Manual blend
Load one or more flavors into the blender and click to blend. A blend takes 7.5 s by default, and each completed blend pays out money + XP immediately. Manual blends carry a small bonus over automated ones.
Blending & special outcomes
Blending is the heart of the game. Here's the full loop — manual and automatic — plus the special outcomes that stack, blend speed, and how each shake's value is calculated.
How blending works
Auto Blend
Flip on Auto Blend with the button in the top-left corner to keep blending hands-free. Speed upgrades apply to both auto and manual blending, so it scales right alongside you.
Multiple blenders
You start with one blender. The Extra Blender special upgrade adds up to 3 more (4 total), each producing a shake per cycle for parallel output.
Passive income
Employees and locations earn money every second on top of blending. Turn on the $/s readout in Settings to track your rate — it's the single best number to optimize.
Special outcomes
Every blend can randomly come out "special" for a bonus — and outcomes stack on a single shake.
| Outcome | Approx. chance | Bonus |
|---|---|---|
| Crusty | ~10% | +$10 |
| Baked | ~5% | +$25 |
| Swirled | ~1% | +$100 |
| Golden | ~0.1% | +$1,000 |
On top of those, blends can also roll quality, texture, and presentation results — Fan Favorite, Creamy, and Decorated. These feed your customer rating and stats rather than a fixed cash bonus.
Because outcomes stack independently, the jackpot shake is a Fan Favorite Creamy Crusty Baked Swirled Golden Decorated Blend — astronomically rare, and a badge of honor.

Bigger payouts
Portion Size and Yield Boost research raise the money per blend, while Double Shot doubles manual-blend income outright. Pair speed and yield for the best clicks-per-dollar.
How income is calculated
Each shake's value is a base amount scaled by a stack of multipliers. The global multiplier is the big lever.
The global multiplier
Multiplies all income. It combines:
- Countries — product of all unlocked country multipliers (with diminishing returns).
- Active flavors — the sum of your loaded flavors' multipliers.
- Flavor combos — flat bonuses when the right flavors are active together.
- Recipe Development, ingredient quality, storefront appeal, social-media buzz, and master-mixologist upgrades.
Manual vs. passive
Manual blends multiply the base shake value, your active flavors, portion size, and the global multiplier. Passive income sums your shops + locations, applies marketing/training/management upgrades, then the global multiplier — with a small automation factor so a hand-pulled shake is always worth a touch more.
Most upgrades feed one of these multipliers. When deciding what to buy, ask which term it boosts and how much — a flat global multiplier upgrade often beats a niche one. See Tips & strategy.
