About Cat Cafe Manager
In Cat Cafe Manager you inherit a dilapidated café in the sleepy village of Caterwaul Way. By repairing the building, hiring staff, and crafting a menu, you create a welcoming spot for both townsfolk and the many stray cats that wander the streets.
The game emphasizes relationships: befriending villagers such as Finley the musician and caring for unique cats. These bonds unlock clues about the village’s mysterious history and the ancient shrine hidden in the nearby forest.
01 / THE GUIDE
Renovating the Café
When you arrive the café is described as run‑down and abandoned, but the description notes that a little elbow grease and money can fix it. This establishes a clear need to allocate funds toward structural repairs before other upgrades.
Repairing the building opens space for later decoration and expansion, allowing you to add rooms and features that attract more customers and cats. The renovation stage therefore sets the foundation for all subsequent development.
- Allocate enough money for structural repairs early to unlock later decorative options.
- Balance renovation spending with the need to hire staff later.
02 / THE GUIDE
Hiring and Managing Staff
The description states you can build a capable team by hiring the right people, managing their workload, and helping them refine their skills. This indicates that staff members can improve over time through your oversight.
Effective staff management contributes to smoother service, which keeps both human patrons and feline guests satisfied. The game therefore links employee performance directly to overall café success.
- Match staff strengths to the tasks you need most.
- Watch workload levels to avoid over‑working employees.
03 / THE GUIDE
Befriending the Cats
Caterwaul Way is home to many extraordinary felines. By looking after stray cats you can befriend them, and eventually adopt them into the café, as the description explicitly notes.
Each cat is unique and will make your café a little different, influencing the atmosphere and helping unlock clues about the village’s secrets.
- Spend time with each cat to discover its unique traits.
- Adopt cats gradually to keep the café environment balanced.
