's right. Moments later when Maika treated her first two customers that way (and completely accidentally!), those two customers are clearly quite happy with the experience.

** Episode 10 has Dino attempts to demonstrate this with Mafuyu, but it fails due to the height difference.
** Episode 11 is outright titled ''Good at {{Tsundere}}, Bad at Kabedon[[note]]Translated by Website/{{Crunchyroll}} as "cornering."[[/note]]''. It has Dino attempt to explain the concept to Maika. He is unable to explain it in a reasonable manner, so Hideri pushes him towards Maika to demonstrate it. The stinger of the episode then has Maika pin Dino to the wall and apologize for her earlier behavior.

** Happens briefly to Maika in the manga when, following a passionate spill about yuri by Akizuki, she say that thinks that love between two women is wonderful. She was actually just making the point that, in her opinion, there's nothing wrong with homosexual romance.

Although [[TheIngenue Maika is baffled]] when she's told that the people she'll serve [[TooKinkyToTorture actually]] ''[[TooKinkyToTorture want]]'' [[TooKinkyToTorture such treatment]], she's pleased to have found a place where her menacing looks will actually be an asset, and so takes the job after a (mostly) successful run with some customers. Now she begins trying to balance her double life as the kind-hearted Maika Sakuranomiya, and the cruel sadistic waitress of Café Stile, while dealing with the hijinks of her co-workers in this comedic Slice Of Life that's full of [[ThemeTune smiles, sweetness, sisters, sadism, surprises, and service]].

Maika Sakuranomiya is your typical, enthusiastic high school girl with a [[CoolBigSis supportive sister]], who comes from a traditional Japanese family and dreams of being able to study abroad. In order to make that dream come true she first needs to earn money, but she has one little problem. She happens to have a naturally sadistic exterior which keeps ruining potential job placements, and it seems as though no place would want to hire her. This is especially vexing to Maika, as in reality she's the exact opposite - she's almost ''too'' kind and gentle.

However Maika's luck changes when she happens upon a blond-haired foreigner at the train station. This man is the Italian manager of [[CosplayCafe Café Stile]], a unique Café where the waitresses are all assigned a specific character archetypes, taken from anime otaku culture. Maika's menacing expression instantly catches his attention, and she is offered a once-in-a-lifetime job opportunity -- as a {{sadist}} waitress whose job is to abuse the customers.

** In-universe, when Maika and Kaho are feeding each other dessert in episode 2. Akizuki, who is obsessed with [[YuriGenre yuri]] and [[GirlOnGirlIsHot likes seeing girls doing intimate things together]], gets excited. Dino on the other hand, who has an incredibly open crush on Maika, [[ObliviousToLove which seems to be obvious to everyone baring Maika herself]], is constantly countering him, by naming himself and Maika as a pairing.

* LimitedWardrobe: Zig-zagged. Everyone obviously wears the same outfits during work, and Maika and Kaho are almost always wearing their school uniforms outside of work. The others wear a variety of outfits outside of work, though, as they're out of grade school.

* TraumaButton: For both Kaho and Akizuki, any reminder that they [[{{otaku}} have a different type of social life compared to the general population]] is enough to make them depressed.

* BreakingTheFourthWall: When Mafuyu gets asked out by Itou in episode 10, Kaho points out that the height difference betweenthe two was so great that Itou's head ended up outside the frame.

* BreakingTheFourthWall: When Mafuyu gets asked out in episode 10, Kaho points out that the height difference between her and her suitor was so great that his head ended up outside the frame.

* AllJustADream: The stinger of Episode 8 sees Café Stile taking up a preschool theme with everyone dressed appropriately. Miu introduces their new friend, Hideri... and then Hideri wakes up in the middle of the night, having rolled off the bed.

* AssShove: In episode 8, Mafuyu does this with a mop towards [[ButtMonkey Dino]] when the latter refers her as a "[[TokenMiniMoe loli]]-[[OlderThanTheyLook granny]]."
** She does this ''again'' in the last act of episode 12 with the same motives, this time her victim being [[WholesomeCrossdresser Hideri]].
