More Variety
Would love to seemlre variety with countries and less us focused like others have said. More countries and more things to expand into.
Great Start, Needs Works
This is a really fun game that has clearly had a lot of hard work put into it. Considering that it is a game about running a coffee company, it is surprisingly complex. Want to run a software company that sells coffee? You can. Want to run a chain that focuses on community funding and political action? Sure. Don't like coffee? Just become a day trader. Want to grow crops and breed new beans? Crack on.
If you like "number go up" games and/or turn-based strategy games you will likely enjoy this. Give it a try!
This is a fairly long review so feel free to stop reading and go download the game. I'm writing this in the hope that the devs see it and make the necessary adjustments to make a good game even better.
I got hooked on this game and have had so much fun playing, however there are some things that still require polishing.
Store management can quite frustrating. Having to configure the marketing for each new location wastes a lot of time; you should be able to set a default policy, similar to how the store builder remembers your last build. Being able to set certain marketing options company-wide and delegate only certain choices to store managers would be a great QoL improvement too.
I've also noticed that there are sometimes locations on the map that are completely concealed by skyscrapers. They are operable stores but you can't see their icons. I'm not sure if these are supposed to be easter eggs but they often clash with other icons and end up getting selected by mistake.
The executive floor is fairly buggy and unintuitive. Often, when delegated staffing responsibilities, the executives will simply clean house straight away. I've only had one CFO who didn't fire all the investment officers constantly. The COO will often nuke the HR department too. These actions are always taken without warning or explanation. It's really frustrating and I've had two separate companies almost bankrupted by execs suddenly losing their minds. I got curious and played around with stock options in a few different play-throughs and noticed no correlation between exec's actions, loyalty or their compensation. Whether it's working or not, this part of the game needs cleaning up.
I've put a lot of hours into this game and could probably go on but instead I'll just say that this game would really benefit from another thorough round of play testing. There are a lot of little details that need working on; to name one more: the cars on the streets outside the coffee shop are often glitchy and stutter around.
I hope this was a helpful read for someone. Enjoy your coffee :)

Slider scale for offers
Pretty decent game. I enjoy the real estate aspect more than purchasing the coffee fronts. Making an offer, sometimes hundreds of millions of dollars lower at a time, takes awhile, especially when trying to buy all of the real estate that pops up in a single week. Adding a slider scale would be greatly appreciated (especially from my thumb)! Also something like a green check mark for visited cities every week. I fly city to city, country to country almost every week searching for properties, and a lot of flights are redundant because I forget which city I visited already, but something simple like an indicator for a visited city that week would be helpful. Thanks for the work so far, it’s nice to not have to be completely wrapped up and can focus on other tasks while being active on this.

😠
When I tried to build my coffee building, it says it’ll take weeks
Play with real people
I hope there’s a version where you play with/against real people
Great game… but no Canada
Honestly, I like this game. It’s tricky at first, but once you get started, it’s really fun. I would like it if it was less American focused and let you choose your starting country. Also, why no Canadian citys, CAD or hockey? Great game tho
Definitely more than a coffee game
Fun relaxing
Worth your time!
I got sucked in and do not regret a minute of it. Very very good!
LOVE
This game is addictively fun! It’s fun to try to see what will make the most money!
Need to fix slider UI
The slider for stocks is broken it only lets you spend all your money or none at all
lost all my progress
i played for around two hours straight after downloading and i exited without saving and now all my progress is gone 😭 im devastated. i wish there was a feature that automatically saved the game instead of having to do it manually
Request
Need to be able to swipe between investments as opposed to having to back out to go look at them one at at time. Same for prospects.
A permanent ticker of my company’s stock price so I don’t have to keep going to different screens to see the price. There’s quite a few QOL improvements that’s stopping this game from being perfect.

GOOD COFFEE GREAT COFFEE
Make a story mode!
Great Game
One of the best business simulations I’ve ever played.
Too much micromanagement
I was having fun at first but over time the game starts to lose its appeal. The game deteriorates into micromanagement of 20+ shops in a bunch of cities. Some cities passed gender equality laws. My COO doesn't hire evenly so I either have to turn off manager hiring globally or manually check cities repeatedly. Sometimes I've had to fire good managers to make DEI hires. (Really???) Next, recycling laws meant I had to turn off store manager marketing so I can manually force recycling. Amsterdam passed a market share law so I have to continually check market share or just leave the city. By the time you have enough cash to lobby, the laws are already in place, plus it isn't reliable. Checking stores in a growing number of cities took all the fun out of it and there is no indicator you're out of compliance unless you get slapped with a fine. It seems to be an attempt to mirror the real world, but in the real world there would be general managers for each city who see to the compliance and you fire the GMs who don't. Given all the 5-star reviews players must enjoy the fiddly game play but it's not for me.

You should make a new game
I absolutely love this game. It is my absolute number one comfort game whenever I’m feeling stressed. I think you can make a game just like this except it was a fast food chain. I think that would be so fun and add tons of new layers to the storyline.
Great game, needs a couple QoL changes.
Solid game overall but it needs quality of life changes. For example, when viewing the investment wings for your business, you shouldn’t have to click through two pages to invest in companies your employees recommend, it should just be in that same page. It makes it so you have to go back and forth for every single investment, especially late game.

Improve Managment
This game is genuinely good and it’s actually the first business tycoon i’ve liked. But I recommend making it possible to check on all coffee shops in 1 place, instead of having to go to every business and click on it.
Absurdly slow action
Waiting ages for first day’s decisions to be put into effect. Pointlessly protracted turn. Also can’t play other audio while playing game on silent. A waste of time.
