• Upgrade shops – Level 5 shops bring significantly more income.
• Watch competitors’ market share – If they grow too strong, use more aggressive marketing.
• Play the Perfect Pour mini-game often – It’s a free way to boost quality and get quick cash.
• Buy supply contracts and research – They permanently increase coffee quality.
• The win progress bar (in Business Stats) tells you how close you are to victory.
