Discovered this cute cafe management game called Moe Girl Cafe for android devices. Looks like it was released sometime in December 2013 and it is indeed Moe. There are chibi versions of some popular anime girls that you can hire and assign to have one of three jobs: Hostess, Waiter and Cook. They can then earn experience and level up improving their stats to become a 5-star employee! Unfortunately, it is very hard to get the original character as they come in an assortment of colors and hiring girls with higher ratings requires cash! You can also combine girls and possibly get a new one with better stats.
Ingame money is quite easy to make as long as you level up your menu items. You have to assign an employee to raise level of the food and she won't be able to work in your cafe until its finished. Higher level items on the menu can take a month (which is one play session) or more and are not even guaranteed to level up. Furthermore, salary for the girls will be deducted at the end of every month.
There's only a limited selection of decor (wallpaper, floor and tables). Every 4 months, a special merchant will also visit the restaurant where you may find additional ornamental items for your cafe as well as special recipes for the missing items in your menu.
Even with all its shortcomings, I'm enjoying the chibi versions of familiar anime girls and the collection aspect. There are 23 girls to collect and they come in 5 colors each with one being the true, original color.
The original version of the character will be represented by the pink color of the card.
Ways to obtain cash/credits:

Gameplay tips
- Tap each girl every once in a while to speed them up after a while. Too much tapping will award you with unhappy smileys
- The girls you want to level up quickly should be assigned to hostess or cook. Hostesses earn more experience but you will find that their "charm stat" grows more than other stats.
- Looks like you can assign as many girls as you want to Waitress!
- Set your Main Dishes to menu items that draw in the most income while using the least ingredient costs.
- Log in for 7 days straight to get a 5 star employee!
Will update with more as I familiarize myself more with the game!
Oh yes, my invitation code is 1B60D and username is Chrysa. You can get 60 credits and I will receive 30 (limited to 10 invites only). Thanks.
