Nomination Fee

A nomination fee is an additional charge incurred in the nightlife industry when you request a specific cast member or staff by name. This system is used when you want to ensure time with a particular person.

The presence and amount of nomination fees vary by venue. Typically, the fee is added on top of the table charge and drink costs. Paying the nomination fee guarantees that the cast member will prioritize your table.

As a matter of etiquette, it is advisable to confirm the fee in advance when making a nomination. Note that the nomination fee is usually a system fee collected by the venue, not direct compensation to the cast member.

Price ranges vary widely depending on the venue's grade and location. In upscale establishments, fees can range from several thousand yen, while in more casual venues, they may be a few hundred yen.
