Game Rules

Welcome to The Lemonade Stand! This game aims to help demonstrate real world applications of EBITDA and how to calculate it! Here's how to play:

• Contract workers and buy supplies to produce lemonade.
• Wages for workers will affect their productivity with diminishing returns.
• Each bottle of lemonade requires 1 cup, 1 lemon, and 1 worker.
• Each day lasts 60 seconds.
• At the end of each day, you will need to calculate your EBITDA.
• Remember! EBITDA = Revenue - Expenses (Revenue - COGS - OPEX).
• Adjust the price of lemonade to attract more customers.
• Hire and fire workers to manage production efficiency.
• Use advertisements to boost customer purchases for the rest of that day.
• Monitor your resources and expenses to avoid bankruptcy.
• Most importantly, have fun!
