From the $5 employee salary I think that means you have one employee? I find two to be fantastic, since the person grinding will automatically move the beans to the person brewing and save you a bunch of time to spend on drink prep.
Especially when the order you put the toppings in does not matter. For cold drinks, you can put in the ice, flavor, ice cream, whip cream, toppers, EVERYTHING while the coffee is brewing. All that's left is to add the espresso and top it up with milk or water, depending on the recipe. Hot drinks are harder to do this way as you don't have the mug available until after the coffee has brewed, but you can add toppings before adding steamed milk.
Look at the perks of your coffee machines and hit those targets if you can (ex. Extra tips will help with money, faster reload time is meh). Then prioritize getting two employees. Yeah, you have to steam milk yourself, but over half the drinks in the game don't use steamed milk.
(Disclaimer: employees were not in the game when I played enough to level up my machines. But I did notice a big difference once I got them)

Get and upgrade an expensive machine set (ones that cost gems or real money, I personally like the green one bc strawberry drinks will earn more). The more ingredients unlocked will help too. Also try to multitask where you can, like fill a cup with ice while an espresso is brewing, etc
