Tips and buffet income increase while you are away from the game but the other incomes don't. Tip+ facilities just take cod to buy, but the buffet upgrades are usually locked behind stars. So when you buy facilities, also buy whatever has the highest star bonus you can afford. Daily quest reward for 25/50 stars adds up after a week so stay on that.
