Especially for first dates, few men offer a large sum of money right away; the prevailing idea is to "see if we're compatible over lunch first."

[Comparison Chart] Quick Reference Guide to Typical Prices for Meetings, Tea, Lunch, and Dinner

For a general idea of ​​how much you can expect to pay for lunch, please refer to the following.

Types of dates	Estimated time	Allowance rate	Characteristics
tea	0.5 to 1 hours	5,000-1 10,000 yen	Suitable for face-to-face meetings; quick assessment.
Lunch	1.5 to 2 hours	1 10,000 to 2 10,000 yen	Balance between safety and efficiency
Lunch + Adults	3 to 4 hours	3 10,000 to 5 10,000 yen	Only with my dad, with whom I have a close relationship
Dinner	2-3 hours or more	2 10,000 to 3 10,000 yen	Easy to create a good atmosphere
Monthly contract (mainly meals)	2-4 times a month	10 10,000 to 20 10,000 yen	Stable income based on trust.

Lunch is generally less expensive than dinner, but it takes up more time than a casual get-together or just having tea, so it occupies a middle ground.

Meal and transportation expenses are generally separate from the allowance (see breakdown table).

To avoid worrying about money on the day itself, let's make a simple breakdown of the expenses involved in the date.

Allowance	Thank you for making time and providing an enjoyable experience.	1 10,000 to 2 10,000 yen
Meal bill	The bill at the restaurant we went to on our date	The man paid the full amount.
Transportation cost	Thoughtfulness for coming all the way to the date location	Several thousand yen to actual costs

Confirming beforehand whether the allowance includes transportation costs and whether the man is responsible for meal expenses can prevent problems later on.

By dividing the roles in this way, you'll reduce situations where you're unsure whether something is included or if you'll receive it separately, allowing you to approach your date with more confidence.

[Hourly Wage Calculation] The hourly wage for one lunch shift is 5,000 to 10,000 yen (assuming a shift of 1.5 to 2 hours).

If you were to calculate the hourly wage for a lunch date, it would be between 5,000 and 10,000 yen.

Specifically, the calculation is 1.5 to 2 hours of work time multiplied by a 1 to 2 yen allowance.

¥10,000	2 hours	5,000 yen/hour
¥15,000	2 hours	7,500 yen/hour
¥20,000	2 hours	10,000 yen/hour
¥20,000	1.5 hours	Approximately 13,300 yen/hour

For reference, let's compare it to typical part-time jobs for women of the same age.

Cafe staff	About 1,200 yen
General Secretary	About 1,400 yen
Tutor (individual instruction)	About 2,000 yen
Sugar daddy lunch	5,000-10,000 yen

Please note that this hourly rate calculation is based on the assumption of "no adult relationship, meals only." The amount will vary if the conditions are different, so please adjust it according to your own style.

Adjustments for extended lunch/dinner shifts (estimated combined rate)

Sometimes, lunch can get so lively that you end up deciding to stay together until the evening.

In this case, how will the allowance change?

In conclusion, if the service is extended from lunch to dinner, the combined allowance is typically between 3 and 4 yen.

It's like adding an extra 1 to 2 yen to the 1 to 2 yen for lunch, for dinner.

There are three key points to keep in mind when extending the game.

• When an extension is offered, check whether there will be any additional allowance.
• If alcohol is involved, the price generally approaches the average cost of a typical dinner (2 to 3 yen).
• If it's physically too difficult, have the option to decline without forcing yourself.

If you want to decline the extension, you can give a natural reason such as "I have plans this evening" or "I have dinner plans with my family," which won't cause any offense.

How to Choose the Perfect Restaurant for a Lunch Date | Examples by Area and Genre [Based on PATOLO Member Data]

Many people probably wonder, "I know the going rate for lunch, but what kind of restaurant should I choose?"

It's no exaggeration to say that 7% of the success of a lunch date depends on the choice of restaurant.

Here, based on usage trend data from PATOLO's female members, we will explain popular genres, selection criteria, specific examples by area, and characteristics of establishments to avoid.

Top 3 most popular shop genres among PATOLO members and their trends

Based on usage reports from PATOLO's female members, here are the top 3 restaurant types most frequently used for lunch dates.

1 bit	Hotel lounge lunch	Many of the customers are financially well-off fathers; the atmosphere is calm and easy to talk in.
2 bit	Bistro Italian	Perfect for first meetings - budget range of 3,000 to 5,000 yen
3 bit	Teppanyaki and sushi counter	This is more common with dads after the second time, once the relationship has become stable.

Men who choose hotel lounge lunches tend to be from a more financially comfortable background.

The reason is clear: hotel lounges tend to have a higher lunch budget of 5,000 yen or more per person, making them a favorite choice for financially well-off men. They are frequently chosen by business owners, executives, and doctors.

A bistro-Italian restaurant is perfect for a first meeting over lunch. The food is friendly, not too casual, and the atmosphere is conducive to enjoyable conversation.

Three criteria for choosing a restaurant (private room, easy access, and budget of 3,000-8,000 yen)

Here are three criteria to keep in mind when choosing a restaurant:

• Availability of private rooms
• Easy access from the station
• Lunch budget: 3,000-8,000 yen range

Availability of private roomsThis is important in reducing the risk of being seen by acquaintances. A completely private room is not necessary; semi-private rooms or restaurants with ample space between tables are often sufficient.

Access from the stationThis is an essential condition for a smooth parting after a date. A location within a 5-minute walk from the station, preferably inside a commercial facility directly connected to the station, is ideal.

Budget range: 3,000 to 8,000 yenThis is within a reasonable range for a man to pay for lunch. Avoid course lunches costing over 1 yen on the first date, as men may find them "too expensive."

Recommended genres in the Tokyo area (Ginza, Shinjuku, Ebisu)

Here are some popular lunch spots in the Tokyo area and the types of cuisine that are chosen.

Ginza	Hotel Lounge & Sushi Counter	5,000-10,000 yen
Shinjuku	Italian and Teppanyaki	3,000-8,000 yen
Ebisu	Bistro Modern French	4,000-8,000 yen

Ginza is Tokyo's most elegant lunch area. With its concentration of prestigious hotels like the Imperial Hotel and other Ginza luxury brands, it's the perfect place to meet a wealthy father.

Shinjuku boasts a wide selection of high-quality restaurants within commercial facilities such as Isetan and Odakyu. Its convenient access makes it suitable for a variety of occasions, from initial meetings to regular dates.

Ebisu is popular with women in their 20s and 30s, and its calm, mature atmosphere is its main appeal. For detailed market prices and strategies in the Tokyo area,The Complete Guide to Sugar Dating in Tokyois explained.

Recommended genres in the Osaka/Nagoya area (Kitashinchi, Shinsaibashi, Nagoya Station)

Let's also look at other major areas outside of Tokyo.

Osaka (Kitashinchi)	Sushi counter / Hotel lounge	5,000-10,000 yen
Osaka (Shinsaibashi)	Italian Modern French	3,000-7,000 yen
Nagoya (Meieki Station)	Hotel Lounge & Teppanyaki	4,000-8,000 yen

Kitashinchi in Osaka is one of the most upscale dining districts in western Japan. It's an area where many business executives gather, and business meetings over hotel lunches are a common occurrence.

Nagoya is an area with a large number of executives in manufacturing, particularly the automotive industry. Hotel lounges around Nagoya Station have become a popular spot for business meetings.

Characteristics of restaurants to avoid and guidelines for lunch time allocation

Conversely, let's also look at the characteristics of restaurants you should avoid for a lunch date.

Here are some characteristics of shops you should avoid:

• Lunch service at chain izakayas (where you're likely to be encouraged to drink alcohol from midday)
• Karaoke lunch (low safety due to enclosed space)
• Shops near my home (risk of privacy leakage)
• Hotel upper-floor restaurants (not recommended for first-time visits as they can easily lead to being directed to a room)

Lunch date time allocationThe basic schedule is to meet at 12:00 and disperse at 14:00.

具体的には、12:00〜12:30で前菜・乾杯、12:30〜13:30でメインと会話、13:30〜14:00でデザートとお会計、というイメージで進めると自然です。

Unless an extension is suggested, let's schedule our time assuming we'll leave the store by 14 PM.

Choosing the right venue can significantly increase the overall success rate of your sugar daddy dates.

If you prioritize safe encounters, using a fully vetted service like PATOLO makes it easier to match with trustworthy daddies in your area.

Raising the average price of lunch from 10,000 to 20,000 yen: Three key points - attire, rarity, and relaxation.

Many people are probably wondering, "What's the difference between paying 1 yen and 2 yen for the same lunch date?"

In fact, there are three ways to naturally raise the price of your lunch without resorting to unreasonable negotiations or bargaining.

We will explain practical examples that you can immediately put into practice, in the order of clothing, rarity, and healing.

Point 2: Specific examples of appropriate attire for different occasions (hotel/bistro/cafe)

The key to choosing an outfit for a lunch date is to select one that suits the type of restaurant you're going to.

Hotel lounge	A refined, slightly formal style.	Dress + jacket, pumps, elegant bag
Bistro Italian	Clean and feminine	Blouse + flared skirt, low heels
Casual Cafe	Smart casual	A smart knit top + tapered pants, loafers

When in a hotel lounge, aim for an elegant and formal look. Simply putting on a jacket can instantly give you a more sophisticated look.

Bistros and Italian restaurants offer a clean and feminine style.This combination makes a good impression. The blouse and flared skirt is a classic choice and is sure to be a hit with men.

Avoid overly flashy colors or clothing that accentuates your body shape on your first lunch date. Making yourself appear as a woman who makes others feel comfortable is the quickest way to increase your earnings.

Point 2: How to appeal to the rarity of "only being able to meet during lunchtime"

For a sugar daddy, a woman who is only available during the daytime on weekdays is seen as more valuable than a woman who is available to meet freely at night.

Because the time you can spend together is limited, showing that you cherish that time will make them feel that "the time I spend with this child is precious."

Here are some examples of how to communicate the rarity of a product:

• "Weekday afternoons are the best time for a relaxed conversation."
• "I have lessons in the evenings, so I can only relax during the day."
• "I live with my parents and have a curfew, so lunch is the safest option."

Point 3: Providing healing value through 'good listening' and 'a smile'

What men are willing to pay for is comfort rather than excitement.

Especially for lunch dates, many dads are there during their work breaks, so there's no need for heavy topics or forced attempts to impress them.

There are three key points to providing healing value.

• Nodding with a smile
• Listen to the other person until they finish speaking.
• Change "That's amazing" into more specific words.

Simply saying "That's amazing" sounds superficial, so respond with more specific words, such as, "I really admire you for starting your own business on your own and growing it this much."

If you focus on three things—clothing, uniqueness, and creating a relaxing atmosphere—it's entirely realistic to increase the allowance for a lunch date from 10,000 yen to 20,000 yen.

[Personal Experiences] Three Real-Life Lunch Dates: Successes and Failures

While "sugar daddy" lunches are easy to start, it's important to be careful, as not knowing the going rates and proper etiquette can lead to unexpected problems.

[Failure Story - Aya, 24 years old, office worker] I didn't know the market rate and agreed to 5,000 yen, and now I regret it.

From Aya's experience, we can learn that it's important to confirm any financial details before meeting someone.

[Success Story - Yuki, 23 years old, University Student] Prior research increased her allowance to 2 yen.

From Yuki's experience, we can learn that the amount of money you earn isn't determined solely by your appearance or age, but also by how you use and approach your time.

Benefits of a "sugar daddy" lunch

While "sugar daddy lunches" are often viewed with apprehension due to concerns about low compensation or being seen as easy, they actually offer many advantages as a form of dating.

For those who prioritize safety and efficiency, or those who want to start cautiously as a beginner, the option of having lunch can be a great advantage.

Here, we'll explain in detail the unique advantages of having lunch with a sugar daddy.

High safety during daylight hours

The advantage of a "sugar daddy" lunch is its high level of safety.

Since it takes place in a restaurant during the daytime when there are other people around, there is virtually no risk of being pressured to drink alcohol or being coerced into going to a hotel.

Especially when meeting someone for the first time, the following points contribute to a sense of mental reassurance.

• There are people around
• Easy to disperse in a short time
• The atmosphere is healthy

For those new to sugar dating or those who prioritize safety above all else, lunch dates are a safe and reliable way to meet.

Short working hours and efficient

Lunch dates usually last about 1.5 to 2 hours.

Therefore, it has the advantage of being easy to use during spare time, such as before or after school or work.

And yet, the going rate for compensation is around 1 yen.

In many cases, the hourly wage can easily exceed 5,000 yen, making it suitable for people who want to earn money efficiently in a short amount of time.

It's easier to see a father's true nature.

On a lunch date, we'll have a conversation without relying on alcohol.

Therefore, inner qualities such as consideration for others and sincerity become more clearly visible.

While it's easy to get carried away by the atmosphere on a night date, lunch allows for more rational decision-making.

If you feel that "this person is a gentleman who can have a good time even without alcohol," you can confidently move on to the next step.

Three disadvantages of having lunch with a sugar daddy

While "sugar daddy" lunch dates are a safe and efficient way to meet people, they're not without their drawbacks.

If you start by only looking at the benefits, you might find yourself thinking, "I'm not making as much money as I thought," or "The relationship isn't progressing."

Here, we'll summarize the downsides of "sugar daddy" lunches that you should be aware of beforehand.

The pay per session is less than the cost of dinner.

Since lunch dates involve less time commitment, the amount of compensation per date is generally lower than for dinner dates.

While dinner prices can easily exceed 2 yen, lunch prices are generally around 1 yen.

While it's efficient in terms of hourly wage, it might not be satisfying for those who aim to earn a lot of money from a single date.

It's important to be mindful of using different restaurants depending on your purpose: prioritize efficiency for lunch and cost-effectiveness for dinner.

There's a possibility that the relationship will end up being nothing more than a "meal-only" one.

While lunch dates are convenient, the dad may be satisfied with just "someone to occasionally enjoy a nice lunch with," making it difficult for the relationship to develop further.

If you want to secure a regular contract or a high-priced dinner date, you need to make sure you leave a positive impression of comfort and enjoyment even in a short amount of time.

The time available to make an appeal that could lead to the next step is too short.

Lunch dates usually last about 1.5 to 2 hours.

Therefore, it's not uncommon for groups to disband before they can fully convey their appeal.

If a conversation ends just as it's warming up, it might leave the other person thinking, "I wish we could have talked more," but it might also fail to lead to a future meeting.

Because it's a short time, first impressions and the quality of the conversation become crucial, and the fact that insufficient preparation can easily lead to a difference in results is a disadvantage.

[Most Important] Negotiation techniques to secure the market price and the flow of the lunch day

Many failures in lunch-time sugar dating, such as "it was cheaper than I expected" or "it was too awkward to say anything," stem from a lack of knowledge about negotiation and the flow of events on the day.

To prevent failures, you need to understand how to communicate, when to receive information, and how to respond in case of problems.

This guide explains the specific steps to ensure you receive the agreed-upon compensation, from before you meet until the day of the meeting.

[Before Meeting] How to Communicate Your Desired Price Based on Market Rates [Examples Included]

First and foremost, it's essential to discuss payment arrangements before meeting in person.

Checking the conditions in advance can prevent awkwardness and problems on the day.

When communicating, keep the following points in mind:

• Polite
• Forward looking
• This naturally indicates that it is based on market prices.

Please refer to the following lines.

By expressing your gratitude first and then using the excuse of "wanting to avoid any awkwardness on the day," you can smoothly bring up the topic of finances.

By providing a specific amount, it becomes easier for the other party to decide whether to accept or reject the offer.

The key is to avoid phrases like "that's the going rate" or "that's only natural," and instead frame it as a "consultation."

[During a date] The best time to receive payment in a smart way

The fundamental principle of "sugar dating" is that the payment is received in advance before the date.

"I'll give it to you later" is a common phrase used when someone hasn't paid, so try to receive it in person as soon as possible.

Before entering the store	★ベスト	"May I receive my allowance and travel expenses in advance?"	Safe and less likely to cause problems	You need the courage to bring it up.
After being seated / after ordering	Better	"May I receive payment before we begin our discussion?"	Low risk of last-minute cancellations	I'm worried about what the store clerks will think.
Before paying	last resort	"May I receive payment before paying the bill?"	Easy to bring up in the flow of conversation	High risk of non-payment or reduction
After dissolution	NG			There is a very high probability that the payment will not be made.

If you're unsure, try using "before entering the store" as your guideline; this will help you avoid making a mistake.

Providing an enjoyable experience is a given, but securing payment in advance is also a basic business courtesy that protects yourself.

[In case of emergency] How to respond if the amount is different from what was agreed upon

Even if you receive less than the amount agreed upon beforehand, there's no need to get upset.

It's important to maintain a calm and objective stance, focusing solely on fact-finding.

Here is an example of a confirmation message:

The trick is to add a softening phrase like, "Maybe I'm mistaken," rather than immediately saying, "You're wrong!" A gentlemanly man will correct you with, "Sorry, I was careless."

If they try to evade the question, it's safer to skip the next date.

Who makes the reservation? Etiquette for cancellations and lateness.

Knowing the proper etiquette for making, canceling, and being late for a lunch date will definitely raise your profile.

If you master negotiation and proper etiquette on the day, your chances of receiving the going rate will increase significantly.

[Personal Experience] Monthly Income Simulation and the Secret to Making People Want to See You Again

Many people are probably wondering, "How much can you actually earn from 'lunchtime sugar dating'?" and "What do successful people do?"

[Simulation] Earn 8-16 yen per month working 2 lunches a week (with hourly wage calculation)

If you continue having lunch dates twice a week, a monthly income of 80,000 to 160,000 yen becomes a realistic goal.

Lunch twice a week	¥10,000	¥40,000	5,000 yen/hour
Lunch twice a week	¥20,000	¥80,000	10,000 yen/hour
Lunch twice a week	¥10,000	¥80,000	5,000 yen/hour
Lunch twice a week	¥20,000	¥160,000	10,000 yen/hour

Earning 80,000 to 160,000 yen a month by doing lunch twice a week almost perfectly matches the monthly income range I, Airi, have actually experienced (100,000 to 150,000 yen per month).

This simulation is based on the assumption of "no adult relationship, meals only, twice a week, 2 hours each time." Even at a pace of once a week, it is calculated that you can consistently earn 40,000 to 80,000 yen per month.

The biggest appeal of "lunchtime sugar dating" is that it's "sufficient as a side job" and "easy to balance with studies or a main job."

[Failure Story] Aya (24 years old) didn't know the going rate and accepted a job for 5,000 yen.

Beginners tend to be afraid of being rejected, but if you proceed without knowing the market value, you'll later feel a sense of emptiness because you underestimated your own worth.

From Aya's experience, we can learn that "it's important to confirm any financial details before meeting someone."

[Success Story] Yuki (23 years old) increased her income from 1 to 2 yen through improved conversation skills.

By showing interest in the other party and providing "added value" through research, I was recognized as a special individual, which naturally led to improved terms and conditions.

From Yuki's experience, we can learn that the amount of money you earn isn't determined solely by your appearance or age, but also by how you use and approach your time.

Spot it on the first try! 3 signs common to a "good dad"

To turn a lunch date into a meaningful connection rather than just a one-off encounter, the ability to discern the other person's true character is essential.

Handling money	Hand it over discreetly in an envelope / Add transportation expenses	Handing it over naked / haggling over the price / not mentioning transportation costs
Conversation and attitude	I read their profile before asking questions / I was polite to the staff.	Constantly boasting and lecturing / Arrogant attitude towards store staff
Future	Suggesting the next date comes naturally / Considering the time when you part ways.	They immediately hint at a physical relationship / Ignore my feelings

If even one of the following applies to a potential partner, such as "He seems like a nice guy, but he's irresponsible with money" or "He pays for things, but has a bad attitude," you should be cautious. Choose someone who will respect you as "a woman."

Conversation techniques during lunch that will make them want to meet you again.

Because lunch is such a short time, the quality of the conversation greatly influences the impression you make.

Simply offering superficial responses like "That's amazing!" or "That's impressive!" won't leave a lasting impression. Try to explain in your own words exactly what you found so impressive about what the other person was saying.

Examples of what not to do	OK example
"Wow, that's amazing!"	"I truly admire how you started your own business and grew it to this extent."
"That's right"	"It's because of your experiences in [specific area] that you've become the person you are today, [specific person]."
"You have great taste!"	"This restaurant is wonderful not only for its food but also for its atmosphere. It really reflects [Name]'s aesthetic sense."

Simply repeating what you say, or adding the reason "why you think that way," will significantly increase your trustworthiness with your clients. Carefully observing your clients is the shortest path to higher pay rates.

The magic phrase to avoid ending up as just "lunchtime escort" after a date.

It's no exaggeration to say that the success or failure of a lunch date is determined by the LINE messages exchanged afterward.

The moment immediately after a date ends is the best opportunity to set up a second date. Here are two example messages you can use right away.

By sharing specific feedback and expressing your expectations for the future, you can naturally make the other person feel that you're interested.

Sending them a message immediately after the date ends (within 30 minutes of parting ways) is most effective.

Including evidence that you were listening to him in your messages is the perfect way to boost your dad's self-esteem.

By showing empathy for the other person's interests, you leave the impression that you're "not just after money," making it easier to deepen the relationship.

The pros and cons of "sugar daddy" lunches [judged by comparing them to dinners]

Benefit 1 | High safety due to daytime, visible presence, and short duration.

The biggest advantage of "sugar daddy" lunches is their high level of safety.

Since it takes place in a restaurant during the daytime when there are other people around, there is virtually no risk of being pressured to drink alcohol or being coerced into going to a hotel.

Especially when meeting someone for the first time, factors such as the presence of other people, the ease of ending the meeting quickly, and the generally positive atmosphere contribute to a sense of mental reassurance.

For those new to sugar dating or those who prioritize safety above all else, lunch dates are a safe and reliable way to meet.

Benefit 2 | Good hourly wage for a 1.5-2 hour commitment.

Lunch dates usually last about 1.5 to 2 hours.

Therefore, it has the advantage of being easy to use during spare time, such as before or after school or work.

And yet, the going rate for this kind of work is around 1 yen. If you simply calculate it as an hourly wage, it often comes out to more than 5,000 yen, making it suitable for people who want to "earn money efficiently in a short amount of time."

The fact that you're less likely to be tied down for long periods is a big advantage in terms of reducing physical and mental strain.

Benefit 3 | It's easier to discern a dad's true nature without alcohol.

On a lunch date, we'll have a conversation without relying on alcohol.

Therefore, inner qualities such as consideration for others and sincerity become more clearly visible.

While it's easy to get carried away by the atmosphere on a night date, lunch allows for more rational judgment. If you feel that "this person is a gentleman who can have a good time even without alcohol," you can confidently move on to the next step.

Disadvantage 1: The pay per session is lower than for dinner.

If you want to secure a regular contract or a high-priced dinner date, you need to make sure you leave a positive impression of comfort and enjoyment even in a short amount of time.

Disadvantage 3: Short time to make a positive impression for future opportunities

Lunch dates usually last about 1.5 to 2 hours.

Frequently Asked Questions about "Sugar Daddy Lunches"

When researching "sugar daddy" lunches, a series of detailed questions arise, such as, "Can a relationship continue with just lunch?" and "What if they offer less than the going rate?"

Here, we've picked out some frequently asked questions and will provide concise and easy-to-understand answers.

Q1. Is it possible to enter into a regular (monthly) contract just for lunch?

Even just having lunch can sometimes lead to a regular contract.

If you can build trust through repeated interactions, it's possible for a lunch-focused arrangement to develop into a regular contract.

However, the probability is not high, so don't get your hopes up too much and make your decision based on compatibility.

Q2. What's the best way to decline an offer that's below market value?

It's best to politely state your desired price, and if it's still not a good fit, decline the offer.

If you convey your apologies without letting your emotions get in the way, such as saying, "Unfortunately, the conditions didn't work out this time," it's less likely to lead to trouble.

Q3. What's the smartest way to pay at a store?

Basically, you can leave it to the men without any problems.

Instead of insisting on paying, simply saying "Thank you" will create a more polite impression.

Q4. If I'm invited to a hotel or a date after lunch, how should I decline?

If you haven't made an appointment beforehand, it's perfectly fine to politely decline.

Saying with a smile, "We had a lunch appointment today, so I'd be happy to chat with you at length another time," will avoid any awkwardness.
