Café Sim · Tycoon Edition

One espresso machine.
One dream. Ten cafés.

A deep, real-time café management sim. Start with a single shop and grow it into a coffee empire — hire and train baristas, roast your own beans, outsmart rival chains, and hit 10 cafés and €100,000 cash with all loans repaid.

Free to play for the first 30 in-game days. A one-time €9.99 unlocks the full run — no subscriptions, no ads.

What you'll actually do

This isn't an idle clicker. Every in-game day lasts about 45 seconds, and every decision — pricing, staffing, suppliers — moves real numbers.

Hire & manage people
Interview candidates with real personalities, negotiate salaries, assign 8-hour shifts, pay for training. Unhappy or overworked staff resign.
Roast your own beans
Buy green beans from origins around the world, build roasteries, craft signature blends and sell them wholesale.
Fight rival chains
Three competitor cafés react to you — price wars, staff poaching, district footfall battles. Watch your market share daily.
Survive the seasons
Weather, holidays and 15+ seasonal events shift demand. Iced drinks soar in summer; downturns test your cash buffer.
Expand & franchise
Open branches (€15,000 + a manager), buy real estate, or franchise your brand and collect royalties from applicants.
Run home delivery
Hire drivers, buy vehicles, manage fuel and breakdowns. A whole second revenue stream with its own economics.
Market your brand
Instagram, TikTok, flyers and Google Ads campaigns lift arrivals — if you target the right customer segments.
Real economics
VAT, payroll tax, corporate tax, credit scores and loan interest are all modelled. Read your balance sheet or go bust.
Earn your reputation
Customers leave 1–5 star reviews. Go viral, win awards, unlock the hidden Coffee Legend.

The goal

Reach 10 cafés and €100,000 in cash with every loan repaid. Your finish time goes on the global leaderboard — the fastest empire builders become legends.

Speedrun-style leaderboard ranked by real-world completion time
