Evaluation

Cafe Business Manager is a Steam Early Access game that launched on April 10, 2026. The developer, Caos Interactive, has maintained a very active update cadence since launch, releasing patches roughly every 1–3 weeks. Since the previous evaluation in mid-June 2026, the game has received several more updates: v0.6.9 (July 5, 2026) added new coffee drinks, sauces, and build mode items alongside major bug fixes; v0.6.10 (July 7, 2026) was a stability hotfix; and v0.6.11 (August 1, 2026) introduced a full ice cream system with 10 flavors, a notebook order management system, and expanded building options. The game is explicitly marked as Early Access on Steam, signaling it remains an unfinished product. No 1.0 release date has been announced, and the developer has not indicated that a content conclusion is approaching. Development is clearly ongoing and active.
Evidence
v0.6.11 added a full ice cream system with 10 flavors, a notebook order management system, expanded building tiles, and new milestones — the most recent major content update.
