Briefly

Shoji, a new restaurant by Ingi "Shota" Son in San Francisco's Financial District, quickly gained popularity, especially for its signature matcha einspänner. Within six months of opening, it attracts 200 to 300 daily customers. Many patrons travel from notable locations like New York City and Miami to experience the café. Owing to its popularity, seating is limited, encouraging many to take drinks to-go, with options to enjoy in an atrium-style back patio. Staff implements efficient systems to minimize wait times, striving to enhance customer experience consistently.
