Chai Tycoon

Start with a single roadside chai stall and grow it into a street-food empire. Tap the steaming cup to brew chai and earn rupees, then spend them on more stalls.

How it works

• Shops: each shop (chai, samosa, vada pav, jalebi, dosa, biryani…) earns money every time its progress bar fills. Tap a shop's bar to start a batch. Buy more staff to raise its earnings; the ×1 / ×10 / ×100 / Max toggle sets how many you buy at once.
• Milestones: at 25, 50, 100, 200, 300, 400 and 500 staff a shop works twice as fast.
• Managers run a shop automatically — and keep it earning while you are away. When you come back you collect your offline earnings (up to 24 hours).
• Upgrades multiply the profit of one shop, every shop, or your taps.
• Franchise: once your lifetime earnings are large enough you can reset your shops to collect golden tea leaves. Every leaf adds +2% to all profits forever.

Controls

Tap or click the cup (or press Space) to brew. Keys 1–9 start a shop's batch. The game saves itself every few seconds.

Tips

Early on, keep tapping and buy chai stalls; hire the chai manager as soon as you can. Cheap shops reaching a milestone are often the best value.
