At what point do you start making some more money ?

I’m really loving this game so far, and currently at 9 reputation but I’m really struggling to keep my staff paid and making some profit.

I have 2 guests rooms and they are my biggest income (around 1 gold per room)

And I usually sell some of the recipes that are easy to make around 1.5silver for a dish and some beverages once in a while that sell for 4silver but they take so much effort and time..

Right now I’m in my first year Summer season and I was wondering if anyone has some tips for me 😔

Thank you all so much!
