Players must source beans, milk, and syrups. The quality of your ingredients directly affects the taste of the drink. You can tweak recipes to perfection, adjusting the ratio of coffee to milk or adding syrups to cater to the local demographic. If your customers have a sweet tooth, a sugary seasonal special might boost sales. If you are in a business district, strong, fast Americanos might be the key to success.
You cannot run an empire alone. As your café grows, you will need to hire staff. This is where the human element of the game shines. Each potential employee has stats, skills, and traits. Some are fast learners but get tired easily. Others are slow but charismatic, increasing customer tips. Espresso Tycoon
