Cafe barista

Duckhaven career · The Quack Cafe

Cafe baristas make drinks to order at The Quack Cafe: pick the base, milk and flavour, brew to the green window and serve the right customer. Supplies and remakes are free.

Getting started

Start Barista and go to The Quack Cafe. Everything you need is supplied.

How the work goes

  1. Read the customer’s ticket.
  2. Choose its base, milk and flavour.
  3. Start brewing and finish when the indicator reaches the green ready window.
  4. Serve the named customer.
  5. Rinse the equipment before accepting the next order.

Wrong choices can be fixed through the remake flow.

Progression

Level Drink
1 Americano, latte
3 Vanilla cocoa
5 Vanilla oat latte
10 Tea latte
15 Caramel latte

Drinks brew for 5 to 8 seconds. The three seconds after the target are the quality window. Leave a drink too long and it needs a remake.

Pay and XP

A paid drink gives career XP and 20 base Cooking XP. Accuracy and brew quality add up to $2 before the career bonus. Strength does not affect this job.

Common problems

  • Match the whole ticket, including “No milk” and “Plain”.
  • Serve the customer named on the ticket.
  • Rinsing resets for the next order. It does not pay again.

Modeled earnings

Scenario: A six-ticket sample of the unlocked drinks, made cleanly with perfect brews and a rinse between tickets.

These are calculations from the R51 — Timber in Motion source, not measured play. Each figure repeats one clean cycle with the equipment above already owned, then scales it to an hour. Seller VAT and recurring ingredients or seeds are taken off. Income tax, club tithes, debt repayment, fuel, repairs, gear purchases and breaks for needs are not, and neither are travel delays, mistakes or other players. Treat them as a comparison between levels, not a promise of what an hour of play pays. Strength does not shorten any part of this job, so it does not change the rate.
