Set Fee
セット料金 · setto-ryoukin
Also known as: setto-ryoukin
The base fee per unit of time that bundles the seat charge, the time and basic drinks; the guide price on a listing is basically this.
The set fee is the foundation of a hostess club's or lounge's pricing. It is set per block of time, the set, and usually covers the seat charge and basic drinks such as the house bottle or soft drinks. When the time runs out you extend, and the next set is charged. The guide price shown on venue pages on this site is basically this set fee.
Not included are nomination fees, drinks you buy for cast members, bottles you choose by brand, and tax and service charge. These are added on, so the set fee alone does not tell you the total. Some venues offer a first-visit price or a discounted early-evening set.
Before you enter, check on the price list how long a set is, what it includes and whether tax and service are separate, and ask the floor staff if it is unclear.
