Game Description So you want to get rich? Selling lemonade is a simple business indeed, but if you really want to succeed, you'll need skills, judgment, instinct and a little bit of luck.In Lemonade Tycoon, you get to control every aspect of your lemonade business in an attempt to earn the most profit out of every work day. Weather and Temperature Keep a close eye on weather and temperature. This will help you estimate how many potential customers you should meet and decide on an appropriate recipe and price. Keep in mind that what you see every morning is a forecast, and as such, it may differ from the weather and temperature you'll experience during the day.

Tweaking your Recipe Try different combinations and see what works best. Remember to keep a good balance between lemon and sugar: you don't want your lemonade to be too sweet or too sour. It's good to add ice cubes when the temperature is higher: it keeps the lemonade cool, plus it allows you to serve more cups per pitcher. Buying Supplies Buy all you need to last for a day, at least. You don't want to run out of stock in the middle of a promising day. But remember that after a certain time, you'll lose some of your inventory (ice melts, lemons spoil), so you can't keep too much of everything either. Selecting a Location You'll start in the suburbs, a free location. Learn the ins and outs of the business, then switch to a more crowded area. Note that popularity and satisfaction ratings are different for every location. Customer type concentrations will also vary in the different parts of town. Advertising Your Product Whenever you need a visibility boost, invest a few dollars in advertising. It can be especially helpful when starting in a new location, when your popularity is low. Setting Your Price Take all parameters into account and set an appropriate price for the day. Watch out for customer types: they all have different sensitivity to price. Try changing your price often and see what works best in what situation. This is how you'll really make the big bucks Upgrading Your Stand When you start making some good money, check out the various upgrades you can buy for your stand. They'll help you keep your process efficient as you serve more and more customers.
News Flash Watch out for news flashes. They give you hints on events happening in the various parts of town that can dramatically change the outcome of the day. During the day Tap customer reaction bubbles with the stylus to get hints on what they like/don't like about your product. The status windows located in the bottom left and right corners of your screen will display different information when tapped with the stylus. Customer Support Before you call for technical support.

Lemonade Tycoon Hints (PC)
Recipe, prices and easy money hints
Lemonade Tycoon, first released as Lemonade Inc., is a Shockwave-based game first released by Hexacto on 13 September 2003. A free, limited version is available for online play at many sites or the full version with no time restrictions can be purchased online. The goal of Lemonade Tycoon is to sell lemonade for profit. While selling lemonade, players must manage many aspects of their business. Players decide on a recipe, set prices, and sell lemonade in a variety of locations. The game includes changing weather and news, which the player must compensate for. To overcome some factors, such as long lines and stock, players can buy upgrades. (Wikipedia)GAMEPLAY HINTSRecommended recipe and prices1. On warm days, the correct lemonade recipe is 8 lemons, 4 cups of sugar, and 3 ice cubes. When it gets cooler, remove some ice cubes from the recipe. When it gets as cold as 10 to 20C, lower the price to at least $0.50. Only buy the ice in the amounts that you need, as it is only good for a day. For the other supplies, always buy in bulk when you are low on them. This will help you in the long run.Invest about $3.00 per day on advertisements; people will visit your stand, but the lines will not get so long that customers will leave. To move up to the next level of rent, adding a 0 to the daily rent. That will tell you when it is appropriate to move up. Buying new accessories is very helpful, but some are very expensive and are not worth your money.2. A good way to get money is as follows: 6 lemons, 3 cups of sugar, 4 ice cubes, price $1.80. This is good for either the train station or the downtown area, and is always liked by the customers.3. Also try the following recipe: 6 lemons, 3 cups of sugar, 4 ice cubes, price $1.50. This is good for the stadium. It is possible to generate 900 customers per day and make $1,200.Easy money1. To get easy money, start the day and press "Skip". Please note: The outcome is random and you will still need supplies. 2. To make money easily, use absolutely nothing in your recipe (0 lemons, 0 sugar, 0 ice). However, you will still need to buy cups. It is also recommended that you do not rent anything. Stay in the suburbs. Also, if you want to advertise, you should probably do it for $1.00 to $3.00 per day. Whether you advertise or not does not really make a difference. If you want to upgrade, the only things that are worth it are the freezer and the cash register.
