Cute and charming little management game that suffers pretty heavily from two major problems: the fact that this is a mobile game not at all converted for console play, and the joy-killing salary system. First of all, this game is clearly meant for mobile play and where you check in a few times day, as opposed to playing lenghtier sessions on a console. This is the kind of game where time should pass when you're not playing, but it doesn't, so there is a lot of just staring at the screen, doing nothing, because there is little to nothing you can actively do to pass the time. No minigames or anything, just waiting for money to pile up so you can afford more upgrades andd wait for the next upgrade. This is made even worse by the fact that employee salaries are paid once a year in a clump sum that is frustratingly large, forcing you to spend half the year each year saving up a big pile of money instead of improving your cafe and menu items. Just not an especially good game, despite the charm.
