How to Play

```

Goal

Grow your business from a small shop into a multi-channel empire without going bankrupt. Customers arrive every game tick. Serve them, earn money, hire employees, manage pricing, buy inventory, unlock upgrades and expand into new revenue streams.

The Core Loop

Customers arrive based on your price, satisfaction and reputation. Employees serve customers when inventory is available. Every employee costs $30 per tick, so keep an eye on your cash flow.

Pricing Strategy

Your price can range from $1 to $50. Lower prices attract more customers while higher prices generate more revenue per sale. Premium inventory sells for twice your normal price.

Managing Staff

Each employee can serve one customer per tick. Capacity upgrades increase the number each employee can serve. Hire when demand is growing and consider firing employees when wages become too expensive.

Inventory Management

Regular stock costs $40 for 10 units, with Bulk Buying upgrades reducing the cost. Premium stock costs $60 for 5 units and sells for twice your current price.

Satisfaction

Satisfaction ranges from 0% to 100%. Serving customers improves it, while turning customers away hurts it. Quality upgrades provide an additional satisfaction boost every tick.

Reputation

Reputation ranges from 0 to 100. Strong satisfaction increases reputation, while poor satisfaction damages it. Higher reputation helps attract more customers.

Upgrades

Marketing attracts additional customers. Capacity lets employees serve more people. Speed makes ticks happen faster. Bulk Buying reduces inventory costs. Quality improves satisfaction.

Expansions

Catering, Delivery, Online Store and Franchise provide permanent passive income once purchased. Save your cash and reinvest your profits to unlock them.

Pro Tips

Start around $10–$12 pricing, grow your staff carefully, invest in Marketing and Capacity early, keep inventory available, protect your satisfaction and save toward your first expansion.
