🤑 Money has finally entered the fryer! In this 30-second sprint from Fries Restaurant Simulator – Devlog 5, I show the exact moment my indie restaurant sim stops being a charity and starts paying out cash. From first line of code to on-screen ka-ching, here’s how the new order-to-cash loop works: ⸻ What you’ll see in this Short 1. Order Check – Drop a plate on the table → script confirms ✅ correct or ❌ wrong order in the debug log. 2. Minimal Money UI – A clean white cash box (temporary art) keeps your eyes on the fries, not the HUD. 3. Dynamic Payout – Serve the right meal → earn the exact price of that order. No tips yet, sorry. 4. Next Up – Animated customers are on the way! Tap the linked video at the bottom to watch the full Devlog where they finally walk in. ⸻ Why it matters Adding a working money system is the backbone of any tycoon, builder, or restaurant sim. Now every potato you yeet across the counter actually counts toward upgrades, décor, and unlocking new fry-flinging chaos.
