About Tavern Master
Tavern Master puts you in charge of a medieval tavern, letting you design, furnish and run the establishment yourself. You start with limited gold, buying tables, benches and barrels, then hire staff to serve the first customers.
As you expand you can add a kitchen, hire chefs, host special events, employ musicians and even build overnight rooms. Every choice—from décor to seating layout—affects how many guests stay, how happy they are, and how much gold you earn.
01 / THE GUIDE
Building and Furniture
The game provides many walls, floors, fences, stairs and furniture pieces to make each tavern unique. Early on you must balance cost with quality, as gold is limited at the start.
Later, as revenue grows, you can upgrade to higher‑quality items and expand the tavern’s footprint. Light sources near tables are important for attracting customers.
- Place light sources close to seating to boost attraction.
- Upgrade furniture gradually to avoid cash flow problems.

Staff Management
Hiring staff is essential; you need employees to serve drinks, clean and later cook food. Keeping employees happy influences their efficiency.
When the tavern gets busy, staff must be able to reach guests quickly. Designing efficient walkways helps prevent angry customers.
- Monitor staff happiness regularly.
- Design clear paths to reduce travel time.
03 / THE GUIDE
Food and Drink Service
Building a kitchen and hiring chefs lets you serve a variety of foods. Sufficient ingredients are required; otherwise customers may leave angry.
Balancing drink stock and food preparation times is key to keeping wait times short and patrons satisfied.
- Keep a buffer of essential ingredients.
- Adjust menu pricing to match ingredient costs.
04 / THE GUIDE
Special Events and Musicians
Holding special events draws guests with specific food and drink needs, extending their stay. Musicians increase patience while customers wait for drinks.
These features add variety to gameplay and can boost revenue when timed well.
- Schedule events during slower periods to increase traffic.
- Hire musicians when wait times are long.
05 / THE GUIDE
Overnight Rooms

Decide between larger rooms with many beds or smaller, high‑quality rooms that charge more per guest.
- Mix room sizes to appeal to different budgets.
- Upgrade room décor to increase star rating.
