Floors are the main components of Tiny Tower. They all have unique themes and names. Commercial floors (Food, Service, Recreation, Retail, and Creative) sell a variety of merchandise while Residential floors, also known as apartments, house up to 5 Bitizens. You can paint and rename floors however you like. Each Commercial floor may be upgraded to a maximum level of 10 with Bux. As of Version 3.1.5 the total spread of Commercial Floors is: The Floor Total Sales amount is reached by: Product 1 Stock Quantity + Product 2 Stock Quantity * 2 + Product 3 Stock Quantity * 3 = Floor Total Sales.

I see that I can pay to upgrade inventory, but I don't know whether I get more bang for my buck starting with shops that have the largest inventories already, or starting with the smallest, or if there are other factors besides inventory size to consider when upgrading.
So which shops does it make best financial sense to upgrade first? For upgrading, the increase in the default stock (75) is flat across the board. This means that no matter the size of the store's stock quantities, the 'upgrade' is going to be the same constant amount. However, if any workers there are working their 'Dream Jobs', the stock increase effectively doubles to 150 for the number of items matching Dream Jobbers. As far as which stores to upgrade first, that depends on your playing preference. A general order follows: If you're having trouble keeping stock in your smaller stores (especially your Food-based ones), then you can start with those to help balance things out. Having empty stores brings in nothing, while larger stores can be kept at least partially stocked without as much maintenance. After that, prioritize upgrades to stores where the workers are in their 'Dream Job', as the additional stock bonus helps make the upgrade more worthwhile.
Otherwise, in general it's best to spread the upgrades around all of your floors so that they're consistently keeping their stock longer. Last note, don't get too aggressive with your upgrades - unless you're frequently leaving your tower for long periods of time and have stores emptying out a lot, those Tower Bux can be better spent on other things like the Coin Bank and quick restocks/sales/builds. Every shop upgrades the same way. From the Tiny Tower wiki: At the cost of 3 Tower Bux, the player can permanently upgrade aEach level of upgrade does the following: Adds 75 Stock to each product Adds 45 Coins to the cost of restocking each product Adds 5 minutes to the restocking time of each product Tip: If you are spending a lot of time on your Tower, checking it often then there is no real need to upgrade (use the Bux for more profitable things as others have said). If you only get to it every so often (say a couple times a day or less), upgrade the floors that have low stock/restocking times.
Because of the infrequency I check my Tower, I like to have the minimum stocking time be 30 minutes so that they stay stocked longer. With those 5 minute stocking times its great if you're checking constantly because you can get more Bux for having a floor fully stocked, but for me I was always running out of stock and therefore earning nothing. However, my OCD kicked in and I had to have all the floors on the same upgrade "level" so now all of my floors are upgraded. Since I regularly leave the game for several hours at a time, I upgraded all my shops to a 1-hour minimum stock-time. With the tower-bux cheat, I'm planning on getting them all to an 8-hour minimum, allowing the game to earn me money for much longer periods of time when I'm not playing it. Though this will cost me a ton of bux, and take a long time to do, it's still a better long-term investment than simply buying cash with 50 tower bux at a time, especially above 150 floors.Browse other questions tagged tiny-tower or ask your own question.
Who could have believed that building a tiny tower with 1-bit characters can be so addicting. If you are reading this guide, you must be enjoying Tiny Tower a lot, but wish to find a way to help you make more money, get more bitbux, and build the tallest tower in the shortest amount of time! We have put together a strategy guide for Tiny Tower on the iPhone and iPad. Keep on reading for tips and tricks to get more money and bitbucks for your Tiny Tower! You can make money in Tiny Tower in a couple of ways. 1: You can collect money from businesses. First you will need the initial capital to build a floor and construct a business. Choose a business category. Once the construction is completed, that floor will randomly turn into a business of that category. When a business is operational, you must then hire workers to restock items. After the restocking is completed, the items need to be sold for profit. Usually businesses requiring more time to restock can get you more money.
But they require more time to complete as well. 2: You can collect money when you have successfully moved a person to the correct floor with the elevator. However, the money you collect is only 2 times the floor level. That makes it pretty much negligible as a part of your overall income. 3: You can convert bitbux to Tiny Tower money with bitbux. Thus, the more bitbux you collect, the more money you can accumulate to build that next floor. This is especially important early in the game. There are several ways in Tiny Tower to get bitbux for free. In the first 20 floors or so, the most likely source of bitbux should come from finding bitizens in the tower. A blue person icon should appear at the bottom of the screen while you are playing. Just tap it and match the bitizen your are looking for in one of the floors. Then tap that bitizen to collect the free bitbux. This gets more difficult as your tower gets more floors. 2. A tip from a visitor riding your elevator
Another likely source of bitbux in the beginning of the game is getting a bitbux as a tip for helping them with the elevators. Most of the time you will get only money as compensation for your hard work as an elevator conductor. But once in a while, you’ll be awarded a free bitbux! 3. Get a dream job for a tenant As your tower grows, it is more likely that you will be able to give a tenant a dream job in the tower. This is a lot easier after you have achieved 30 stories in the game. By placing a tenant in their dream job, you will be awarded 3 whole bitbuxes. 4. Fully restock a floor There are 3 items each business can sell on a floor. Sometimes when you fully restock a floor, you will get a free bitbux. 5. Build a new floor Each time you build a new floor, you’ll get a free bitbux. When you first start out in Tiny Tower, you may want to start accumulating those bitbux until you get 20 of them. Start hitting those elevator buttons and find your tenants for a free bitbux.
At 20 bitbux, trade it for 20,000 of gold coins for a quick tower construction boost. After you’ve built 10 floors, you may want to wait until you’ve accumulated 50 bitbux for another shot of power tower building. The main way of making the big money in Tiny Tower for iPhone and iPad is thru business establishments. You can get more profits in a Tiny Tower business by hiring better workers. With better workers and profitable businesses, you can collect hundreds of thousands and even millions of gold each time your log on. 1. Highly Rated Workers Workers with high performance on a business category can lower the cost of purchasing stock items. Each point on a worker’s skill level is worth 1 per cent of the total discount on an item. If you have 3 workers with 9 skill points for that business category, you can get a maximum of 27% discount on an item. Workers with a dream job for that business establishment will double the production for an item. One dream worker for a particular business will double the production of the least expensive item.
Only with a business with all 3 dream workers can you double the production of the most expensive sales item for that business. Toward the latter part of the game, you should try to get 3 dream workers to a business for maximum money production. Each businesses generate different amount of gold. Usually, businesses with a longer restocking time generate more cash. If you have a lot of floors, putting manpower and time into those businesses should yield the most amount of money in the long haul. As your tower grows, getting a tenant into a dream job gets a lot easier. There are 16 business in each category and 5 categories in all. Thus, there is a possibility of 80 dream jobs. As you build over 20 businesses in your tower, you may want to consider using dream jobs as your main way of acquiring free bitbux. Of course, after you have build all 80 businesses, bitbux is almost unlimited as you can easily fit everyone into a dream job. Setting up for dream jobs To maximize your chance for getting dream jobs and that 3 extra bitbux, you can set up each residences so there is at least one vacancy in each floor with a residence.
You should probably have 1 residence for every 3 businesses. As you grow past 20 businesses in your tower, try to get a new bitizen to fill a vacancy with your elevator. Hopefully when a new bitizen arrives at his/her residence, they have a dream job in a business establishment already present in the tower. Assign that bitizen to the dream job, collect 3 bitbux, and evict someone in that residence so that you’ll have at least 1 vacancy remaining. If that bitizen who just got that dream job also has low job ratings, you may want to consider evicting him/her as well. Hopefully you can use this tip to quickly get bitbux to buy for that faster elevator or exchange the bitbucks for $100,000 to build that new floor. You are probably wondering just kind of business can you possibly have in your Tiny Tower. Well here’s a complete list grouped by categories. The numbers beside each business establishments represent the wait time in minutes necessary for restocking items. Naturally, businesses with longer wait times will yield more money in the long run since they require less maintenance.
