Owner's Selection Mini-Game Guide

Owner's Selection Mini-game guide for NTE (Neverness to Everness). See what the Owner's Selection minigame is, tips for clearing the stages, and a complete cafe menu list.

What Is Owner's Selection?

Serve Dishes to Earn Fons

The NTE cafe mini-game, Owner's Selection, is a mini-game where you use the ingredients and equipment around you to prepare and serve products based on customer orders. Clearing stages rewards you with Fons.

Start from the Shop Counter

This mini-game starts by directly interacting with the counter inside your own cafe. Since you can challenge it anytime once you know the location, it works well as part of your daily routine or as an easy way to earn extra money during downtime.

Consume City Stamina to Earn Rewards

Each stage has three objectives (stars) called "Sales Target Achieved." Each star earned consumes "City Stamina," and you can earn 2,000 Fons per star (up to 6,000 Fons total).

City Stamina Is Used for Earning Fons

"City Stamina" used for rewards is a dedicated weekly stamina resource for earning Fons. Even if your stamina runs low, rewards will still be calculated and paid out based on your remaining amount.

Earn Annulith Based on Total Stars

You can earn Annulith based on the total number of stars collected from all stages. You receive 20 Annulith for every 3 stars, so aim for a full clear on every stage.

Best Team Comp for the Cafe

Baicang Hammer Lacrimosa + Daffodill

Clear All 3-Star Goals with Baicang

The first step is to raise Baicang's Life Skill to Level 3. This allows combos to continue even when customers lose patience or are hit by hammers, making it much easier to clear every stage in Owner's Selection.

Best Team Comp for Hammer Cafe

Baicang

Nanally

Mint

To maximize profits, include Nanally and Mint in your lineup and raise their Life Skills to Level 3.

Nanally’s Level 3 Life Skill increases the amount of money earned after striking customers with the hammer, while Mint’s Level 3 Life Skill boosts tip income for each combo performed, stacking up to 5 times per combo.

Example of Hammer Build Use

Pros	Cons
Easy Way to Get 3-Star	Will Not Complete "Manager Guide" Task
Quick Way to Earn Fons	Requires Baicang to Work

This method is easier to clear and provides more consistent combo and Fons accumulation. However, it will not complete your Manager Guide objectives.

Fast Fons with Lacrimosa + Daffodill

The focus of this method is serving customers Lacrimosa's Special Tomato Juice, which is unlocked at Life Skill Level 3. In Stage 1-1, it is one of the highest-value dishes, and when combined with Daffodill's Level 3 Life Skill, customers are more likely to order it.

Lacrimosa

Daffodill

-

Form a team with Lacrimosa and Daffodill, both with Level 3 Life Skills. This setup allows you to rapidly complete stages by continuously serving Special Tomato Juice. Using this method, you can earn 12,000 Fons in as little as 10 seconds.

Special Tomato Juice Steps

• Form Lacrimosa and Daffodill Team
  - Life Skill Must be Level 3
• Start 1-1 New Product Practice I
• Serve Special Tomato Juice to Two Customers
• Exit the Mini-Game
• Repeat

Example of Tomato Juice

Pros	Cons
Fastest Way to Earn Fons	- Restricted to Stage 1-1 - Will Not Complete "Manager Guide" Task - Requires Lacrimosa to Work

This method is the easiest and fastest way to earn Fons with minimal effort. However, it is limited to Stage 1-1 and does not count toward Manager Guide tasks.

Tips for Clearing Owner's Selection

Assign Support Employees

Before starting the mini-game, you can assign up to 3 characters from your roster as "Support Employees". If unlocked, each character’s Life Skill will activate and make clearing stages much easier.

Combo Stabilizing Skills Recommended

Baicang is especially valuable because her ability prevents combos from breaking, making Full Combo clears much easier to achieve, which is often required for stage objectives. Lacrimosa is also highly useful, as her special menu is easy to serve and has a high unit price, helping to reduce the overall difficulty of the stage.

Best Support Employees
Baicang	Recommendation：★★★★★ In Owner's Selection, combos persist when customers lose patience or get hit by hammers.
Lacrimosa	Recommendation：★★★★★ In Owner's Selection, a special dish "Special Tomato Juice" appears, made by adding tomato juice to a glass.
Sakiri	Recommendation：★★★★☆ In Owner's Selection, Kiroumaru actively attacks and drives away Danzaburou.
Skia	Recommendation：★★★★☆ In Owner's Selection, customer patience is boosted by 50%.
Adler	Recommendation：★★★★☆ In Owner's Selection, coffee is automatically prepared.
Chiz	Recommendation：★★★★☆ In Owner's Selection, each correct dish (excluding Danzaburou) raises prices. Up to 15 times per round.
Nanally	Recommendation：★★★★☆ In Owner's Selection, hitting customers with the hammer grants 115% of the current dish price.
Daffodill	Recommendation：★★★★☆ In Owner's Selection, customers are more likely to choose the highest-priced dishes.
Mint	Recommendation：★★★☆☆ In Owner's Selection, tips increase with each combo. Up to 5 times per combo.
Aurelia	Recommendation：★★★☆☆ In Owner's Selection, customers leave additional tips when they leave.
Edgar	Recommendation：★★☆☆☆ No special skill for Owner's Selection
Haniel	Recommendation：★★☆☆☆ No special skill for Owner's Selection

Memorize Ingredient Combinations

Each menu item has a fixed combination of base ingredients and toppings. Trying to figure out the recipe after receiving an order causes a major time loss, so it is important to memorize the required ingredient combinations in advance.

Drive Away the Disguised Danzaburou

A Customer wearing a red scarf is Danzaburou in disguise. Use the hammer icon on the left side of the screen to quickly hit them and drive them away.

If You Hit the Wrong Customer

If you hit a regular customer with the hammer and drive them away, unless you have a special Life Skill like Nanally's, you will receive no reward, and your combo will also break. Make sure to correctly identify Danzaburou before using the hammer.

Prepare Base Ingredients in Advance

Every finished product requires base ingredients that must be prepared in advance. Waiting until an order is placed will waste valuable time, so it is important to prepare ingredients during downtime whenever possible.

Keep the 4 Base Ingredients Stocked

Coffee, muffins, croissants, and toast all require a brewing, baking, or cutting process. To respond to any order immediately, make sure these 4 base ingredients are always stocked.

Exit Mid-Game After Earning 3 Stars to Save Time

After completing all objectives shown in the upper right and earning 3 stars, there are no extra rewards for increasing your score further. By ending the mini-game immediately using the exit button in the upper left, you can avoid wasting extra time.

Rewards Are Still Granted After Exiting

Even if you leave mid-game, rewards will still be properly calculated based on your progress at that point (number of stars).
