BENCH NOTE
The short answer
Start with customer jobs, inspect before buying parts, collect cash into the register, and end the day by using the bike when you are ready to save and advance time.
VERIFIED WORKFLOW
Do this in order
- 01
Open with customer work
Walk-in and email jobs teach the repair loop while giving you a known payout.
- 02
Keep a bill reserve
Do not treat the entire balance as upgrade money. Internet, electricity, and security bills recur.
- 03
Buy licenses from demand
A license unlocks eligible jobs, but its price is sunk before the first repair. Buy for visible order demand, not collection value.
- 04
Upgrade bottlenecks
Cleaning and screwdriver upgrades save repeated labor. Cosmetic purchases can wait until cash flow is stable.
- 05
Close deliberately
The wall lever controls whether visitors and deliveries arrive. The bike ends the day and saves progress.
The early-game rule
Cash on hand is not profit. Replacement parts, licenses, and weekly bills compete for the same yen, so keep the next obligation covered before buying convenience upgrades.
A low-risk daily loop
- Check email and the counter before buying anything.
- Finish the clearest paid job first.
- Collect banknotes into the register.
- Order only the broken parts you confirmed.
- Close the shop if you need uninterrupted bench time.
LIGHT SPOILERStory-safe progression noteReveal +
Some licenses, customer relationships, and competitions open through progress. The guide does not recommend a dialogue route because public sources do not yet support a complete choice map.
