"Coffee Shop" Inventory
Most coffee cooking games, such as Armor Game's "Coffee Shop" (hoodamath.com/games/coffeeshopgame.php) start out with the owner of the coffee shop purchasing inventory. These items include coffee beans, water, sugar and milk. The owner is given points at the beginning that can be used to purchase these items. As these points accumulate over time through coffee orders and customer satisfaction, more items can be purchased to make more coffee.
"Coffee Shop" Recipes for Success
"Coffee Shop" also shows players that it is up to the owner of the coffee shop to purchase inventory, as well as decide how much of one ingredient should go into making a good cup of coffee. Sometimes customers will ask for their money back if the coffee recipe is not right or has too much milk, water or coffee. Players learn that creating a recipe takes time and is perfected after surveying customers about previous coffee recipes.
Another Shop Emphasizes Selling
In Dress Up 247's cooking game "Coffee Shop," selling to customers simply means creating a recipe and waiting for them to come to the coffee shop. The player of the game must go out and sell to customers by clicking on passersby. Either way, it is up to the coffee shop owner to sell as much coffee by the end of the day to reach a certain number of points (which is categorized in different ways, depending on the game).
Competing Coffee Cooking Games
A game which competes against a virtual coffee shop, such as "Coffee Tycoons" (coffeetycoons.com/), is a competition coffee shop game. This game allows you to compete against another live player. The owner must make sure that he is creating a good coffee recipe that will satisfy customers and accumulate points.
Coffee shop games may also promote the owner of the coffee shop to a bigger building after a certain number of points have bee accumulated. The game may also allow the owner to open multiple locations of their coffee shops around the country, creating more inventory and customers.
