Running your café with Rank

Put a new PlayStation on the floor and give it its hourly and per-game prices.

Put a customer on a PlayStation — single or multi, by time or by match.

Read the bill, apply a discount, record how the customer paid.

Ring up a walk-in customer who is buying a drink but not playing.

Start the drawer at the beginning of the day and count it at the end.

Revenue, busiest machines, and the profit line after expenses.
