Your dream, your café
You've always dreamed of opening your own café. This little neighborhood shop is finally yours: bring it to life, alone behind the counter, from your very first espresso to the place the whole neighborhood recommends.
Real barista work
Every drink is made by hand: grind the dose, tamp it level, lock in the portafilter, pull the shot.
The machine has its own programs (espresso, lungo, filter coffee) and stops by itself at the right dose. Steam and aerate the milk in the pitcher under the wand, then pour it… all the way to a latte art heart.
Every cup gets a score out of 100, with tips to do better next time.
A menu that grows with you
13 coffees: espresso, lungo, americano, filter coffee, macchiato, cappuccino, latte, vanilla latte, mocha, café chantilly, honey-speculoos latte, iced americano and iced latte
Teas, chocolates and cold drinks: hot and iced teas, hot chocolate, Viennese chocolate, chai latte, lemonade, smoothies, frappés, milkshake, fresh orange juice
Matcha and bubble tea: hot or iced matcha latte, bubble teas
Pastries and meals: croissants, donuts, muffins, cookies, sandwiches, salads, bowls…
The rush
Customers queue up, order at the till and pay by card or in cash: count out the right change. Juggle several drinks at once, serve at the pass, and don't keep the till waiting: customers' patience runs out there.
Some take their drink to go, others sit down… and leave cups and crumbs behind. Clear the tables, do the dishes, rack the cups, wipe the tables and sort the trash.
From morning to night
Get the café ready before opening, run the service, call last orders, then close up. Once the day is done, night falls over the neighborhood and the windows light up.
Run the business
Set your prices, order from suppliers, shelve deliveries, watch your costs and margin. Every evening, a detailed report: sales, waste, satisfaction, cash. No sudden bankruptcy: a bad day can be turned around.
Five tiers unlocked by your skill, all the way to the "Neighborhood Café" goal
Kits: cappuccino, syrups, iced drinks, tea bar and pastries, blender, citrus press
Gear: two-group machine, better grinder and steam wand, pass rail, dishwasher
