Food Girls - Playthrough Part 1

Started playing Food Girls - a management simulator where you play as a consultant trying to save a dying market by giving advice to the various food places in there. It turns out that the quality of the food is quite good, but the personal quirks of the owners is what prevents success. Aurora is the best of the bunch since she is just clumsy and has a limited menu, Lulu is a lazy gamer and her restaurant is a mess and Bubbles is a cunt, who treats customers poorly and overspends on ingredients. The capitalist in me screams that at least the last pair should fail, but since I'm hired to help I'll do my job. It is later revealed that the mafia wants the market shut down for some reason.

The gameplay is pretty limited - you have 4 bars of energy, which you could spend improving the quality or the popularity of the various shops or talking to one of the girls. The latter improves your relationship with her and can lead to special events. There's also research and investigation, but I haven't used those yet. You have to pay 50 000 rent at the end of each month, so you have to generate that profit. Bubbles' restaurant is the only one that constantly loses money, which makes me dislike her even more. You can also buy equipment and make small decisions on a day to day basis, which can improve the overall situation.
