Frontier Tavern

Start with a small tavern and turn a day's work into your next improvement. Frontier Tavern is a first-person tavern management simulator for one player. Serve customers, manage supplies and build a team that takes more of the daily workload off your hands as your business grows.

Work your first shifts

Get behind the bar and handle the service yourself. Pour drinks into physical glasses, carry orders to tables and collect payments. Keep an eye on portions and waiting customers: what you serve, how you prepare it and how long it takes all matter to their experience.

Hire staff and automate the routine

Use your progress to unlock hiring, bring in employees and assign their tasks. Delegate parts of the daily operation so you can spend more time managing supplies, improving the layout and planning your next investment. Grow from doing the work yourself to organizing a team, while staying free to lend a hand.

Keep the tavern supplied

Visit the train merchant to buy supplies and equipment, then carry your purchases back to the tavern. Move crates and barrels, organize your stock and prepare for service. Decide how much to spend on the next delivery and how much to save for a new piece of equipment or a larger workspace.

Build a tavern that works for you

Expand your premises and arrange tables, chairs, shelves and service areas. Make room for customers and leave clear routes through the tavern. Invest in furniture and decoration to develop the business and give your establishment its own character in the Old West.

Unlock more with every working day

Begin with water and beer, then earn experience through service and choose upgrades from the progression tree. Unlock drinks such as whisky and coffee, purchase the supplies and equipment they require, and learn their preparation. Reinvest your earnings to broaden the menu, improve the tavern and support a growing team.

Give customers a reason to return

Clear the tables, wash used glasses and clean up spills and litter between orders. A well-kept tavern and attentive service contribute to the customer's experience. Check feedback and your daily balance in the management journal, then decide what to improve before the next opening.
