Time Management Game

Your main goal is to serve the drinks and earn goodwill points (that's what the underground ant café uses instead of money).
The ants will order colourful drinks.
The drinks start off with 1 drop of colour and increase to 3 drops of colour.
The drops come in the 3 primary colours, red, yellow and blue.
Add the correct drops (in any order) to make the drink that the ant has ordered.
Earn goodwill points and exchange them for snacks, entertainers or upgrades in the shop.
When snacks are available, ants will order them.
The entertainer will increase the customers' patience.
Buy more drink stands to increase the amount of glasses waiting to be filled.
Buy more plates - you can place ready-made drinks or snacks on the plates. You can only buy snacks if you have available plates to place them on.
Upgrade the drink dispensers to hold 2 or 3 drops.
Entertainers will work for 1 day in exchange for goodwill points. Their presence will increase the ants' patience.
You can only have 1 entertainer at a time. Select from:
Symphonia Soprano
The Comedy Rock
Treble Tenor
Pan the Flutist
Purchases are made before each level for that level.
You are limited to 2 snacks of each type and you must have purchased a plate for them beforehand. 1 Plate can hold up to 2 snacks of the same kind.
You keep your snacks and entertainer purchases for the next level you successfully complete. If you abandon a level and go play a different one, they will be used up on that different level.
Plates, drink stands and dispenser upgrades will last you throughout the game.
