DQ Tycoon

Emily is the newest employee at a unprofitable Dairy Queen at the edge of town during a record heat wave. Help her turn the store around, and become manager.

DQ Tycoon is a time management game. Customers will line up at the cash registers, and give their orders. Gather the various items they want, bearing in mind that some items take longer than others to make, then get them to the customer. Once Emily reaches manager level, employees can be hired. They will help carry some of the load, and are indispensable once you are managing more than one store.

The levels are divided into weeks, and each week has a profit goal. Previous days can be replayed for a better profit to help in reaching that goal, and the various stores can be upgraded with more machines to allow for more customers and better profits. Each day you choose which employees work where; some employees are faster than others, and some stores will be busier than others. There are 35 levels in all, with more varieties of food and more customers in the later levels, and mini-games at the end of each week.
