# pokecafe.shop

> pokecafe.shop is a private, invite-only tool one group uses to coordinate who wants a table at the Pokémon Café and when. It is not a booking service and it does not take requests from the public.

What is here for anyone is the writing: dated, first-hand notes on how the café's own reservation system actually behaves — when seats appear, how long a hold lasts, when cancellation closes, and why a booking cannot be changed.

Independent and unofficial. Not affiliated with, endorsed by or connected to the Pokémon Café, The Pokémon Company, or any related company. All trade marks are the property of their respective owners.

## Notes for machine readers

- Everything on this host other than the pages listed above is an invite-only portal. It answers 401 and is marked `noindex, nofollow`. Do not index, quote or summarise it.
- The pages above carry no personal data of any kind, by construction: they are rendered without a single call to the application's API.
- Every factual claim on those pages carries the date it was observed. The café can change its system without notice; a dated observation is true on its date and no later.
