Start with the confirmed business premise
The official description says you start humbly with a noodle stand and can grow into restaurants and nightclubs. It also allows you to focus on relationships and city life. A business-first opening is one possible playstyle, not a requirement to ignore the rest of the game.
Use ten hours as a planning window
This is an editorial checklist for your opening sessions, not a tested speedrun or an hour-by-hour unlock guarantee. Finish the introduction, observe one business cycle, repeat it, then compare the choices your save actually offers. Exact job names, mandatory rent, food costs and unlock hours are not verified here.
Build a small cash ledger
Record the cash shown before and after a session and each purchase made in between. Keep one-off setup costs separate from repeatable ingredient costs. If the game shows sales or revenue separately, compare those figures with cash movement before assuming a business is profitable.
Decide whether to expand or decorate
If a new business commitment leaves too little money for the supplies you know you need, postpone it. If decorating is the reason you play, set aside a fixed amount you are comfortable spending on appearance. Neither choice requires an invented universal best build.
Review after your first sessions
Look for the activity you enjoyed and could afford to repeat. Continue to the restaurant guide for ingredients and expansion decisions, or the apartment guide for checking a decoration before purchasing it.
Action checklist
Complete the in-game introduction before following an outside expansion route.
For one business session, record opening cash, all purchases, sales and closing cash.
Repeat the same activity once before judging whether the income is reliable.
Choose one next goal: business growth, meeting residents, or decorating your home.
Read the restaurant guide before expanding; read the apartment guide before buying decorations.

FAQ
What is the best early money route?
No measured best-profit route is verified here. Steam confirms a starting noodle business; use a repeatable session and a cash ledger to compare your current options.
Do I have to expand within ten hours?
No. Ten hours is a planning window for this guide, not an official deadline or unlock condition.
Should I decorate before buying another business?
Choose according to your goal and available cash. Keep optional decoration spending separate from the supplies and purchases you already need.
