This conversation-centered adventure follows Jill as she makes drinks at the bar, listens to customers and goes about her life. Shopping at home, managing your balance and checking save opportunities help progression alongside mixing drinks.

Keep the PC main game separate from other content
The scope is the main game for Steam AppID 447530. English names are provided to identify the same drinks, not recipes from another game.
- Check that you started the main game from the title screen. Keep it separate from PROLOGUE or ANNA order lists
- If Japanese name spellings or long vowels differ, compare the accompanying English name and ingredient quantities
- Do not apply console button images or trophy-specific bugs directly to PC
This guide is based on comparing sources. It is not a record of personally replaying every conversation or a guarantee of every achievement on the latest build.
Check home → work → break → second half → home in order
You cannot save freely at any moment throughout the day. When stopping, save at home or during the break so your restart point is clear.
Wide tables scroll horizontally.
| Stage | What to do | Information to retain |
|---|---|---|
| Home | Check Jill's thoughts, shopping, balance and manual save | Date and balance before work |
| Start work | Set the music and listen to orders | Specified name, flavor, size and alcohol amount |
| Mix drinks | Check the recipe before making it, then read the finished name | How many drinks the order requests |
| Break | Save in a separate slot before the second half | Whether the save is after completing the first half |
| Return home | Check results and bills | Income relative to the next payment deadline |

Reading at home and selecting music are separate from opening recipes. You do not have to read everything before you can make drinks.
Distinguish a failed recipe from a drink that does not fit the order
If the finished name differs from what you intended, check the recipe. If the name is correct but the reaction differs, check the order. Changing both at once makes the cause harder to identify.
- Check the finished name. Ice, aging and Mix/Blend are part of the recipe as well as ingredient quantities
- Once you have the right drink, reread the normal/Big and alcohol requirements
- Distinguish flavor requests from type requests. Classic and Classy are separate categories
- For orders handled differently according to the date and customer even with the same drink, compare the relevant daily section
Making the correct drink, earning a service rating and triggering a particular conversation are not always the same goal.
Subtract the next bill before spending your entire balance
Do not treat sales figures as money Jill can freely spend. Distinguish income on the results screen from the balance at home.
- Check the next payment date and required amount in the daily walkthrough table
- Subtract that bill and necessary pre-work purchases from your current balance
- Consider only the remainder available for decorations and additional purchases
- If short, defer optional purchases and check recent service mistakes and your save point
This guide does not guarantee a fixed daily income. Different drinks and ratings can change the day's income and expenses.
Limit revealed answers by date
The daily walkthrough is divided by date from December 13 through 31. Other guides may differ by 1 day in their day numbering depending on whether they count the day off.
- Check the in-game date first
- Open only that day's answer
- If the listed order differs from the actual one, check prior alcohol amounts and conditions affecting other visitors
- Compare developments using a separate save without overwriting your current progress
This guide numbers December 13 as Day 1 and includes the closed day. The final date is Day 19.
