Emma's Cafe Map & Zone Guide

Knowing the layout cuts travel time and keeps your CCTV watcher in position. Alpha updates can move props — re-walk the cafe after each bi-weekly patch.

🍳

Kitchen

Stove, coffee machine, ingredient shelves, and prep counters. Cooks stay here during rush. Ingredients cannot be grabbed through walls (fixed v1.4).

Tip: Memorise ingredient locations on Day 1 — searching mid-shift during an anomaly spawn is dangerous.

🪑

Dining Area

Customer tables and order pickup points. Servers deliver here after CCTV clearance. Tables need cleaning between customers.

Tip: Run a loop: kitchen → cam check → table → kitchen. Never skip the cam check step.

📹

CCTV Room

Camera terminal with multiple views. Critical from Day 3 when Eye Ghost only appears on camera. Prompt available from Day 1 since v1.3 hotfix.

Tip: Assign one dedicated watcher. If Camera Looking anomaly appears (Day 7+), close the feed immediately.

📋

Order Board

Active orders and built-in recipe hints. Navigation was fixed in v1.3 — use it when learning drinks.

Tip: New players: screenshot or memorise the top 5 most-ordered drinks before Day 3.

📦

Storage & Back Room

Additional ingredient storage and utility areas. Less traffic but important during kitchen events.

Tip: Maintenance role handles fuse box and power breaker — usually near back-of-house utilities.

🚪

Lobby / Shift Start

Where shifts begin. Bonny dialogue can be skipped from Day 3 if you have reached Day 3 before (v1.4). Quick Play finds public lobbies.

Tip: Assign roles in lobby before the shift timer starts — not after the first customer arrives.

Efficient Runner Path

  1. Check Order Board for pending orders
  2. Collect prepared items from kitchen pass-through
  3. Stop at CCTV — verify customer is clear
  4. Deliver to table if cleared; reject and call out if anomaly
  5. Clean table on return trip
  6. Repeat — never reverse steps 3 and 4

After Each Update

Alpha patches often change prop placement, lighting, and customer flow. After every update, run one Day 1 shift to rebuild your mental map. Check our patch notes for what changed.
