## What is Simit Stand to Empire?

One simit cart, a basket of sesame bagels and a big dream… Build Istanbul's tastiest street in From Simit Stand to Empire!

START SMALL
Serve the morning rush, tap to serve the next customer, fill your till. Then take over a tea house, a döner shop, a fish sandwich boat, a baklava shop and a home-style diner.

RUN IT LIKE A REAL SHOPKEEPER
• Set your own prices: too high and customers walk away, cheap and the queue grows.
• Buy ingredients wholesale: no stock, no sales!
• Wages are due every Sunday and rent every month. Let someone go and you pay their severance.
• Grow with signboards, equipment and menu upgrades.

A 5-STAR TEAM
Masters and waiters have 1-5 stars. Train them up for faster service and more customers. Your staff sometimes ask for things: fulfil their requests to grow your team.

FOUND YOUR OWN HOLDING
Own 3 shops, then found and name your holding. Pick an architect, watch your HQ from above and grow it. Hire HR, Finance, Marketing, Purchasing, Operations and Legal directors.

A LIVING STREET
Aunties, students and tourists line up. Tour groups, match days, rain, holidays and inspections keep the street busy.

QUESTS, ACHIEVEMENTS AND GEMS
Daily, weekly and monthly quests, 100 achievements and a growing daily login reward. Earn gems from tough quests and spend them on training and requests.

GROW DISTRICT BY DISTRICT, CITY BY CITY
Pick your starting district on the map, build a 9-shop street, then move on. From Istanbul to Izmir, Ankara, Bursa, Antalya, Trabzon and Gaziantep: 7 cities, 40 districts, each with its own local food! Level your shops up to level 3 for a luxury look.

WITH FRIENDS
A Weekly League and leaderboards, plus a new Shop Pass season every month. Add friends, visit their streets and send them tea.
