Tavern Manager Simulator

Tavern Manager Simulator comes from developer One More Time, with publishers One More Time and Polnoch. The game released on August 13, 2024, for PC and PlayStation 5. Players take over an abandoned fantasy tavern. The task is to restore it and make it famous across the kingdom.

About the Game

The work starts with repairs. Players renovate a rundown building, buy supplies, and open the doors to their first customers. Cooking and serving then fill the day, from pouring beer to chopping meat and stirring cauldrons.

Better cooking skill means better dishes and bigger tips. Additionally, special visitors bring unique requests that can raise the tavern’s reputation. Earnings pay for upgrades such as a second floor, bards, and expanded stables. Hidden secrets across the fantasy land reward curious players who explore beyond the bar.

Key Features

Tavern Restoration: Players fix up the building and add decorations. Each upgrade makes the business more efficient and more attractive.
Cooking and Serving: Customers expect food and drink quickly. Therefore, speed and quality both decide how much players earn in tips.
Unique Visitors: Special NPCs arrive with their own requests. Serving them well gives a strong reputation boost.
Staff and Expansion: Players can add helpers and grow the tavern. They can also adjust staff jobs and customer flow to change the pace.
