Reservations must be paid in advance

Submitting a request, receiving a confirmation number, or having a staff member claim the reservation does not mean it has been paid. Payment is complete only when the official terminal and website record a successful transaction.

1 Reservation Requests

  • A new request begins in Pending status.
  • Your confirmation number identifies the reservation and should be saved.
  • The reservation becomes Confirmed after an available staff member accepts it.
  • Table, date, time, and party-size availability are not guaranteed until the request is confirmed.
  • Submitting duplicate requests may delay processing. Contact the café rather than creating another reservation for the same visit.

2 Price & Experience

  • The standard price is L$250 per guest, unless a special event or package states otherwise.
  • The experience generally includes a drink, opening course, entrée, dessert, rainforest atmosphere, and guided table-service roleplay.
  • Most visits last approximately 60 to 90 minutes. Actual timing may vary with the party, staffing, and event conditions.
  • Alcohol-themed menu selections are intended for adult avatars and must be used in accordance with Second Life rules and the guest's roleplay preferences.

3 How to Pay

  1. Submit the reservation and save the confirmation number.
  2. Visit Jungle Rain Café in Second Life before the scheduled reservation.
  3. Touch the official Reservation Payment Terminal.
  4. Enter the confirmation number and review the reservation details and balance.
  5. Select an optional gratuity and approve the exact amount shown.
  6. Wait for the terminal to report that payment completed successfully.

Never pay a staff avatar, personal account, tip jar, or substitute object for a reservation. Staff members do not manually collect or forward reservation payments.

4 Payment Problems

  • If the terminal reports an error, stop and contact café staff before trying again.
  • If Linden Dollars moved but the website did not update, do not pay a second time.
  • Keep the confirmation number, amount, approximate time, payer name, terminal message, and transaction details.
  • Duplicate payments and verified technical errors are reviewed by management using the website and Second Life transaction records.
  • The website reservation record is the café's primary operational record. Discord or chat notices are supplemental.

5 Check-In & Arrival

  • Arrive and check in approximately 5 to 10 minutes early.
  • Use the guest check-in kiosk or speak with the host and have the confirmation number ready.
  • Online or kiosk check-in does not replace advance payment.
  • The full party should be ready before seating unless staff approves another arrangement.
  • Early arrival does not guarantee early seating. Guests may be directed to the waiting area until the table and Jungle Guide are ready.

6 Late Arrival & No-Show

  • A standard 15-minute grace period applies unless event management announces a different rule.
  • After the grace period, the reservation may be marked No Show, released, shortened, or rescheduled based on staffing and table availability.
  • Late arrival may reduce the available dining time so later reservations are not disrupted.
  • Contact the café as soon as possible when delayed. Contact does not guarantee the table can be held indefinitely.
  • A no-show status does not automatically create a refund.

7 Changes to a Reservation

  • Date, time, party size, table, occasion, or accessibility requests are subject to availability and staff approval.
  • Adding guests may require a larger table and additional payment before service.
  • Reducing the party size after payment does not automatically create a refund.
  • Major changes may require cancellation and rebooking when the original table or staffing plan cannot support the request.
  • Only changes recorded on the official reservation ticket are considered approved.

8 Cancellations

  • Contact Jungle Rain Café as soon as possible when you cannot attend.
  • A cancellation request is not complete until café staff updates the official reservation status.
  • Unpaid reservations may be cancelled or released before the scheduled time.
  • Cancelling a paid reservation does not automatically issue a refund.
  • Reservations may also be cancelled by management for safety, conduct, staffing, technical, or operational reasons.

9 Refund Review Standards

All refund requests require management review. Approval is based on the reservation history, payment record, notice provided, reason for cancellation, services already delivered, and any documented technical or operational issue.

Situation Normal Review Important Notes
Verified duplicate payment or terminal error Eligible for correction or refund after transaction verification. Do not attempt another payment until staff reviews the first transaction.
Café cancellation or inability to provide the reserved experience Normally eligible for a refund of the undelivered reservation amount. Management may also offer rescheduling or account credit when accepted by the guest.
Guest cancellation with reasonable advance notice Reviewed for refund, rescheduling, or credit. Approval is not automatic and depends on the circumstances and operational impact.
Late cancellation, no-show, or abandoned service May be denied or reduced. Staffing and table time were reserved for the party.
Party-size reduction or dissatisfaction after service begins Reviewed case by case. Services already provided and documented guest-recovery efforts are considered.

Approved refunds are processed only through the official Jungle Rain Café payment/refund system. Staff cannot promise approval, pay refunds from personal accounts, or bypass the management review.

10 Tips & Gratuity

  • Tips are optional and are recorded separately from the reservation charge.
  • Guest tips support the service team members responsible for the dining experience under the café's current payroll policy.
  • A refund request involving a tip is reviewed with the underlying payment and service history.
  • Do not send a separate tip to a staff member unless management has specifically approved that method.

11 Guest Responsibility

  • Enter the correct confirmation number and verify the displayed guest, date, time, party size, and amount before paying.
  • Provide accurate Second Life username and avatar UUID information when requested.
  • Tell staff about allergies, dietary preferences, accessibility needs, or other important accommodations before service.
  • Maintain respectful conduct toward staff and other guests. Harassment, disruption, or unsafe behavior may end the experience without an automatic refund.

12 Virtual-World Terms & Final Authority

Jungle Rain Café is a virtual venue operating inside Second Life. All prices and transactions are in Linden Dollars (L$). Second Life availability, region access, account status, platform outages, and Linden Lab transaction systems may affect access or payment processing.

Management may make reasonable exceptions when documented circumstances justify them. The official website reservation, payment, refund, and activity records control when they conflict with informal chat, Discord, or verbal statements.

Jungle Rain Café is a Second Life virtual dining and roleplay experience. It is not affiliated with or endorsed by Linden Research, Inc. This policy may be updated when café operations, pricing, technology, or reservation procedures change.
