About Food Empire: Shop Tycoon
Food Empire is an idle tycoon where your business is somewhere you stand. Drag anywhere on screen to walk. Stand by a tree to pick lemons, carry them to the juicer, stock the stand and collect the cash your customers leave behind.
TWENTY STAGES, FIVE ERAS
The lemonade stand and the Hot Dog Plaza are the first two. After them: Burger Boulevard, Coffee Corner, Bakery Street, Pizza Square, Ice Cream Park, Taco Market, Donut District, Fried Chicken Yard, Sushi Harbor, Smoothie Gardens, BBQ Ranch, Seafood Pier, Steakhouse Avenue, Gourmet Food Hall, the Luxury Restaurant Quarter, the Grand Food Resort, Food Empire City and the Food Empire Grand Estate. Each one is its own site with its own building, its own product and its own crew, and you drive out to it once you have earned it.
HIRE A TEAM THAT KEEPS WORKING
Suppliers fetch, cooks make, runners carry, cashiers serve, managers keep it all moving. Once a stage is staffed it keeps selling while the app is closed, and your takings are waiting when you come back.
UPGRADE RIGHT WHERE IT HAPPENS
Every upgrade is a pad in the world, right where the upgrade will appear. Step onto it and tap UPGRADE: a bigger grill, faster shoes, another orchard plot, more stock on the shelf, one more pair of hands.
DRESS THE PART
Your chef changes as the empire does. Six looks, from street casual to the Tycoon's midnight-navy pinstripe, each one earned by reaching a new era and yours to wear whenever you like.
GOALS EVERY DAY
Daily rewards, daily challenges, achievements and titles to earn. Watch your Empire Level climb on the dashboard.
BACK UP YOUR EMPIRE
Sign in with Google, if you like, and a copy of your empire is kept in your account. Get a new phone and carry on where you left off. Signing in is optional, and the whole game plays without it.
PLAY YOUR WAY
Light and dark themes, adjustable sound and music, haptics, a pinch that sets how much of your district you see at once and stays where you put it, and a smooth high-refresh mode on phones that support it.
FREE TO PLAY
Food Empire is free and supported by ads. There are no banners and nothing plays while you're running your empire. Rewarded ads are always optional: watch one for a bonus if you want it, and skip it if you don't. The only ad you don't choose is a single full-screen break on your way back to the home screen, and a one-time purchase removes it for good.
Played the old Food Empire? The game has been rebuilt from the ground up, so old progress can't carry over. As a thank-you, players who had the previous version get the Founding Chef title and starter cash.
DEVICE REQUIREMENTS
Android 7.0 or newer. At least 4 GB of RAM (6 GB or more is comfortable)
and about 400 MB of free space. Portrait phones. Plays offline — a
connection is only used for ads and, if you sign in with Google, to back up
your empire.
