Just started playing this -- but without the cheat menu, I'd be screwed.
I'm in the second brothel, I have seven girls, I'm not doing any advertising, but each night I get dozens of men who go away mad because they don't get serviced. And I lose hundreds of coins a night. If I get more girls, it will cost me even more...
Is there a strategy guide somewhere?

There's an old, partial '
You must be registered to see the links
' (which is more of a guide than a proper walkthrough, if you ask me).OTOH, I'd say it'd be easiest if you posted your save here. Then we could take a look and see if you're doing something very wrong, the balance is broken, or what exactly is going on. Your description isn't detailed enough to even begin guessing at what's going on (playing on the hardest difficulty, overupkeep, moon effects, customer tier mismatch, mods, etc etc).
Make sure you're giving girls jobs that best match the things they're good at, at least at first. Regular jobs have higher customer counts so I think it's good to make sure you've got decent coverage for all the jobs. Early on I originally had everyone just set to whoring and was having a similar issue to what you're describing (on top of girls running out of stamina really fast early in the game as a result).
I echo this; if I have 7 girls at this stage, at least 5 will be working "regular" jobs, and only 1 or 2 whoring, with whoring stats prepared for with Guriguri's "toys." Equip items to help each day's job, and Constitution items for rest days.
Later, the billboard from Carpenter can help choose having fewer, but richer customers.
Advertising pulls in more customers, which can lower reputation gains (but mainly if reputation already high for current brothel). But advertising also increases earnings per customer, so I often run with at least 50% advertising.
Check the brothel/Customer Options page. Also there, I usually change on 2nd or 3rd brothel to assign customers by act/job, and use icons on profile pic on girl page to control what difficulty of clients each girl should serve.
I'll also note that there is no real "penalty" for the customers leaving unserviced. That's really just showing lost opportunity. Maybe an indication that you can drop your advertising by a bit. If you are already getting more customers than you can service, then you do not need to be spending as much to bring them in.
Its not true. Advanced unserviced customers drops your reputation.

Thanks for the advice everyone. I am playing it on an easy level (but not the easiest) and I guess I was confused into thinking I was SUPPOSED to get the girls to be whores as much as possible, so I have been ignoring things like waitress. I'll reassign some and see if that makes a difference, and will check out the "walkthrough."

I believe I finally got the latest version and found this error while looking through the CG-Game Story pages
Route taken was: Open game, Extras, CG- Game, Story, Page 9/9 (error).
If you press ignore, the game starts from the beginning with "Would you like the see the intro?"

I was doing well, playing through a second time with the advice given here. And I stupidly hadn't saved for a while when I tried to buy a new slave and was told I had no room. There were two choices: Send her to the farm or cancel. Either choice leads to this error message and I can't progress any farther. 
Haven't seen this particular error, but the version v211126 at end says that you did not install the Required update patch from the OP, and you are running about 3 patches behind.I was doing well, playing through a second time with the advice given here.

Edit: And there is recent code in this area that would seem to avoid this specific error.
Since you haven't saved for a while, you can try rollback & save, then download latest patch (not yet on F95) from
You must be registered to see the links
and unzip it to the game/ folder with overwrite.
Since you apparently started this game from the v211126 version, a new game will not likely be required. You should be able to quit, run & load any save (check if any more-recent autosaves). If you have used foods for effects, a fix is available for that.

Thanks so much. I downloaded the patch, but I'm not certain how to install it -- do I just overwrite similar files?

Yes. The patch has the directory tree all set up, just paste it all into 'game'.

Thanks everyone. Played through again and I still can't figure out why my brothel keeps losing money. I am limited in how many girls I can have, must spend on protection, have to spend on the girls upkeep, and I seem to lose money all the time. What's the secret? I got as far as chapter 3 and then was shut down, game over, because I owed money.
Clearly the money cheat doesn't help in that regard -- I used it to add money, but the game apparently looks at what I actually earned or lost instead of what I cheated to win. And I only did the cheat because I kept losing money!
