Coffee Inc 2 12+

Let me just start off by saying this is one of my favorite mobile games out there. I’m rating it a 5 because it’s great and I don’t have any real issues with it. I only have suggestions that I’d like to see in the game.

I want wages to have a greater affect on store service and, thus, sales. This is generally accepted to be true: better wages, better service, better sales. So, if you’re paying your employees minimum/low wages, then you’re essentially putting a cap on the service that your employees provide and traffic decreases, as well as employees leaving for your competitors. If you’re paying employees well, your service cap increases which also increases traffic, and you’re more likely to find more talented workers. The drawback, of course, is that your stores are not profiting as much as they could be.

In addition to this, I’d like an option to see what other companies might be paying their employees. It doesn’t have to be exact, but a range would be nice. If you want to be a competitive company, you have to hire at similar/better wages than competitors, in addition to having benefits. I also want an option to hire employees at a set minimum wage across the world, city, etc. Many companies and organizations have a minimum wage they hire employees at in certain states. So, if I hire a COO to control operations, I know that employees are being hired at, say, $20/hr.

This game is super cool! I played version 1 a lot I definitely see way more challenge and enjoyment in version 2. I would love to see more investment advances like the previous version with VC and funding early companies. The stock market in this version is slow and there’s not really any high growth in them. I’d also like to see longer term loans or custom loans, to directly invest in real estate. Like a “buy with mortgage” option. None the less, super interesting game love the C-Suite portion of things and hiring a manager. It’s super involved in the beginning and more high level expansion and growth after that.

As far as it being too advanced I can tell people don’t understand the concept and/or difference between net income and cash flow by their comments. The games platform has a tremendously opportunity to offer financial education. Whether a section of the game to teach user the various financial statement concepts and fundamentals Or a help section could be a super cool and fun opportunity to teach financial literacy. I know in business school we had a fairly similar but much more detailed simulation like this to compete with our other classmates.

Would love to chat if you guys have any more questions. I’d think I could offer a lot of ideas to further advance the game.

I like the game. Very well developed and fun to play. I wish there were more than just a ratings based hiring system though, like perhaps you could interview candidates for certain positions. Also, I wish when you delegated division operations to your executives, they would take initiative to improve the company themselves, specifically the COO, CPO, and CTO. COO seems to not want to ever start employee benefit programs. While the CPO does help with creating a coffee blend, they never seem to develop new products on their own. I don’t think I’ve ever seen the CTO develop any new technology without requesting it first. Not sure if you have to reach a certain net income threshold so you’re not spending too much, or if they just aren’t programmed to do that on their own. I get that part of running the company is to start these programs and develop these products yourself, but the delegation of those tasks seems pointless if they aren’t taking some of the initiative themselves.
