The Cafe by Origen Overview
Earn Passive Fons from the Cafe
The Cafe by Origen is a coffee shop minigame that allows you to passively earn Fons (in-game currency). Because the cafe generates money automatically over time while you play, it is one of the most efficient ways to build your wealth in NTE.
Unlocks at City Tycoon Level 4
You cannot access the cafe right away. The feature unlocks as you progress through Hethereau Hobbies and raise your overall City Tycoon rank to Lv. 4. In the early game, your top priority should be reaching Level 4 to start your coffee business as soon as possible.
How to Raise Tycoon LevelPurchasing the Shop
Once you hit Tycoon Lv. 4, you must travel directly to the designated Property location in the city to physically purchase the shop. You can check the exact locations of available Properties by opening your map screen at any time.
What You Can Do With PropertiesCafe Features & Management Mechanics
Accessing the Shop Management Screen
All of your business operations are handled through the dedicated Shop Management screen. You can open this interface by either walking up to the shop counter in person or by accessing the Hethereau Hobbies menu from anywhere in the world.
Why Management Level Matters
Raising your Management Level is the single most important factor in boosting your Fons income. The Management Level increases automatically based on the cumulative revenue you collect from the shop, so be sure to claim your Fons regularly to keep leveling up.
Certain Level Unlocks Features
In addition to unlocking more items and upgrades in the existing menu, reaching certain Management Levels also unlocks additional convenience features.
| Level 2 | Delivery Unlocked. 80% Fee Required |
|---|---|
| Level 15 | Delivery Fee Drops to 60% |
| Level 20 | Delivery Fee Drops to 40%. Fashion Center Unlocked |
| Level 25 | Delivery Fee Drops to 20% |
| Level 30 | Delivery is Free |
| Level 40 | Auto Restock Unlocked |
Unlocking & Assigning Products
You must assign products to your Menu in order to start earning Fons over time. While your initial revenue will be small, leveling up your Management Level unlocks additional display slots and gradually improves your earning efficiency.
High-Tier Products and Upgrades
As your Management Level climbs, you will unlock new, high-tier menu items with significantly higher selling prices. Once you reach Management Level 22, you will also unlock the ability to directly upgrade your existing menu items to make them even more profitable.
Restocking Ingredients
Simply assigning products is not enough. If you do not restock ingredients, your shop will stop selling and your revenue will drop to zero. Your warehouse can hold up to 72 hours' worth of ingredients, so buy from city shops and restock frequently.
Add Ingredients to Shopping List
From the restock screen, you can add any missing ingredients to your Shopping List. The list shows you exactly what materials and how many you need at a glance, and the item screen even tells you where to find them, so you can gather materials efficiently.
Unlock Delivery at Management Level 2
Reaching Management Level 2 unlocks the Delivery function, which sends missing ingredients straight to your shop. It saves you the trip, but a delivery fee is added on top, so balance convenience with your budget before using it.
Assigning Employees
You can assign up to two of your characters to work as employees at each shop. If the assigned character has a management-related Life Skill that is already unlocked, you will gain powerful buffs such as increased sales prices.

How to Get Life Skill Materials
Life Skills give you powerful management buffs, but you'll need materials to unlock them. These materials can be obtained from Daily Quests as well as Management Guide rewards. Level up your characters' management skills alongside running your shops.
Redecorating the Cafe
You can redecorate your shop across three categories: Tables & Chairs, Walls, and Decor. Swapping these out raises your shop's Popularity and boosts your Fons earning efficiency, so customize aggressively whenever you can.
Purchasing Items and Furnitures
Each item that increases Popularity can be bought from the matching shop in the city. We recommend prioritizing upgrades to your Tables & Chairs first, since they tend to provide the best Popularity boost per purchase.
| Decor Type | Shop Location |
|---|---|
| Tables & Chairs | DeLuxur Decor |
| Walls | Oops! Chest Gift Shop Moby-Dick Bookstore, etc. |
| Ornaments | DSD POP |
Tips for Maximizing Your Fons Income
Keep Your Ingredients Fully Stocked
While your shop is out of stock, Fons earnings stop completely. The warehouse holds 72 hours' worth of materials, so make it a habit to fill it to the brim before going idle so your shop keeps running for as long as possible.
Upgrade Your Displayed Menu Items
Higher-tier menu items earn Fons more efficiently than your initial offerings. Whenever your Management Level rises and a new product unlocks, swap out your old display items immediately as a rule.
Expand and Buy More Shops
More shops mean more total customer traffic and more menu display slots running at once. Whenever a new property unlocks as you raise your Management Level, buy that property as your top priority to expand your business.
Activate Life Skills
The Life Skills of the employees you assign to a shop give you powerful buffs like higher unit prices and slower ingredient consumption. Prioritize placing characters with management-related skills to push your earnings even higher.
Increase Popularity via Redecorating
The Popularity gained from redecorating directly increases your hourly revenue. Once you have some cash to spare, invest in new interior decor (especially Tables & Chairs) to upgrade both your shop's looks and its profits.
