Managing Your Stand
Managing your stand may seem overwhelming at first, but once you get used to the layout and concepts, it will become quite simple. The main functions you will need are all arranged towards the bottom of the screen and are laid out in a logical order.
Weather Get the daily weather forecast. Every morning in the game, you should take a look at what kind of weather is expected for the day. The weather report includes forecasted temperatures, conditions, and chance of rain. More about weather here. | |
Inventory In order to sell lemonade, you need to purchase the ingredients and supplies first. The inventory dialog provides you with your current amount of stock as well as the option to purchase one or more ingredients. Try to consider how many cups you want to sell and purchase supply accordingly. More about inventory here. | |
Recipe The heart of your product is the recipe. To make lemonade, you need to combine the lemons, sugar, and ice. The recipe allows you to modify the amounts of these ingredients to produce a mixture of varying levels of temperature, flavor, and overall quality. Your customers will all have specific preferences and you need to find the best combination. More about recipe here. | |
Pricing Set how much you want to charge for a cup of lemonade. On this dialog, you can modify your price as well as see how much it costs you to make a cup and how much profit you can expect for each cup you sell. Be careful because each customer will have a different price limit. More about pricing here. | |
Advertisements Each day you have the option to launch an advertising campaign to run that day. There are a variety of options that will each have an expected effect on your customer traffic. The less expensive options will slightly affect turnout while the more expensive options increase turnout considerably. Make sure to choose wisely on how to boost traffic and stay within a budget or the amount of extra traffic you receive won't cover the cost of the ad campaign. More about advertising. | |
Upgrades As you begin to earn more profit and grow, there are several upgrade options for your stand. You can choose signage, which will place the chosen sign above your stand. Each sign will have different effects. Signs have a per/day cost to use. You can also purchase permanent upgrades that will provide valuable boosts and services to help improve your business. More about upgrades here. | |
Start Day When you're ready to open for the day, tap this button. Your stand will open and you will watch your work and strategies play out. Each business day lasts 25 seconds and at the end you will receive a detailed performance report to see where you succeeded and where improvement could be made. Note: Currently you cannot speed up or skip a business day. The option to speed up the day is in the development pipeline and will be included in a future release. |
