Money-Making Methods Tier List

The highest-margin venue type in the game. Expensive to set up and staff, but once established they are the strongest passive income engine — and a prestige goal for late-game players.

Buy energy at low daytime rates and sell at inflated nighttime prices — especially during cold snaps and storms. Margins can be enormous, but CorpSec can fine you if you get caught. High risk, highest reward.

Strong margins with a full kitchen and dining room. Best once you have a greenhouse and fishing route supplying ingredients — food cost drops and profit climbs fast.

Great evening traffic with liquor markups. Pairs well with restaurants next door — customers bounce between venues during the same night out.

Low overhead and simple supply chains. Steady, boring income that works well as a second location while you manage a bigger venue.

A natural upgrade path from the noodle bar. High volume, fast service, but thinner margins — profits come from sheer customer count during rush hours.

Cheap to run and a fine first expansion, but weather-sensitive: rain and storms drive customers indoors and away from stalls. Treat as a stepping stone.

Your starting venue. It is the tutorial for the whole management system — learn menu pricing, staff scheduling and inventory here before you expand anywhere else.
