送り · okuri
Also known as: okuri
The venue's car service that takes cast members home after closing; it is not a service for guests.
Okuri is the trade word for the venue driving its cast members home after the night ends. Because casts work past the last train, many venues employ an okuri driver, and "okuri available" in a job advert means exactly this. It is not a guest service, and it does not mean a cast member seeing a guest home.
The guest-side counterpart is omiokuri, when a cast member walks a guest who has paid to the door or the lift. Host clubs also have okuri shimei, where you choose which host sees you out.
When you'll encounter this
You hear it in cast conversation and read it in job adverts ("okuri provided"); it does not appear on guest price lists.
