Your café got 2.3 million views. Now survive the rush.
A latte-art video of a golden retriever named Mocha takes a quiet café from eighteen orders an hour to a hundred and ninety. You have one evening and twelve decisions to find out whether attention is worth anything.
Every number you see is the consequence of a decision you made. The simulation is deterministic — the same choices always produce the same evening, so a result is something you can defend rather than something that happened to you.
Four chapters. Twelve decisions. One evening.
Chapter 1 · The shock
Demand arrives before capacity can
Fourteen menu items, one blender, and an order tablet that keeps saying yes. Decide what the café stops doing.
Chapter 2 · The rush
Price without becoming the villain
Rush costs are real and so are the phones pointed at your price board. Find the number that funds the night and survives it.
Chapter 3 · Payments
A timeout is not a failure
The provider says paid. Your system says failed. Retry badly and you charge someone twice; verify badly and you turn away the good ones.
Chapter 4 · Tomorrow
Commit only what you can undo
The queue is still outside at closing. Sign the bigger lease, buy the machine, or find out what demand is actually worth first.
What you leave with
A Judgment Passport, not a score out of ten.
Five competencies, each earned by a decision you can point at. It records how much help you took, and it is honest about it.
Mocha is curious when you get something wrong, never disappointed. You can rewind any decision and watch the same café make a different evening.
- Growth judgment
- Unit economics
- Operational resilience
- Payments risk
- Capital allocation
For educators and programme leads
Set one evening. Read twelve decisions.
Viral Rush is a deterministic scenario, which makes it markable. Every learner meets the same café, the same twelve checkpoints and the same consequences, and every passport shows which decisions were made unaided. It runs in a browser, needs no install, and degrades to plain HTML on hardware that cannot render the 3D café.
- Same scenario for every learner, replayable from a seed.
- Hints are tiered and recorded, so independence stays visible.
- Keyboard operable, reduced-motion aware, captioned.
