Cauldron Counter

Behind the counter

Customers queue at your counter, and each of them wants something particular, so the first job is to read the order carefully. Click or tap a customer to take it, find the right brew and put it on a cauldron that is free. Then tap the cauldron to stir, and hand the potion over while it is still steaming. Every customer has only so much patience, so each order is a small race against the time they are willing to wait.

Why speed matters

Fast service is what earns tips. The faster you stir, the sooner a potion is ready, which means quicker service and a better tip, so it pays to stir with quick taps rather than let a brew sit. When the queue is long, extra cauldrons give you more places to brew at once.

Spending your coins

Coins go back into the shop. You can spend them on new recipes, more cauldrons, decor for the shop and apprentices. Apprentices take over the brewing, so you no longer have to handle every potion yourself. The shop also keeps selling overnight, so there are sales waiting for you when you come back.

Growing the business

Reputation drives the long game. Reaching reputation milestones lets you franchise upward, and the business can move through four homes in all, starting as a street stall and ending in the Wizard Mall. Your permanent Stars stay with you each time you move up, so every new location starts with something already earned.
