Running Your Restaurant
Setting Up Your Kitchen
Place your equipment — Fridge, Oven, and Customer Tables
Place the Open Sign — This controls customer flow
Activate the sign — Customers start spawning at your tables
Place tables where customers can sit. They spawn attached to the chairs and won't roam around.
Pizza Types
Different pizzas have different profits and cooking times:
| Pizza Type | Complexity | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Basic | Simple | Fast to make, lower profit |
| Specialty | Medium | Balanced time and profit |
| Gourmet | Complex | High profit, many ingredients |
Match pizza complexity to how busy you are. Simple pizzas when swamped, complex when slow.
Common Problems
Cause: Left in the oven too long after cooking finished.
Solution: Watch your oven! Remove pizzas promptly when done. Burned pizzas only sell for 20% value.
Cause: Took too long to fulfill their order.
Solution: Work faster. Customers have a patience timer. Start cooking as soon as you see an order.
Cause: Open Sign is off or at customer limit.
Solution: Check your Open Sign is activated. There's also a max customer limit per player.
Cause: Wrong ingredients for that pizza type.
Solution: Check what toppings the pizza type requires. Each recipe has specific ingredients.
Cause: Pizza not assembled or wrong position.
Solution: Make sure you've added all required ingredients first. Touch the pizza physically to the oven.
Cause: Customer left or pizza burned.
Solution: Ingredient costs are paid upfront. Failed deliveries mean 100% loss. Work efficiently.
Tips for Success
Set up in a high-traffic area. More visibility = more potential player customers.
Keep common toppings ready. Don't make customers wait while you shop.
Burning kills profits. A timer for the oven burn time runs after cooking finishes.
When you have many orders, stick to simple pizzas. Save complex recipes for quiet times.
