1 Basics

The restaurants in the game are different in size, and the number of employees (including chefs) is accordingly limited. The restaurant is divided into upstairs and downstairs, so the distribution of employees must be reasonably arranged. This game pays great attention to the placement and routing of tables and chairs. Tables and chairs that are too densely packed will cause guests to complain about being "too noisy", while tables and chairs that are too far apart will not only waste space but also affect the speed of serving tables. Particular attention should be paid to the food serving route of employees. If an employee is blocked several times, the food in his hand will disappear, and of course he will not receive the money (there will also be serious complaints). Therefore, you should hire an appropriate amount of employees. If there are too many employees, it will be blocked by the employees themselves. Another point that needs special attention: when the waiter takes the dishes from the cooking table, he can take many dishes at one time, but through the food transfer machine, he can only take one plate at a time, so the floor where the kitchen is located can place more tables and chairs, and vice versa. It is necessary to control the number of tables and chairs to avoid increasing customer complaints. All employees except chefs can be hired in the employment panel. Chefs can only be added through the plot, so they are valuable resources. Even if there are sometimes more chefs, it doesn't matter. They must not be fired. They will be used in future levels.

2 Procrastinate for time

Since the chef's skills are solely determined by proficiency, try to let the chef cook as much as possible. In the story mode, if possible, it is best to use up the time limit of each level and wait until the last month to reach the target. This not only accumulates funds, but more importantly, enhances the chef's skills. When the previous levels are relatively simple, if you rush too fast, you may not be able to achieve the goal when the later levels become more difficult.

3 Proficiency

The chef’s proficiency in a certain dish type is determined by the proficiency of all dishes in that category, which may be approximately the average; while the proficiency of new dishes is Proficiency is determined by this average. For example, "appetizers" only have two dishes in the early stage. If you practice both to 100%, then you will have 100% proficiency in new dishes that are "appetizers" when they first appear. If one is 100% and the other is 50%, then new dishes in the future will appear with 75% proficiency. Therefore, when there are few dishes in the early stage, try to let the chef improve the proficiency of each category.

4 A Gang of One

Another factor that affects a chef’s skills is the skills of other chefs in the same restaurant. Even for a new chef with all skills at 1%, if you place him in a restaurant with highly skilled chefs, his skills will rise "swiss swish" in a month; and if there is no high-skilled chef in a restaurant, The chefs are all novice chefs, so the skills increase as slowly as a snail... The skills that the low-skilled chefs improve the fastest are exactly the skills that the high-skilled chefs are best at. For example, in a restaurant, there is a chef with a very high French soup skill. Then the French soup skill of the chefs in the same group will increase very quickly, while other skills will increase very slowly. Therefore, when a new chef joins, the original chefs must be deployed reasonably to achieve the best effect of high-level and low-level work.

5 Ingredients

In addition to the skill of the chef, the quality of the ingredients will also affect the quality of the food. There are two types of ingredients in the game, menu ingredients and chef ingredients. Menu ingredients refer to ingredients supplied by suppliers and can be designated for use in the cooking list; chef ingredients refer to ingredients purchased by the chef himself and can only be designated for use when the chef cooks. Vendors appear in emergencies, i.e. there is no other way but to wait for the plot. In the first few levels, there were no plots where suppliers appeared, but the tutorial mentioned the issue of ingredients, which led many players to think that they had to do something to find suppliers. In fact, just wait patiently. After someone informs the supplier of information during an emergency, a white bottle-shaped object will appear behind some ingredients on the menu. This is the ingredient that that supplier can supply. Click on the white bottle to go to the supplier list. If you select this supplier, the white bottle will turn into a red bottle, and you will always be able to obtain this better quality ingredient from the supplier in the future. In the later stages of the game, when there are many suppliers, there will be two companies supplying the same raw material at the same time. At this time, the original red bottle will turn white again, allowing the player to choose one again (of course, the one with better quality) . Although the design of menu ingredients is good, it is really a headache in the later stages of the game. There will be a bunch of suppliers in almost every level, and then you have to manually browse through the huge list of dishes one by one and sort the numerous ingredients into suppliers. Supply, anyway, I’m tired of it~~~~There are two ways to obtain chef’s ingredients. One is to obtain them from emergencies, and the other is to buy them by yourself when the fruit and vegetable store appears in the middle of the game. It is worth noting that only the chef who intervenes in an emergency (a random one among the chefs in the restaurant) can get the ingredients, while only the protagonist can get the ingredients that he bought himself. When a chef is assigned to cook, if the chef has the ingredients required for the dish, he can choose whether to use the chef's ingredients; when participating in a competition, he can also choose (after selecting a chef in the competition, if an ingredient appears below A sign indicating that the chef owns the ingredients for this dish). The quality of the ingredients will affect the star rating of the dish, so it must be used in the competition (if any). However, since it is troublesome for chefs to obtain ingredients, and after using them, they have to wait for the next event or buy them again, so it is generally not recommended for daily operations.

6 Competition

In the plot level, there will be a food competition. If your chef skills are not high in the early stages of the game, it is recommended to go to the competition hall beforehand, write down the competition items and dishes, and then come back to focus on training. The chef's proficiency becomes more familiar the more he cooks it, so he should try every means to get the guests to order more of this dish. Some posts say to lower the price of dishes to achieve the purpose of increasing sales. In my practice, this method is not effective. It is best to designate a chef with relatively high proficiency to specialize in this dish (competition) Of course he was the one who served it), and then delete all other dishes of the same type on the menu, so that customers can only order this dish. This will cause a lot of complaints about "not rich dishes" and affect your income. Just leave it alone and practice for a few months to build up your familiarity. In the early stage when there are not many customers (less orders), this method can easily increase the proficiency by more than 30% every month (day), and it can reach 100% in two or three months at most. In the middle and later stages of the game, as the chef's skills become higher, the competition is usually several rounds, as long as the total score is the highest, so there is basically no need to practice competition dishes specifically. As long as the chef's foundation is good in the early stage (the more practice time, the higher the skill), Definitely a sure win (again, the importance of delaying time~~~). Competitions are very valuable in the early and middle stages of the game, as you can obtain food and improve your rankings. Don’t miss any of them; they are not very important in the late stages of the game.

7 Emergencies

Emergency events in the game generally occur in the first month, very few in the second month, and none in the third month. It is generally divided into buying recipes, selling recipes, increasing proficiency, providing raw materials, plot events, etc. Buying a recipe means first praising you for how delicious a certain dish is, and then wanting to spend money to buy the recipe for this dish. You will make money without losing money, so of course you agree; selling a recipe means selling you new dishes. A variety of dishes can increase the number of customers. There are many choices, including quite high-quality dishes. Of course you have to buy them. It is worth noting that new dishes are relatively expensive, usually between 10,000 and 20,000. The price will be increased appropriately in the future, so you must control your expenditure in the early stage to accumulate funds, and first ensure that you can buy them. Recipes, the event of selling recipes in the game is random, which means that even if you clear the level, you may not get all the recipes; increasing proficiency means paying to increase the proficiency of a certain dish. You don’t need to buy it when you are short of funds in the early stage. , anyway, your proficiency will increase if you practice more. The dishes appear randomly, so even if you are already 100% proficient in the dishes, there will still be events that increase your proficiency. Don’t waste your money at this time; providing raw materials is generally a matter of telling Regarding the situation of your certain supplier, then some dishes in the cooking list can use the raw materials provided by the supplier (three stars or above), which not only increases the cost but also increases the quality of the dishes. This kind of information is free of charge; plot The event is that some specific plot characters appear in the restaurant, triggering future plots. Dishes from another country cannot appear in other country-style restaurants, so in the early stages of the game there will be situations where you buy a dish but it is not in the menu. That is because the dish may be an Italian dish, which is not available in a French restaurant. It will not appear in . This dish will only appear in Italian restaurants in the future.
