Shops and Upgrade Guide
What each confirmed shop appears to sell and how to prioritize before full data exists.
Official release date and demo availability: Planned release date: September 15, 2026. Steam currently lists a playable demo.
Confirmed developer, publisher, and platform facts: Developer: Rogue Duck Interactive. Publishers: Rogue Duck Interactive and Gamersky Games. Platforms: Windows, macOS, and Linux.
Public gameplay systems and current evidence boundary: Steam confirms custom drink mixing, ingredients, ice, glassware, decorations, garnishes, secret recipes, no-timer mode, and Happy Hour mode; full recipe formulas are not publicly verified before release.
Quick Answer
Steam lists a liquor store, glassware shop, fruit market, decoration and garnish store, and recipe book merchant. Exact stock, prices, and upgrade values are not public yet.
Confirmed Shop Roles
| Shop | Likely role | Launch confidence |
|---|---|---|
| Liquor Store | Core drink bases | Confirmed shop name |
| Glassware Shop | Glass options | Confirmed shop name |
| Fruit Market | Fruit and prep ingredients | Confirmed shop name |
| Decoration & Garnish Store | Presentation options | Confirmed shop name |
| Recipe Book Merchant | Recipe discovery support | Confirmed shop name |
Conservative Priority
Buy only what solves your current order flow first: base ingredients, then repeat-use presentation items, then recipe discovery tools once the economy is clear.
Practical Next Action
Open the related page from the navigation, keep your own demo notes separate from full-release notes, and return after launch for row-level updates.
What This Page Will Add After Release
Once the release build can be checked, this guide will add exact values only where the source is clear: screenshots, direct gameplay observation, official update notes, or repeatable in-game results.
Player Checklist
- Confirm whether you are using the demo or full release.
- Record the wording you saw in game before acting on a recipe or shop assumption.
- Keep uncertain findings out of your main recipe log until they repeat.
- Prefer confirmed system behavior over copied forum guesses.
Shop Planning Steps
Use the shop list as a preparation map, not as a finished economy guide. Steam references multiple purchasing sources, including liquor, glassware, fruit, garnish, and recipe-book style merchants. Before launch, the useful task is to understand what each shop category probably controls. After launch, each upgrade needs a price, unlock condition, practical effect, and whether it changes recipe discovery, service speed, or customer satisfaction.
Failure Modes
Do not invent upgrade costs or optimal buy orders from screenshots alone. Do not assume the demo economy matches the release build. Do not merge shops together if the final game separates ingredient supply, presentation tools, and recipe information.
FAQ
Which upgrades should I buy first? That is not confirmed before release-build testing.
What can be prepared now? A checklist of shop categories and the evidence needed for each row.
When will exact prices appear? After the full release can be played and checked.
Verification Notes
This page separates three kinds of information: confirmed public facts, demo observations, and release-build findings that still need checking. Confirmed public facts can be used immediately when planning whether to wishlist, download the demo, or prepare a notes template. Demo observations are useful for practice, but they should be retested because balance, unlocks, and recipe requirements can change. Release-build findings need a reproducible path before they become guide data.
When checking this topic yourself, keep a short note with the date, the build or store state, and the exact wording you saw. For recipe-adjacent information, include the customer request, ingredients selected, glass or garnish choices, and the accepted result. For shop-adjacent information, include the item name, cost, unlock timing, and effect. For mode or timing information, include the trigger condition, timer behavior, reward, and what happens on failure.
Update Policy
After the planned 15 September 2026 release, this page should be updated only from direct gameplay, official patch notes, Steam news, or clearly reproducible community reports. If two sources disagree, the page should preserve the conflict instead of silently choosing the more convenient answer. Rows that cannot be reproduced should stay in a testing section until another source confirms them.
Practical Use
For now, use the page as a launch notebook. It tells you what is known, what to test first, and what not to trust yet. That makes it useful before the full data exists: you can enter launch day with categories ready, then fill in exact values without mixing guesses into confirmed advice.
