Coffee Tycoon

First, there was the Lemonade Stand Game. That was interesting, but wait until you try this game. It's called Coffee Tycoon. Basically, you run a coffee empire. Call it Starbucks and imagine you are Howard Schultz. This is only a demo but it is still fun.
On the first page, you can manage Baristas, Managers, and Executives. After you have done that, you must buy drinks to sell to customers. However, you don't have all the drinks already. You have to make some money first. Then you have a choice of about 36 different ones.
On the next page, you manage your empire. You have the option to open more stores: 1, 5, 25, or even 1000 stores. You also have the option to give your employees benefits.
Next, you can upgrade you equipment to buy better, more complicated drinks. You can also build buildings to make world headquarters or a plantation. Stocks are also controlable so you can hire a Financial Officer or takeover a company.
Finally, there is advertising. You can choose to advertise in a bunch of media places like newspaper or even the super bowl!
And how would a coffee tycoon run if it didn't know it's customers. Therefore, there is a section where you can read about the different customers that enter your stores.
Before you can do any of the big things, you have to work with one store making a few hundred dollars a day.
This game is very fun and will get you to want to buy the full version. Have Fun!!
