1. Bake your first batch
Campaign begins with $3,200, one oven, a baker, a server and starter ingredients. Press 1× to run time. Each game hour, an active oven consumes ingredients and produces its assigned recipe. Customers buy automatically.
Tap the oven to change recipes or pause baking. Tap the pastry counter to set prices. Bread and cookies are available immediately; croissants and berry cakes require development.
2. Keep the counter fresh
The bakery opens at 6 a.m. and closes at 6 p.m. All unsold food is donated at closing; ingredients stay in the pantry. Producing more than you can sell ties up ingredients without generating revenue.
Higher prices reduce demand. Morning, lunch and afternoon rushes increase it, as do weekends and neighborhood promotions. Read sales and waste together before expanding.
3. Build a complete operation
Every active oven needs a baker. Each counter server can sell up to 32 items per game hour. New ovens add energy costs, and all wages and rent are charged at closing.
Order ingredients with two game hours to spare. Ovens lose one condition point per successful batch and stop below 20%. Service an oven for $75 or upgrade it to bake larger batches. Larger batches consume proportionally more ingredients.
4. Plan a catering order
One new catering request appears each day. Accept up to two active orders and fulfill them within 24 game hours. Pause shop sales to reserve stock, then dispatch from Catering orders and resume sales.
Stock is still donated at closing, even if it was intended for catering. Build and dispatch your batch in the same day. Missing a deadline reduces reputation by four.
5. Grow through your goals
Accounts separates sales, consumed ingredients and daily running costs. Supply purchases, upgrades, recipe development and marketing also change cash, while goal rewards and sandbox funding are not sales.
Claim six chapter rewards in Goals. Completing the campaign leaves the bakery open for continued play. The campaign closes after three consecutive nights below $0; sandbox has extra funding and no forced closure. Export a save from More → Save & settings before moving devices.
