High school girl Maika Sakuranomiya has trouble finding a part-time job because of how scary she looks when smiling. However, she is scouted one day by Dino, the manager of the café Stile where its waitresses play unique traits such as tsundere and younger sister. Maika is given a sadist trait because of her looks and has to adopt a dominant and cruel persona when servicing customers, particularly masochist ones.

Forget your typical slice-of-life cafe tropes for a setting where waitresses are cast specifically to embody extreme character archetypes like the tsundere or the little sister. This comedy thrives on the irony of a girl with a naturally terrifying smile being hired to play the resident sadist.
