8. The person who opens the caf will arrive at 5am and collect coffee beans, milk, and food for sale. 9. The person closing the caf is responsible for the cleaning and removal of rubbish and leaving a note for the person who opens the next morning.

10. As Django closes the caf on a Saturday and opens it on a Monday, he will take the van home to wash it. On 24 November 2023, they receive the keys to the premises, and they fit out the shop

On 27 November they enter into a contract with Isla Beans Pty Ltd ("Isla Beans") with the following terms:

On 19 January, Django orders a new coffee machine, the z900, from Speedy Caf Supplies for $8000 for the Naked Cat. The machine arrives the next day and he takes the old machine home that evening. On Friday, 1 February, Django registers a business name for himself named "Cat's Coffee & Cream" and registers it through an app for deliveries between Saturday 6pm and Sunday 11pm. He uses the coffee machine that was replaced at his home for making the orders and uses the van for deliveries. Willow and Terry are unaware of this development.

On Saturday 2 Feb, after closing the Naked Cat at 6pm, Django starts taking orders for his own business. By the end of February, the Naked Cat extremely popular and they are finding it hard to keep up with demand. They employ Moose to assist with serving of food and to take care of any deliveries.

On 4 March, they enter into a contract with Amanda's Amazing Art for a painting of a cat they want to display in their caf. The painting is to be delivered by 15 March at 5pm at the latest. They send $5000 to Amanda.

On 7 Mar, Moose is out delivering food when he has a car accident. Maria the driver of the van owned by "Maria's Muffins" screams at Moose "I am going to sue you for all the damage to my van". The damage amounts to $5000.

On 15 March, the painting is collected from Amanda's Amazing Art at 8am by a courier company Jaya's Journeys. Jaya, the driver stops to get a milkshake on the way. Whilst in the shop, Jaya's Journeys van is stolen and at 4pm the police contact her to inform her that her van has been found burnt out and the painting destroyed. Jaya contacts the Naked Cat and Terry answers the phone and is informed of the painting.
