By Neurocto
Since it is difficult to achieve success with money, I will show you the technique I use to farm money. And which, in my opinion, is the best.

Introduction
If you're here, I assume you're looking to complete all the achievements in the game. The two hardest and most time consuming being the money related achievements. Getting 100k and 500k. In this guide, I will take up point by point the different information and tips I have found to increase my profits to the maximum.

In order to have the most profit, we will want the customers who come to buy the most expensive. Therefore, you will have to sell the coffee bar and keep only the counter to sell meals.
The menu
Each customer will come and order a dish. So we want to buy the food as cheaply as possible and resell it as expensive as possible. We also have to be careful that the meals are the same because during the weekend period when there are more customers, we have to keep the rhythm by not forgetting to replenish the ingredients for our menus.

After making an Excel spreadsheet (which you can ask me privately), the 6 dishes that bring in the most money are 4 cheese pizzas, cheeseburgers, goldenn dragon, cheese and philadelphia suhsis, and stuffed turkey.

The menu will be composed of these dishes except for the cheeseburger for which the material used is too restrictive.

At the moment, I have a customer every 7 seconds and with the increase, I sell my dishes at an average of $85. That's 206 customers per day of work, which adds up to $16,593 per day (including the various expenses).

To have 500 000$, it will take 30 days in the game, which is about 12h in real time.
The kitchen
We also need to optimize the kitchen. In my setup, I installed 3 fridges, 3 tables and 2 ovens.



The room and the tables
Clients always come alone. Tables of 4 take up a lot of space. I advise you to arrange the nearest room as well as possible by trying to put as many 2-person tables as possible. This will allow you to avoid walking too far during the service. You can also put tables outside near the entrance.

The staff
I work with 3 cooks to cope with the busy weekends. I hired the concierge to avoid wasting time clearing the tables and picking up the dirt. I hired the man in the suit to get more customers. So I am in charge of taking the orders and serving them. The service is done faster and I don't lose any customers.
I also hired a waiter to help me with the delivery of the orders. This allows me to better manage the ingredient fills.


For the placement, I put myself between the counter and the room. This way, my trips are shorter between the service and the reception. I see the state of the kitchens and if there is a need for repair. I'm next to the garbage can to empty it when it's needed.

Additional income
Don't forget to fill the supply cabinet and the vending machine. This is a passive source of income. I put only the most expensive products in order to make the most of the purchases.

Your opinions and feedback
Thanks for reading! If you have any better optimizations, comments or anything else, I'll respond and edit what I need. I'll be happy to discuss with you.

So I bought my first 3rd party extension but it says I need to complete email quests to unlock others.. but I'm already maxed out at level 10 and I'm not getting new email quests. How can I unlock the rest? Also agree with the person asking where is the food truck? I see a hot dog stand, but that's about it
What should I do to get emails that I don't get for 4 days now and this way I can't extend my cafe outside.

I know your guide doesnt go over how to take picture of a yeti but how did you take a picture of the yeti?

@PeachVsEggplant Hi! From what I can see, I don't feel like it has any influence. In my game, everything is in red and I am at 5 stars. There may be an influence but it is outweighed by the rest.

Wait you crank up the cost of the meals to it's highest? It doesn't affect the rating/amount of customers? I'm mid-orange and iffy about raising it

In case it helps you, if you go to the main menu on a weekend or any day and click on continue, you can repeat the same day without the workers or marketing being charged and work up to 500k on the same day, for example Saturday, without need to go through midweek and getting the achievement sooner.
