A Japanese restaurant has changed the face of customer service by employing two monkeys to help with the table service.
The Kayabukiya tavern, a traditional 'sake house' north of Tokyo has employed a pair of uniformed Japanese macaque called Yat-chan and Fuku-chan to serve patrons.
Twelve-year-old Yat-chan is the crowd-pleaser as he moves quickly between tables taking customer drink orders.
Tavern owner Kaoru Otsuka, 63, originally kept the monkeys as household pets - but when the older one started aping him he realised they were capable of working in the restaurant.
Customers first: Fuku-chan enjoys a tip of soya beans, above, and below takes a towel to a diner
'Yat-chan first learned by just watching me working in the restaurant,' he said.
