Tips for a better score
- People will pay more when it is hot: roughly 80 plus 5 for every degree above 15, so 1.30 is fair at 25° and 0.80 is plenty at 15°. Price well above that and most walk on.
- Reputation is the long game. A recipe that leaves people sour, or running out while a queue waits, drops it, and every point costs you passers-by and what they are willing to pay tomorrow.
- Taste changes with the weather: balanced suits most days, strong wins on cool days under 18°, and on hot days of 26 or more light beats strong. Warm days of 20 or more also want ice in every cup.
- Fruit spoils overnight and ice melts (half of it on a hot sunny day), but sugar and cups keep. Buy fruit for the day, not for the week, and watch the stock line on the big button.
- You can serve 36 cups a day until you buy the big jug (64). On a busy day with a full queue, a higher price earns more than more stock.
- If money ever runs out, a neighbour tops you up to 3.00 so you can keep trading. Floats are not counted as money made.
About Juice Stand
Juice Stand gives you a little stand on a sunny corner and one trading day for every real day. Read the forecast (the weather, the temperature and the day's event are the same for everybody), set a price, pick a recipe from thin to rich, and buy fruit, sugar, ice and cups. Then open up and watch the passers-by: some buy, some say it is too pricey, some pull a sour face, and some find you sold out. A paper ledger adds up the takings, the stock, what spoiled overnight and your reputation, which brings more people and fatter wallets the better it gets. Profits buy a big jug, a sign, an umbrella and a cooler. A season is 30 trading days and then it scores what you made. Missing a day costs nothing: the next visit simply trades the next day. After today's trade there is a practice stand with random days to try ideas on.
