How to play
The app opens straight into a ready-made demo shop, so the fastest way to learn is to serve a customer. But if you like knowing where everything is, here is the whole game in five short chapters.
1. Build a shop 🏗️
Tap Build a new shop on the home screen. Choose a shop, cafe or restaurant, give it a name and a picture, and pick your currency - there are fifteen, each with its real notes and coins.
Then stock the shelves: Shop tools → My items lets you add things to sell from hundreds of pictures, write little descriptions, set prices and put things on sale. There is no wrong amount to charge for a babyccino.
2. Serve customers 🛎️
Tap things on the register to ring them up - the receipt at the bottom keeps the running total. When the customer is ready, press Pay!.
Tap the notes and coins the customer hands over. If it isn't enough, the till shows what is still owed and waits - no answers given away. Then count the change back, take the money, and enjoy the confetti. The takings land in the bank.
3. Print the shop 🖨️
Shop tools → Print is the printing press: barcode stickers, price tags, pretend money, menus, table signs, SALE posters and receipts, all on plain A4. Print one, a few, or a whole sheet.
No printer handy? Choose Save to Files (or Save as PDF) in the print sheet and print later - or play entirely on screen. To try printing without the app, start with the free printables.
4. Scan it back in 📷
Stick the printed barcodes on real things - tins, toys, teddies - and tap Scan a sticker at the register. Hold the sticker up to the camera and it rings itself up, straight from the preview. No photo is taken.
The first scan asks for camera permission. Say no and every other part of the game still works - scanning is the only thing that needs it.
5. Grown-ups corner 🔐
On the home screen, behind a grown-ups-only gate: save the whole game as a single backup file, load a backup onto a new device, and manage the one optional purchase. Backups are ordinary files - keep them wherever you keep precious things.
Anything else? Say hello and ask.
