About this app

One grinder. One brewer. One counter. A queue of impatient customers who want their coffee NOW. Tapuchino is a coffee shop tycoon that starts hands-on. Grind the beans, pull the shots, serve the customers and decide what to buy next. Then hire staff and automate the cafe as your business grows. RUN THE LINE Coffee moves through your cafe one stage at a time: - Tap the grinder to turn beans into fresh grounds - Tap the brewer to turn grounds into a hot cup - Tap the counter to sell that cup to a waiting customer Every machine runs on its own timer. The trick is overlapping them: start another grind while the brewer works, sell a cup while the next one is already going. A well-timed cafe never has an idle machine. KEEP THE QUEUE MOVING Customers arrive whether you are ready or not, and each one wants a specific drink. Serve them quickly and they tip - and the pricier the order, the bigger the tip. Keep the queue moving while you are in charge: a full queue costs popularity, one star out of five at a time. BUILD THE MENU Start with one basic coffee and finish with seventeen recipes - espresso, americano, cappuccino, latte, iced coffee, caramel coffee, affogato, coffee and pastry, mocha frappe, deluxe iced mocha and more. Every new recipe sells for more than the last, and the fancier ones need the right machine humming behind the counter. BUY THE MACHINES Seven specialist devices join your first three: milk steamer, ice maker, syrup bar, blender, dessert fridge, pastry oven and packaging station. Each one turns a delivered ingredient into drinks your customers pay extra for. UPGRADE EVERYTHING Ten levels for every one of your ten machines. Faster cycles first, then batch processing, until a single tap does the work of five. Before you spend a coin the upgrade screen shows exactly what changes: the current value, the difference, and the new value. No guessing whether an upgrade is worth it. HIRE YOUR STAFF Each cafe can hire ten baristas, one for every station. You can also choose one of four managers to take charge, whose perks reach across the whole cafe: faster deliveries, bigger shipments, more customers through the door. DEAL WITH SUPPLIERS Running out of beans means losing customers. Sign contracts with bean roasters and ingredient suppliers, pay up front, and wait for the van. Bundle deals cover several ingredients in one trip. Put a manager in charge and your deliveries can reorder themselves. GROW THE CAFE Fifteen cafe levels, fed by everything you earn. Each one raises how many customers you can seat and how quickly they arrive, and unlocks the next recipe, machine, supplier or hire. From level fourteen the cafe starts throwing surprises at you - customer rushes, supply surges and golden bean drops. COME BACK TO A FULL TILL Staff the counter and put a manager in charge, and your cafe keeps trading while the app is closed. The standard window credits up to 4 hours at 50% of the active rate. One-use offline passes can extend a longer absence to 8, 12 or 24 hours. When you return, a clear summary shows exactly what your staff earned. LEARN AS YOU GO Mr. Luwak, a semi-retired coffee legend with strong opinions about naps, walks you through your first grind, your first sale and your first contract. He hands out goals with real rewards and then gets out of your way.
