Kitchen upgrades and recipes
Success in the diner hinges on reinvesting earnings into the kitchen layout. When service begins, equipment is basic, limiting both cooking speed and menu variety. Purchasing new cooking stations creates physical workspaces for additional food items, allowing the kitchen to handle more complex customer demands. Each equipment purchase unlocks fresh recipes, providing patrons with broader menu selections and boosting overall diner prestige.
Tips and strategy
- Anticipate patron orders: Position your panda near high-volume stations early so travel distance between tables remains short.
- Prioritize station purchases: Reinvest initial earnings immediately into cooking fixtures, as fresh stations unlock higher-value menu selections.
- Clear finished plates promptly: Hand completed meals to diners without delay to free up prep surfaces for subsequent tickets.
- Maintain a steady rhythm: Plan movements two steps ahead instead of reacting after an order bubble appears.
