Plan before you ring the bell
Choose "Open my first café day". In the Café menu, "Café story" follows the adventures; "Relaxed café" lets you practise unlocked recipes. Day one is "The first little rush", with six neighbours and Moonberry Buns.
- Choose a batch quantity, then buy ingredients. Each treat costs four Mooncoins to make: five buns cost 20, leaving four from the initial purse of 24.
- Add Flour and Moonberries to the bowl. Choose "Stir the bowl" three times, then bake the batch.
- Choose a selling price and use "Put the price on your sign". When you are ready, choose "Ring the bell · Open shop".
Finish the order, then count the money
Read the visitor’s order before preparing the serving. Match the requested topping, plate it, and serve it. The change-counting stage follows the prepared order; adding coins cannot repair a topping mistake.
Count the difference between the amount handed over and your price. A seven-coin sale paid with ten needs three coins back. Use "Undo coin" or "Clear tray" to correct the tray, and "A little counting help" for a guide. Take your time: this is not a speed test.
Explain the day’s result
Customers have different budgets. A higher price earns more from each buyer but can put the treat out of someone’s reach. The price stays fixed during that day, so replay with a different price to compare the outcome.
Unsold treats expire at closing, and you already paid for the whole batch. Profit is sales revenue minus that batch cost. Gifts can make a neighbour happy, but bring no sales money; they still used ingredients.
Check "Your three little victories" for that day’s star goals. The first day rewards finishing all six visits, making a profit, and keeping at least four neighbours happy. Later days change the challenge.
Keep these controls nearby.

When the next step is unclear.
- The money stage is not ready.
- Finish the customer’s matching topping, plate and serving first. Preparing the order and counting change are separate stages.
- Revenue looks good but profit is low.
- Subtract the cost of the whole batch, including unsold treats and gifts. Money collected is not the same as money kept.
- A visitor cannot afford the treat.
- Budgets differ. A gift may keep a neighbour happy but brings no revenue. Try another price on a replay and compare the day.
- The café has a new theme but the same challenge.
- Themes change its appearance. They do not raise customer budgets or change star requirements.
ONE THING TO TRY
Replay one decision and compare the ledger.
After finishing a story day, replay it with the same batch quantity and a different price. Before opening, predict which visitors might buy. At closing, compare revenue, batch cost, unsold treats and happy customers. Say which outcome matters for the day’s stated goals.
Did the higher price help the whole day, or only each individual sale?
Keep your café
The Café menu also contains recipes, decoration choices, and settings. Themes change the café’s appearance; they do not change customer budgets or star rules. Progress saves in this browser. Use "Export café save" in settings before clearing storage or moving devices.
