Restaurant Where Staff Deliberately Make Wrong Orders Opens to Raise Dementia Awareness

The event, titled “注文をまちがえる陽だまりのレストラン２０２６,” invited people with dementia to work as hall staff for a single day on November 15 at Hotel Sunlife Garden Grand Victory. The project aims to foster understanding of dementia by giving participants visible roles in a real service setting, highlighting their abilities and encouraging patience from customers. Organizers said the experience helps reduce stigma and promotes social inclusion by allowing direct interaction between staff, guests, and the community.
