Hello everyone :) New update is finally ready! As you might have seen in the last post, biggest new things are weather system and takeout. Below you can read in more details what has been added :)
First thing is the introduction of weather. There will be 6 weather conditions: sunny, partly cloudy, cloudy, light rain, heavy rain and thunderstorm. Depending on the weather you will get a bonus or a penalty to the number of customers that you get daily. This also includes very beautiful clouds and sky (no longer single color like before). Besides that I wanted to go even deeper with this mechanic and I made tables and seats which are outside not usable during rain, some light sources also don't work (since candles and torches can't burn in the rain of course), but when it's sunny or cloudy weather you get a bonus for every seat outside, since some people prefer having an option to sit in fresh air :)
It was a real challenge implementing rain since Tavern Master doesn't have a system for creating roofs and you obviously don't want to see it raining inside the tavern, but I managed to do it after some prototyping, I hope you will like the result :)
Second big new thing is the introduction of takeout! You can now build a counter where guests can come and order food which will then be prepared and packed for them to carry somewhere else to eat :) If you decide to include takeout counter in your tavern, you should think about increasing the size of your kitchen since it will increase the number of food orders significantly.
Takeout counter works well with a new decoration - small roof (awning). Let me know if you like it!
I have also read all your feedback and suggestion and I added 3 more smaller changes:
- Waitresses will have higher priority to choose a path which is around tables and benches, not between
- Fires spread a bit more slowly
- When fire is extinguished you will get a popup to re-buy all burnt items instantly
Make sure to write in comments what would you like to see next in the game! I'm not responding to everyone but I'm reading all the comments regularly :)

Design and build your own medieval tavern!
Tavern Master is a medieval tavern management game where you are in charge of building, maintaining and running your very own cozy tavern!
Buy tables and benches, fill barrels with drinks, hire staff and you are ready to serve your first customers. Make sure your employees are happy, there are enough drinks and seats for guests and soon you will be able to expand your business in various ways.
- Build a kitchen and hire chefs to start serving food of all kinds. Make sure that there are enough ingredients or your customers might leave angry
- Hold special events to attract special customers who have very specific food and drink requirements. They will come in the morning and stay all day
- Hire musicians to attract more people to your tavern and make customers have more patience while waiting for a drink
Build your dream tavern
You will have many tools at your disposal that will help you create a perfect tavern. There are many different walls, floors, fences, stairs and furniture that will make every tavern unique. At the beginning there will not be enough gold to buy the best quality furniture but as your business grows so will the tavern! As a cherry on top, make sure to think of an amazing name for it!
Optimize the workflow
In order to attract customers you will need to have enough seats and tables with a light source close by. The surrounding area also needs to look beautiful and decorations will help with that. At one point there will be a lot of guests coming in and it is important that your staff can serve everyone before they leave angry from waiting too long. In order to do that you will have to design the space so there is an efficient way for your employees to walk in an optimized route.
Create rooms for overnight stay
Some of the guests will want to spend the night so it’s a great thing that you can create rooms with beds in your tavern! Every room will be rated with stars from 1 to 5 which will determine how much money you can earn from the guests. It’s your choice if you want to create big rooms with 5 beds or smaller rooms with expensive furniture that would make guests spend more money.
Many ways to play
There are many different possibilities in Tavern Master and there is no single best way to play. You can spend your time decorating the tavern and making it look cozy and beautiful, you can work towards maximizing revenue by adjusting seating arrangement, prices and salaries for the staff or figure out a completely new way like building only bedrooms instead of having the bar and the kitchen.
