Peek the Burger Inventory Section 🛒
Hello, 👋
Glad to have you here for our latest round-up. We’ve been spending a tremendous amount of time just debugging the financials section. 😭 But we managed to still get some work done on the Inventory section for Burgers. There’s an Inventory section for drinks, and you’d get to see that soon.
The Burger Inventory section is where you manage all the stock you need for your burgers – Buns, Patties, Tomatoes, Lettuce, Cheese, and Sauces.
Here’s an overview of how it works:
Stock (Total) – Helps you track how much of each ingredient you have left in stock and your new total (in brackets) after you make an order.
Next Day’s Purchase Order – Where you order how much of each ingredient you need for the next business day.
Burger Counter – Shows the number of burgers you can make with your current ingredient inventory size.
Side Note: Whenever an ingredient is not enough for the number of buns you are ordering, the stock total stays red. It turns green when it’s enough.
Daily Cost and Excess Loss – Daily cost is the amount your next day’s order costs. Excess loss is the cost of all wasted ingredients. Ingredients get wasted when you order after your storage is full.
Storage Capacity – The brown bar represents how much storage your total stock has used up and how much is left.
In our next round-up, we’d share a little bit more about the challenges we are facing in developing this section. We’d also show you a special auto stocking function we are working on. It automates the order selection for each ingredient, so you don’t have to do it manually.
That’s it for today. Cheers🥂.

Update: Food Truck Financial Reports in Single and Multiplayer
Welcome to our very first progress update of the year! We are glad to be back at it and excited to show you what we’ve been doing. We started implementing the food truck financial reports section. Have a look.
Financial Reports 📃
The financials section serves as your automated accounting system. It comes fitted with the main financial components of a real-world business to help you stay on top of your business. 🧐
The design for the date navigation system is still in progress, so keep your eyes on every other thing and pretend the odd looking, dark blue buttons don’t exist for now. 😁
Single-player 🎲
Tracking income, expenses, profit, and other line items over specified periods in single player is a breeze with the system.
Multiplayer 🎲🎲
After successfully deploying it for single-player in December, we resumed the year by integrating the financial system into multiplayer and fixing all the inevitable accounting bugs.
During the integration, amongst other things, we ensured that:
- All the correct financial models are updated during the business day so that accounting always tallies whenever you check it.
- All data values relating to your business’s financial history (Today, Year-to-date, Lifetime, etc.) get updated with each sale.
- The system updates the Day, Month, and Year financial views with each sale.
Performance Testing 🥊🌟
With that done, we proceeded to test data performance across many days to ensure optimum speed for generating financial reports under different conditions.
1,000 days: 6 stands test.
Result: The speed is great. 😎 There are no noticeable delays in report generation after interaction with the date navigation system.
We wanted to push the system to the limits and see if everything still works with days of more than 27 years and a data history of 10 stands.
Result: We could make the speed a little better. 🤔The interaction with the date navigation system felt a little bit slower but generally, it’s not bad for data of such size (80 Mb).
That’s it for this update, folks! To get these updates delivered to you first, directly to your inbox, please join our community. We’ve got other exclusive perks waiting for you.
The entire team and I wish you an extremely productive 2022. We certainly look forward to a fantastic time together this year.
Live Long and Prosper 👋,
Team Visionaries.

Financial Reports in Multiplayer 📄
Hello,
It’s so great to catch up with you this new year. Most of the team took time off during the Christmas and New Year celebrations to unwind, and now we are back at it in full swing.
We resumed integrating the financial system into multiplayer and fixing the inevitable accounting bugs. You may recall we had successfully deployed the system for single-player in December.
During the integration, amongst other things, we ensured that:
- All the correct financial models are updated during the business day so that your accounting always tallies whenever you check it.
- All data values relating to your business’s financial history (Today, Year-to-date, Lifetime, etc.) get updated with each sale.
- The Day, Month, and Year financial views are also updated with each sale.
With that done, we started implementing a special popup to highlight some of the more critical notifications in your business. We noticed you might miss them because we placed them at the bottom of the screen in the environment.
We’re now about 64% done with the new popup’s design and implementation, and we can’t wait to show you how it looks in our following email.
The entire team and I wish you an extremely productive 2022, and we certainly look forward to a fantastic time together this year.
That’s it for now. Cheers🥂.
