Also known as: 本指名 · hon-shimei · Full Nomination · 본지명 · 本指名 · 本指名 · full-nomination
A system where a customer nominates a specific cast member, granting priority reservations over first-time nominations.
Full Nomination (本指名) is a system where a customer nominates a specific cast member. Unlike a first-time nomination (初指名), Full Nomination indicates that the customer is already known to the cast member, and it typically grants priority in reservations and seating.
Full Nomination is a sign of a built trust relationship with the cast member, and it often directly affects the cast member's sales and ranking. As a result, Full Nomination customers may receive special treatment or priority service, though specifics vary by venue and cast member.
Pricing varies by venue, but Full Nomination fees are generally higher than first-time nomination fees. Repeated Full Nominations can deepen the relationship with the cast member, potentially leading to next steps such as dinner dates (同伴) or after-parties (アフター).
As etiquette, it is customary to make a reservation in advance when using Full Nomination. Respecting the cast member's schedule and avoiding unreasonable demands are key to maintaining a good long-term relationship.
