Theater Management Game Development.

This is a person who works part-time at a movie theater, for example at the ticket counter, the snack bar, or cleaning the screening rooms. The salary is not very high, but it is crucial to be able to pay rent and monthly expenses.
The job can be tiring and sometimes stressful, especially during busy evenings or weekends with large audiences. However, there are also quieter moments between screenings that allow time to breathe and organize tasks.
The employee must handle customers, ensure that theaters remain clean and functional, and occasionally assist coworkers during peak hours. Despite financial stress and irregular working hours, this job provides stability and a concrete way to remain independent.
The main objective is simple: earn enough to pay rent, cover daily needs, and avoid financial problems, while trying to maintain a balance between work, studies, or other personal activities.

Commuting Phase (Home → Work)
The character travels from home to the cinema using different transportation options:
Bus: 3 seconds ($1.5 cost)


Bike / Skateboard: 30 seconds (free)


There is a 15% chance that the bus is delayed by 30 seconds, and the player is not informed in advance.

Arrival & Transition
Once at the cinema, the character changes into their employee uniform.
The color of the uniform depends on the specific cinema location.
Transition time: 1 second.

On-Site Tasks
The character may be assigned different roles depending on hierarchy decisions 33% each :
Cleaning (toilett, floor, rooms)
I’d like the theater to have a section listing all the movies and their showtimes, including the ending times.That way, the player will know when to head to the theater room to clean.

There is also a stock refill mechanic, including restocking drinks, popcorn, candy, etc.

Accept card payments

The mechanic should feel interactive and skill-based (similar in style to the reference you provided), where precision.

Progression Loop
The better you perform your tasks, the more customers the cinema attracts.


You earn experience points (XP) to level up and gain promotions.


Higher rank and better income unlock new opportunities.


Eventually, if you earn enough money and rise in rank, you can open your own cinema.



I’d like the game to have a screen where there is all you have to pay like :
Phone
Rent
Food
