They’re Selling Seats, Not Drinks! Korean Cafe Culture—the Unwritten Rules: Buzzer Ordering, One Drink per Person, and the ₩1,500 vs. ₩5,000 Americano
Sitting for hours is assumed, outlets are free, and time limits barely exist. Here’s the thing: one drink per person is the unwritten rule and you bus your own tray—the line between what’s provided and what’s your job sits in a different place. The ordering flow, seven rules, the two-tier price system, no-kids zones and the 11 a.m. opening problem.
