Eachequipment item is unlocked at a certain level. Most drink machines, display cases, dispensers and special items must be placed on stands; topping containers on shelves; refrigerators and freezers on the floor.
Starting at Level 7, you can buy stylish versions of equipment matching the dominant style of your caf from the Bank. Basic stylish items cost coins. Drink machines also come in special stylish versions and allow you to save time by brewing 2-3 cups at once, although these versions cost diamonds. Topping containers and special items do not have stylish versions.You can buy stylish equipment outright even if you don't have the simple version. Both simple and stylish versions of the same equipment can be placed in your caf. You can also have different styles of the same equipment (e.g., a French style Tea Machine and English style Tea Machine).
The stylish prices listed below are initial prices. The Bank always offers these items at discounted prices for 24 hours. Everyday discounts vary from 5-40%, with occasional 70% discounts available for a limited time.
Starting at Level 8, items are available to buy in two versions: full price and installment versions. Installments are initially cheaper but must be upgraded to access all of the equipment's recipes. Installments are ultimately equal in price to full price versions once they are fully upgraded to 3 stars, although some may end up costing you more than the full price versions in the long run. Special items do not have installment versions.
Tip: Because orders may require recipes only available at 3-star upgrades, it is recommended you save up enough money to buy the next level's equipment before you level up to avoid not having access to all of the equipment's recipes.
As of the 2022101.4.252 update, which happened Fall 2022, installment versions are no longer available in the store. Prices of machines have also decreased for many of the machines and are being updated as the information comes.

The Cafe has been part of the Washiez game since the beginning and has received several revamps. In older versions of the game, the Cafe was less organised and did not have a drive-thru. The Cafe was typically almost never used and offered no skill/coins as a reward for completing orders.

After being purchased, the player must return to their town and place the equipment onto counters in their cafe (excluding the three ice cream machines, which are placed onto the ground). Most dessert products consist of two pieces of equipment - a production machine, and a display - and both must be placed for the product to be created.
Drink equipment can be upgraded using upgrade items. Tier 2 "Upgraded" version upgrade items are obtained by completing tasks to serve 100 of the related drink. Tier 3 "Prestige" upgrade items are obtained by purchasing them through the shop with diamonds. A tier 1 machine can be upgraded directly to a tier 3 machine.
We do a fair amount of entertaining so I like to have good repertoire of tried and true recipes to use. I have found that doing a test batch of any appetizer I might want to use later. This gives me time to work out any problems and do any necessary tweaking before serving the final version to our guests. A couple of night's ago I decided to start tweaking a appetizer for entertaining.
Puff pastry is an ideal dough for making appetizers because there is just so much you can do with it. Puff pastry is one of the few pastries I buy in the frozen food section of the grocery store. In all honesty buying puff pastry and phyllo dough ends up being more frugal than homemade. I got the idea of the cheddar and bacon coins from the inside of the puff pastry box but immediately started tweaking from there.
The filling I used was on the savory side much like the original recipe called for. The end result was quite tasty but a bit too large and heavy for a good entertaining appetizer although there is still a lot of room for tweaking. As a snack this appetizer is just the prefect size. I think adding chopped green onions would be nice so will try that the next time.
Method: Thaw and unroll 1 sheet of puff pastry. Sprinkle with bacon bits and shredded cheddar cheese. Roll up jelly roll fashion. Place in freezer for 15 minutes. Remove from freezer and cut into half inch pieces. Bake at 190C (375F) until golden brown.
The gameplay is how the genre is described: a business simulation. In the 5th anniversary video, it shows the whole scene in general. There are "Shop Assistants" who can interact with various components of the scene, such as a sink, a service table and a cooker (called "The Three Musketeers"). They have various statistics, so they can be better at one thing over another. Choosing to cook will also allow the player to select various dishes. Once cooked, the assistant can automatically take it to a customer. When that customer finished eating, an assistant can take the plate to a sink, which the player can then command an assistant to clean the dishes. JynX also aims to have the game run automatically to an extent when the game is closed.[1]
The game also allows customisation to the layout, such as adding table and chairs, changing floor tiles, wall tiles, a new cooker, etc. The more the player plays the game, the bigger it gets. The player will also gain money, EXP, etc. along the way.[1]
As with previous instalments, the game features original tracks composed by JynX. Thus far, the alpha version has 3 themes with beta version adding one additional track that was featured in 7th anniversary video, plus 2 tracks featured only in trailers (in the fifth and sixth series anniversary videos, respectively). The game in its current state doesn't have a Music Room, so the songs do not yet include composer comments and their titles are taken from JynX's various FANBOX articles.
On 21 April 2017, JynX stated that they took an interest in trying to develop a "caf management" game,[4] and thus got themself into studying on how to develop such a system.[5] By doing so, they pointed out that instead of it being a spin-off, it will still have major relevance to the story of the Len'en Project.[6] After some time on 29 April, they (drunkenly) created an animation of Tsubakura that is likely to have relevance to Book of the Cafe.
Eventually, JynX announced the game on their blog on 11 November 2017 as part of the fourth anniversary of Len'en, showing screenshots of the game and talking about various gameplay elements that they plan to implement. The screenshot confirmed Yabusame Houlen, Tsubakura Enraku and Shion's appearances, as well as some furniture implemented. Initially, BotC was planned to release as a beta sometime in 2018.[7] On 9 March 2018, JynX released a video showing a battle stage in the alpha stages of development.[3] The game was still in development as of 9 September 2018.[8]
The game is currently developed for Android, but they might create an iOS version if the game gets enough popularity.[7] They once stated that they wanted to make a game for iOS on 17 August 2015.[9] On 11 November 2018, JynX revealed that they are halfway through development. Because of their inexperience in making games for mobile platforms, they had to work more on optimising memory usage, app size, etc. to make it run efficiently. Due to the amount of work to do, the intended beta release was pushed back indefinitely. However, they promised to improve the game's quality in the meantime. They also plan on re-working on character art already implemented.[1]
On the Project's 6th anniversary, a trailer of the game was released, showcasing more of the game's mechanics, as well as showing an excerpt of dialogue featuring NiLU and Tom C. Zemlja. From November 2019 onwards, JynX started sharing detailed progress reports on the game on their Pixiv FANBOX. This would continue to be the source of almost all official development documentation through the alpha and beta stages of the game up to this day.
Finally, on 1 April 2020, the alpha version of the game (with only the cafe management part of the game included) was announced to release on April 10. However, it ended up releasing on the 4th, as Google verified the game much faster than JynX anticipated.[10] The release of the iOS version was temporarily postponed until the game's development is further along, and remains indefinitely delayed as of 1 September 2023. JynX also announced a beta version with the combat system, initially expected to have released on 26 March 2021.[11][12] An April Fools video confirmed the release date to be much later. On 30 May 2021, JynX finally confirmed the beta is completed with a few more problems left to fix,[13] and had it published after Google Play verified it on 9 June 2021.[14]
JynX continued to work towards the full version throughout 2022 and published monthly FANBOX pages showing progress. They even announced a release to happen sometime in winter[15] (although they define winter as "when I'm still wearing long sleeves"[16]). Eventually in January 2023, JynX revealed that they are becoming a streamer under the name of Kanae Tabinoki, and worked on the game's development during productive livestreams during weekdays, showing progress and other teasers every now and then. At one point, they even admitted that developing the game was incredibly challenging and much preferred developing Brilliant Pagoda or Haze Castle, and lost motivation numerous times due to constant bugs to fix, difficulties of implementing features and potential lack of profit to be gained.[17] Nonetheless on 1st of April, JynX announced on YouTube that the full release was to be expected in May.[18]
