Spices and how to get them in the game My Coffee Shop

Why a coffee shop?

When I came up with the idea of ​​starting a business, I was going through a lot of ideas in my head and didn’t even consider the option of opening a coffee shop. Somewhere on a subconscious level, I convinced myself that there were too many establishments of this kind and that opening a coffee shop meant dooming yourself to a constant struggle with competition and possibly incurring losses.

At that time, I paid attention to vending and was already ready to buy two coffee machines and one snack machine, but then I learned that in this business it is best to first select a location for the machines, and only then start purchasing.

I couldn't find a place, so I switched to a coffee shop. Moreover, the income from a coffee shop, according to my calculations, should have been much greater than the income from several coffee machines.

I didn’t have any friends who could give advice in this regard, so I had to rely only on myself. Looking ahead, I can say that there is a lot of false information on the Internet.

Almost every second article about this business promises mountains of gold for a novice businessman. In fact, everything is completely different.

What kind of coffee shop?

Most of all, I wanted to open a coffee shop where customers could come in and sit. A shelf with books, a chess table - this is the ideal coffee shop that I built in my imagination, but then it would have taken too much money. In addition, this style already resembles an anti-cafe.

Therefore, it was decided to open a mini-coffee shop. That is, a small, modern booth, in the form of a stall. Another name for this is a coffee kiosk.

In principle, a mini-coffee shop is in no way inferior to large coffee shops, because the main trend of coffee shops is “Coffee to go.” This is exactly the direction I tried to follow.

When I first became interested in this issue, I observed several such kiosks for several hours. One was near the train station.

Another kiosk in the city center. During the half day, these kiosks had 24 and 32 customers respectively.

Recipes for cakes and pastries in the game “My Coffee Shop”

Among the products there are a large number of both composite and produced using various equipment. This is what their recipes look like:

• Cupcake. One of the basic components that becomes available from the second level. It is produced by the storefront of the same name.
• Cheesecake. This product is found after level 4, and the “Cheesecake Display” equipment is used to generate it.
• Cupcake with cinnamon. The recipe is very simple - cupcake and cinnamon.
• Tartlet. The display case of the same name produces this product.
• Croissant. This type of delicacy becomes available at level 8 after purchasing the “Croissant Display” equipment.
• Croissant with cinnamon. Just add cinnamon.
• Croissant with cream. The same thing, only there is cream.
• Raspberry cake. Formed using the “Raspberry Cake Display”. This device becomes available from level 11. The ingredient is used in the “Coffee House” in the recipe for the “Summer” raspberry cake.

Selecting a location

Choosing a location for a coffee shop is not so easy. It seemed to me that all the best places had long been taken. The first place I chose was in a shopping center, but I was confused by the fact that it only gets busy on weekends. Other shopping centers turned me away. In several of them, the rental cost was too high.

In the end, I chose the main street of the city. Our city has its own “Arbat”. Only pedestrians can move along it. Traffic is busy, especially on weekends and holidays. There are shops and business centers here. Street vendors sell souvenirs.

I set up my kiosk near the bookstore. Rent 4 sq. m. only 12,300 per month. The agreement was concluded at the city administration. True, there is one thing... On holidays, the rent is 2400 for the space I occupy. That is, this is an additional payment to the monthly rent.

Such conditions are common throughout our country. In my case, there is a discount because I am a permanent tenant. Those who trade exclusively on holidays pay more. The price is also measured by the number of square meters occupied.

You don't have to pay for electricity. It is included in the rental price. However, during heating periods, the price increases by 900 rubles.

Structure and gameplay

The main consumers of the establishment's products are visitors. Depending on how the room is decorated and what kind of food is offered in it, they will sit longer and make a profit.

To do this, you need to use new combinations of ingredients for dishes and offer them to visitors. For example, players often search for a recipe for Summer raspberry cake in the Coffee Shop game. This dish can consist of primitive ingredients, as well as special spices that fall as gifts, are obtained from staff, or from performing various tasks.

After the establishment is created, you need to hire the appropriate staff - baristas or waiters. Each employee has his own level. Players receive experience for serving visitors. They also have a set of skills that determine the effectiveness of the staff. For example, such as speed, bonuses and the price of the dish. It is the bonuses that show how many spices will drop daily.

Just like in real life, staff can receive tips from visitors. The style of the establishment influences their size. That is, if all the elements of the cafe are made in the same design range, then tips from visitors will be higher.

Buying a coffee kiosk

There are many coffee kiosks for sale on the Internet. When I first became interested in this issue and saw the prices, I gasped! The cost of booths in the form of coffee cups is 200,000 -250,000 thousand rubles.

And this provided that I planned to keep within 200,000 thousand rubles.

The cost of this kiosk is 240,000 rubles.

This is what my kiosk looks like. Price 120,000 rub.

I managed to find a cheaper option for 120,000 rubles. I didn't consider used options. Its internal area is smaller than that of models costing 200,000 thousand rubles. It's already cramped to be there together.

The choice of kiosk should be taken very carefully. Initially, I chose the model for 90,000 rubles. and already wanted to order, but when I called the company, it turned out that this was only the cost of the frame, without interior decoration and insulation. You can buy a kiosk cheaper. Regular, rectangular. Their average price is 50,000 – 70,000 TR.

The kiosk was delivered five days after payment was made and the sales contract was signed. For most companies, the transaction scheme is approximately the same. The contract is sent to an email address; it must be signed and sent back. You can ask to send the contract by mail.

The price includes delivery directly to the location of the kiosk. After installation, it is necessary to check the integrity of the kiosk: door locks, windows, roof, absence of damage, after which a document is signed stating that the goods were received intact. It is also necessary to sign the inventory, having first checked the presence of all parts and elements of the kiosk.

Purchase of equipment

I didn't purchase any equipment for my kiosk until it was delivered to me. It was important for me to see what was going on inside and determine the size of the future equipment. How and where to place it. At that time, I was sure that I would spend a lot of money, but everything turned out cheaper than I expected.

I purchased a FUTURMAT Rimini A/2 coffee machine. One of the most expensive. Its price is growing from year to year. I managed to purchase it for 85,000 rubles. Just six months later, when I was selling the coffee shop, its price rose to 130,000 rubles.

Professional coffee machine FUTURMAT Rimini A/2

This model is used by world-famous coffee shops. It has virtually no analogues. At least in its price category. The warranty on it is 2 years.

The main quality of this device is good performance. Many coffee shops use cheap machines priced at 25,000 - 40,000 rubles. but in order not to spoil the coffee machine, you have to purchase two copies.

Another plus when purchasing this coffee machine is that as a gift the buyer receives spoons for the coptester, pencils for etching, tempering mats, several trays, several mugs for mixing ingredients.

Espresso and Americano

In the game “My Coffee Shop” all the recipes are presented in several different categories, and since their composition is in most cases similar, they can be combined and listed:

• White glaze. One espresso is added, “Ice cream” ice cream from a special machine and milk from the refrigerator.
• Mocaccino. To prepare, you need to mix espresso, regular milk and chocolate syrup. Devices for all ingredients have already been encountered before.
• Chocolate mochaccino. Espresso, milk produced by the refrigerator, chocolate syrup and grated chocolate are mixed. Among the equipment there is a special installation that produces the last component.
• Frappe with chocolate. Includes one plain espresso, ice from the freezer, chocolate syrup, cream and grated chocolate. As you can see, everything is simple, and these components have already been encountered.
• Double espresso. To prepare the recipe, you will need two components, which are produced by the Espresso Coffee Machine.
• Espresso Mojito. It consists of one simple espresso, ice cream from the appropriate refrigerator, lemon additive and mint, which is also sold as a separate additive.
• Americano with milk. For production, you will need to install an Americano Coffee Machine.
• Americano with cinnamon. A very simple recipe. Mix Americano, milk and cinnamon.
• Creamy Americano. Americano, cinnamon and cream are required.
• Americano with lemon. It's simple - Americano and lemon.
• Chocolate Americano. Mix one regular Americano, cinnamon from the additive of the same name, chocolate syrup and grated chocolate. All ingredients have already been described.
• Americano Marshmallow. Includes Americano, cinnamon, caramel syrup and Marshmallows. The last ingredient has not yet been encountered and is produced using Zephyrka equipment.
• Mocaccino with ice. The composition is similar to the previous one, with the addition of ice.
• Frappe with vanilla. Similar to the previous recipe, only vanilla syrup is added instead of caramel.
• It contains only two components - Americano and Grenadine syrup.

Identifying needs

Initially, our assortment included a lot of drinks, but after two months we kept only the most popular ones:

Cappuccino

Cappuccino is the most popular coffee. If we compare the number of purchases of this coffee as a percentage with other drinks, then according to my calculations it turns out to be 80% to 20%.

They buy not only classic cappuccino, but also with various additives. Most often it is chocolate, caramel and vanilla. Additives in the form of fruit syrups are not in demand. Maybe a banana.

Steamers

Steamer is a simple, weak cocoa drink. It is in demand not only among adults, but also among children. The main feature of the steamer is a good amount of protein cream, which is eaten with a spoon and washed down with a drink through a straw.

Steamer topping: chocolate chips, candy filling, cocoa topping.

Unclaimed drinks

Nobody buys tea. Hot chocolate is rarely bought, just like cocoa. Our assortment consisted of cappuccino of different dosages with various fillings and steamers, several types. Lattes are also bought very rarely.

The modern market for mobile and desktop entertainment is so wide that every person, regardless of what he does in real life, can plunge into the virtual world in a new way. If you want a thrill, you can try online knight quests and RPGs. Do you wish to become a businessman? There are various economic simulators for this. And if you are drawn to the land, there are different farm options for this. But the article will focus on the service sector - the game “My Coffee Shop. Recipes and stories."

Seasonality

My coffee shop operated from August 2021 to January 2021, after which it was successfully sold. During this time, I was able to determine that the best purchasing activity occurred in the fall. Although I initially assumed that most sales would be made in winter.

Summer means heat, so this time of year is the best time to buy cooling drinks. Many people think that they should start selling lemonade, but this opinion is wrong. My observations have shown that people in hot weather prefer branded carbonated drinks.

Income

The cost of one glass of cappuccino is 13-16 rubles, depending on the dosage.

The cost of one steamer is 18 rubles.

Income from each glass sold is 60 - 100 rubles.

Every day we managed to sell 40–60 glasses of coffee and steamers.

Approximate income per day varied from 3,000 to 4,500 tr.

During the work there were several holidays. On such days there are more purchases, about 70-80. To get the greatest benefit, I raised prices by 10 rubles.

Monthly income was: 90,00 – 120,000 rubles.

How to make donuts in a virtual cafe

Selling a business

When I started doing this business, I assumed that perhaps, if things were going badly, I would try to sell it, or, as a last resort, I would sell the kiosk and equipment. That's why I bought everything new.

In principle, things were not going so bad, although I initially assumed that I would earn more. Perhaps I was doing something wrong. At least he didn’t keep strict accounting. There was simply no time for this. And it is simply impossible to calculate real expenses with income down to the penny. My calculations have always been approximate.

There are many companies that sell businesses, but I did not sell my business through them. This is because they take a large percentage of the sale. The lower the value of the business, the higher the percentage. Through these companies it is important to sell a business worth more than a million rubles.

I sold my business through Avito and our local website. To be honest, I did not expect such a number of calls. There were about 10 of them.

The kiosk was bought by a woman who already had several similar coffee shops. I advertised my business for 300,000 rubles. but during a personal meeting and inspection of the coffee shop, she proved with calculations and calculations that it costs less than I want to get for it.

Total 230 00 t.r. Not bad at all. Of course, I wanted to sell it for more, but I understood that if I missed this buyer, then I don’t know when I’ll find the next one.

The sale of the kiosk and equipment was formalized through a notary (we divided all expenses equally), the lease agreement for the space was reissued at the city administration.

Thus, within six months I earned an average of 30,000 rubles. and sold the coffee shop at a price higher than what he invested by 25,000 rubles.

For those who want to save money when opening a mini-coffee shop, you need to purchase a rectangular coffee shop. Their cost is half that of coffee shops in the form of a cup of coffee. You can also save money on a coffee machine.
