The Cafe by Origen Overview
Earn Money by Managing The Cafe by Origen
The Cafe by Origen is a coffee shop management feature that lets you earn money (Fons). Managing the cafe and using its features will automatically generate Fons over time, making it an efficient way to earn in-game currency.
Unlocked During City Tycoon Lv. 4
The Cafe by Origen is not unlocked from the start; it becomes available by progressing through Hethereau Hobbies and raising your City Tycoon to Lv. 4. In the early game, prioritize reaching Tycoon Lv. 4 first to unlock this coffee shop business.
Purchase a Shop After Reaching Level 4
After reaching Tycoon Lv. 4, go directly to the designated Property or potential shop location to purchase the shop. The locations of potential shops and Properties can be checked on the map screen at any time.
The Cafe by Origen's Features and How to Use Them
Managing The Cafe by Origen
Manage The Cafe by Origen and adjust various settings on its dedicated management screen. This screen can be accessed at any time by going directly to the shop counter or through the item in the "Hethereau Hobbies" section of the Menu.
Management Level is Important
To increase your Fons earning efficiency, it's crucial to raise your Management Level. The Management Level increases based on the cumulative revenue collected from the shop, so be sure to collect your earnings regularly.
Registering Products to Sell
Registering products on the Menu allows you to acquire Fons over time. While revenue is small at first, raising your Management Level increases the number of displayable menu items, gradually improving your earning efficiency.
Unlocking Products and Trait Model
As your Management Level increases, you'll unlock new, more efficient menu items with higher selling prices. Furthermore, after reaching Mgmt Lvl. 22, you can also upgrade existing unlocked menu items.
Restocking Ingredients
In addition to displaying products, you must restock ingredients. Otherwise, they won't be sold, and you won't generate revenue. The warehouse can hold up to 72 hours' worth of ingredients, so purchase them from shops around town and restock frequently.
Utilize the Purchase List
From the restock screen, you can register missing ingredients to the Purchase List. This list shows the required types and quantities at a glance. You can also check their acquisition locations from the item screen, which helps you gather materials efficiently.
Delivery Unlocked at Management Level 2
When your Management Level reaches 2, the Delivery function unlocks, letting you have missing materials delivered directly. While this saves you the trouble of shopping, it comes with a delivery fee, so use this feature depending on your financial situation.
Assigning Employees
You can assign up to two of your characters as employees in each shop. Assigning characters with unlocked management-related skills provides beneficial effects, such as increased sales.

Tips for Earning Fons Efficiently
Restock Ingredients to Avoid Running Out
If your items are out of stock, you will stop earning Fons completely. Utilize the 72-hour stock capacity and be sure to fill the warehouse before going idle to maintain long-term operation.
Switch to Unlocked Menu Items
Newly acquired menu items have higher Fons earning efficiency than the initial ones. Therefore, you should immediately switch your displayed items when your Management Level increases and new products are unlocked.
Increase the Number of Shops
Having more shops boosts overall customer traffic and provides more slots for displaying menu items. When your Management Level rises and new potential shop locations are unlocked, make it a top priority to purchase Property and expand your business.
Utilize Employees' City Skill
The City Skills of employees assigned to a shop provide advantages for shop management, such as increasing sales per unit and decreasing ingredient consumption speed. Prioritize assigning characters with management-related skills to boost your efficiency.
Increase Popularity with Shop Remodeling
The increase in Popularity from shop customization is directly linked to your revenue per hour. Once you have some spare funds, purchase interior items, focusing on tables or chairs, to improve both the appearance and your profits.
