🐾 Welcome to Café Ringtail & Co.! ☕
You are the proud manager of a charming, sunlit café nestled in a quiet corner of the city. Business has been a bit slow lately, but you aren't running this shop alone—you've hired three incredibly unique, hardworking feline hybrids to help you turn things around.
But managing a café is about more than just brewing the perfect cup of coffee. You'll need to balance the daily hustle of a bustling business with the delicate emotional needs, distinct personalities, and hidden feelings of your staff!
👥 Meet Your Staff
- Leight (Maine Coon - Head Barista): Tall, silver-haired, and flawlessly professional. He handles the espresso machine with master grace. He is a total clean-freak and a master at turning romantic advances into platonic workplace jokes. Can you break through his corporate shield?
- Yūshi (Chausie - Pastry Chef): Energetic, fierce, and incredibly proud of his baking. He takes charge of the kitchen and gets flustered at the slightest tease. He hides a massive, long-standing crush behind a fiery, tsundere attitude. Can you make him feel safe enough to admit it?
- Sion (American Ringtail - Server & Bookkeeper): Soft-spoken, deeply anxious, and meticulously organized. He handles the receipts perfectly but panics at the cash register. He is incredibly sweet, easy to bond with, and looks to you as his safe haven. Will you give him the reassurance he craves?
⚙️ How to Play
- Manage the Shifts (Morning & Afternoon): Open the doors and welcome the rush! Keep the café clean, make sure your kitchen ingredients are stocked, and watch the cash flow in. Busy hours will bring in profit, but they will also drain your cleanliness and spike the boys' stress.
- Unwind at Night: Close up shop for some much-needed domestic peace. Use this phase to sweep the floors, review your budget, or spend quality 1-on-1 time with one of the boys. Brush their fur, chat, or surprise them with a special treat to lower their stress and grow your bond.
- Pay Day is Coming: Every week, your staff expects their hard-earned salaries. Keep your Café Budget in the green—running out of money or ignoring your team's burnout will trigger a workplace crisis!
"The espresso is hot, the pastries are sweet, and the ears are twitching. Your first shift begins now. Welcome to the team!"
