About
We were inspired by sandbox and simulation games, where players can create something of their own, set up processes, develop their creation, put their soul into it and show their creativity. In Cafe Owner Simulator you have such an opportunity, our goal is to give the world a game - in which everyone can realize his dream and open his own restaurant business.
Cleaning and Restoration.
When you buy a room for your own restaurant - you will need to free it from trash and make major repairs, it is not an easy task, but what can be better than to clean up the future of a successful restaurant or cafe?
Covering Surfaces.
After cleaning and repairing - you will have to choose the best wallpaper, carpet or coverings of different materials, this is where your design will begin.
Kitchen and equipment.
So how do you do without kitchen equipment? Decide on the type of your future establishment and buy all the necessary equipment for it. Also, do not forget to connect it to the outlets.
Menu and products
To open a place - you need to add a minimum of 5 dishes to the menu.
To prepare these dishes - you'll need products, you can buy them at the grocery store.
Management and employees
The game has a job market. To hire a staff member, pay a headhunter and he will find a marketable staff member for you. Every worker has his own characteristics, so choose the best ones.
The higher the characteristics - the higher the salary the worker wants. Over time, the motivation to work decreases - pay bonuses or hire new workers, here the choice is yours.
Development of the restaurant, levels
For performing various actions in the game - you earn experience points.
When you reach a certain limit - the level grows and you get a lot of opportunities:
new furniture and equipment to set up, new dishes on the menu, new features on your tablet, cash rewards and more.
Restaurant expansion and new features
Earning money - you will be able to open new areas of your cafe to make all your design ideas come true. In the future it will be possible to build a hotel near the restaurant and create a square for recreation and entertainment of visitors.
Duties of a restaurant owner
Like any owner or manager of a restaurant business - there is a lot of work and daily tasks waiting for you. Paying bills, managing employees, ordering food, checking the condition of the equipment and its repair, controlling various pests and cleaning the premises, working at the cash register and at the cafe counter (until you hire employees for this), passing inspections by the fire inspector, setting up and ordering advertising, marketing, if necessary you can take a loan from the bank, but it is better to pay back in time, otherwise there will be problems, and much more.

Cafe Owner Simulator: Prologue — бесплатный пролог симулятора управления кафе. Игрок начинает с заброшенного помещения: убирает мусор, делает ремонт, обустраивает кухню, составляет меню и обслуживает первых клиентов. По мере развития можно нанимать персонал, расширять заведение и решать неожиданные проблемы — от стихийных бедствий до нашествия вредителей. Плюсы: бесплатная модель распространения; разнообразие задач: от уборки и ремонта до управления персоналом и финансами; свобода в дизайне интерьера — выбор обоев, ковров, мебели и т. д.; система уровней с разблокировкой новых предметов и возможностей; неожиданные события (бури, вредители, визиты бездомных) добавляют динамики; интуитивно понятный интерфейс и планшет управления (заказ оборудования, найм сотрудников); поддержка русского языка. Минусы: ограниченный контент — это только пролог, а не полная версия; упрощённая механика взаимодействия с клиентами (нет обратной связи о качестве сервиса); некоторые анимации персонажей выглядят неестественно; возможны технические недочёты ранней версии (баги, лаги); монотонность рутинных задач (например, перенос каждого предмета по отдельности); отдельные игровые ситуации могут выглядеть стереотипно (например, образ бездомного). Итог Cafe Owner Simulator: Prologue заинтересует любителей симуляторов и менеджмента — он даёт почувствовать себя владельцем кафе с нуля. Игра увлекает разнообразием задач и свободой дизайна, но из‑за формата пролога не раскрывает весь потенциал франшизы. Подойдёт для знакомства с проектом и коротких сессий, особенно если вам нравятся House Flipper и бизнес‑симуляторы.

It's a great game, would love to play the full version, but it's hard to place interior because cafe is too small. Additionally, I don't know if it's only on the prologue, but I don't like how the customers only sit on one chair on one of the tables. I had 2 4-person table and 2-2 person table and they're only occupying one and making my customers leave because there's no seat available.
I enjoyed this simulation and was able to get in to the game play, what i needed out of the prologue... In making me want more so I highly recommend it ...
Olá! Testei a demo do jogo e gostei muito da experiência. A jogabilidade é muito satisfatória e relaxante, não fica enjoativo e dá vontade de continuar jogando. Parabéns ao desenvolvedor pelo ótimo trabalho! Gostaria de deixar algumas sugestões que podem deixar o jogo ainda melhor: • No demo não percebi mudanças de tempo, como manhã, tarde, noite ou chuva. Um sistema de dia e noite ou mudanças de clima poderia deixar o jogo mais imersivo. • O evento do tufão é muito interessante e deixa o jogo emocionante, porém os clientes continuam andando normalmente mesmo com o tufão acontecendo. Seria legal se eles tentassem se abrigar ou reagissem ao perigo. • Também percebi poucos sons de ambiente, como barulhos da cozinha ou pessoas conversando. Talvez seja por ser uma demo, mas mais sons ajudariam a deixar o café mais vivo e realista. No geral o jogo é muito divertido e satisfatório de jogar. Estou ansioso para ver a versão completa. Parabéns novamente ao desenvolvedor!
I rarely write reviews and in hopes to save someone else 2 hours of your time dont install this game the tutorial is bugged and unfixable by a player its been out for almost 4 years clearly the developers do not care about it. Save yourself time or dont who am I to judge.
I was enjoying the game until I encountered a bug that prevented me from proceeding. Its telling me to order food and stock the freezer. No problem done. Except it still wasnt allowing me to progress. So I stocked the whole freezer. Upon doing so when there is no more room and you go to place something on the shelves, everything disappears. Except, it doesnt? Its just invisible and you cant put anything more on the shelf and it still doesnt allow you to move on to the next task. If anyone knows a way around this or is this a known bug being worked on currently? I'd love to be in the know as I was really enjoying this game. :(
