Getting started as a barista

Step

In short Serving your first order and learning where tips go will set you up for everything else in the game.

When you load in, your one job is to take customer orders and deliver the right drink or snack. Every order you complete earns tips, which are the currency you spend at the shop. Keep an eye on the shop early so you know what you are working toward.

Collect your tips each completed order adds tips to your total.
Visit the shop spend those tips on upgrades that improve and decorate the cafe.
Return to lobby if you need to exit fast, type /return in the in-game chat.

Scoring perfectly on every order

Tips

In short A perfect order scores 100 points, and chaining them across a busy day unlocks some of the most rewarding badges in the game.

Points per order go from zero up to 100. Hitting 100 on a single order counts as a perfect, and doing that consistently opens up harder badge conditions. On any day that has six or more customers, every order must be perfect to earn the Perfect Day badge.

Tips worth knowing

Aim for 100 points on every single order, not just most of them.
On a day with six or more customers, one imperfect order costs you the Perfect Day badge.
When a Unique Customer walks in, serve them immediately and score at least 80 points to unlock the Swiftly Prepared badge.
Clearing all of Story Mode using only perfect orders satisfies the hardest scoring badge in the game.

Story Mode difficulty tiers

Table

In short Work through the three difficulty tiers in order — each one unlocks a badge and prepares you for the next.

Story Mode has three named difficulty levels. Clear a tier and you earn its badge; the same run can also count toward the all-perfects badge if every order scores 100.

Iron Barista	the entry-level tier; clear it to earn A Little Spice.
Gold Barista	the mid-level tier; clear it to earn Higher Tolerance.
Diamond Barista	the hardest tier; clear it to earn Coffee Lieutenant.
All-perfects run	finish any Story Mode run with zero imperfect orders to earn Obsessive and Compulsive.

Hazards on specific story days

Warn

In short Days 5, 6, and 7 each throw a specific hazard at you that you need to plan for before it hits.

The story does not stay calm throughout. Certain days introduce obstacles that will cost you customers or profits if you are not ready.

Worth watching out for

Day 5 floods the floor keep moving and protect your profit margin despite the wet surface.

Day 6 runs through an earthquake every customer must still be served before the day ends, with no refunds for spills.

Day 7 brings a special event the badge is called Experiment Concluded.

Unique Customers and hidden secrets

Check

In short Several of the game's most interesting badges require you to notice specific characters or trigger hidden sequences rather than just serving drinks.

Beyond regular customers, the cafe has Unique Customers and a handful of secret events. Missing any one Unique Customer means the Gang's All Here badge stays out of reach.

Serve every Unique Customer at least once to unlock The Gang's All Here badge.
Prepare and serve an artificial Void Mocha to unlock Our Little Secret.
Find the rabbit and feed it a carrot to begin the chain of events that leads to the Chronicles of King Egg badge.
Help the character Xndra reach her home planet to earn E.T. Go Home.
Meet developer Bili_Billie or real_haemster inside the game to earn Corporate and Rodent.
Try the RNGBoy device rolling a 1 in 1,000,000 earns The Celestial One badge.

Maxing out the shop

Summary

In short Fully upgrading every item in the shop earns the First-Class Cafe badge and makes the cafe look its best.

Tips come in one order at a time, so the fastest path to a fully upgraded cafe is simply keeping the orders coming.

Tip source　every completed customer order adds to your tip total.
Final goal　purchase every upgrade at its maximum level to unlock First-Class Cafe.

Common questions

FAQ

How do I get back to the lobby quickly?

Type /return in the in-game chat and you will be sent to the lobby straight away.

Which Story Mode difficulty should I start on?

Start with Iron Barista — clearing it earns your first difficulty badge. Once that feels comfortable, move up to Gold and then Diamond.

Do I have to play Story Mode in one sitting to get the all-perfects badge?

The Obsessive and Compulsive badge requires that every order across the entire Story Mode run scores 100 points. That means no imperfect orders from the first day to the last.

Is The Celestial One badge something I can grind for?

The RNGBoy gives you a 1 in 1,000,000 chance each roll, so earning the badge is entirely down to luck.

What counts as a Unique Customer?

Unique Customers are special named characters separate from the ordinary customers you serve every shift. The Gang's All Here badge requires you to serve every one of them at least once.
