Overview
Lemonade Tycoon is a business simulation game focusing on the selling of lemonade.
Gameplay
Basic Rules of the Game
Players manage many aspects of owning their very own business; while selling as much lemonade as possible.
Choosing recipes, set prices, and sell lemonade in a variety of locations, are important factors in advancing in the game.
The money the player earns from selling lemonade is used to replenish supplies (lemons, sugar, water and cups) and spend on advertising, which increases the potential number of customers the player can have in a day.
Players can also buy upgrades to aid them such as ice makers, and employees such as a cashier or clown, which reduce wait time and increase patience.
Other Factors
Location also plays a factor, there are a total of five different locations a player can set up a stand at, each costing a certain amount of money for rent. Each location has its own popularity and satisfaction stats, which are based on the players' performance.
Changing weather and news are some of the things the player must compensate for. Players have a variety of upgrades to buy in order to overcome some factors, such as long lines and stock.
