Dear Managers,
Update 0.6.5 is now available! This is an intermediate step before the next major update, which will finally introduce the highly anticipated rooftop with its cocktail preparation system. Good news: the game is now on promotion with a -20% discount. This is the perfect time to take advantage, especially since the multiplayer mode has just been expanded. This update brings several major changes regarding progression, employee management, and multiplayer.
🤝 Coop Extended to 8 Players
During this development phase, we tested up to 10 players in cooperative mode. Results were very positive with smooth gameplay and stable FPS between 120 and 140 FPS in a full restaurant. To prepare for the arrival of new floors and the rooftop, cooperative mode is now officially extended to 8 players. You can now invite up to 7 friends to your game.
📈 Complete Overhaul of the Progression System
The progression system has been fully redesigned to be more readable and to let you better control the path you want to follow. Previously, missions were listed vertically and were the main key for progression via satisfaction and money to reach the next tier. It was hard to have a clear overview of the missions needed to unlock specific elements.
Now, an experience and chef hats system has been introduced. Missions are still present but now give more experience and money. You also gain experience simply by playing normally.
As you progress, you earn chef hats visible on the new HUD. With these hats and money, you can unlock different game elements via a new PC app: Extension.
Elements are now displayed as a dependency tree. You can choose to focus first on employees, dishes, or decorations depending on your play style.
Moving from one tier to the next no longer requires completing the previous tier entirely. You just pay a number of hats and money proportional to the number of remaining locked items. This allows some players to progress quickly without unlocking all current tier items.
For old saves, don’t worry: everything has been migrated automatically. All your unlocked items are kept in this new system. Tier 3 is currently locked and will be unlocked in the next major update including the rooftop. Start collecting hats now to use them when it’s released.
🧑🍳 New Employee Task System
You can now precisely configure your employees’ tasks from the PC.
Servers:
Take orders
Serve dishes
Clean tables
Bartenders:
Serve drinks
Collect payments
This system allows you to assign certain tasks to your employees and handle others yourself, or optimize efficiency by specializing each employee in a specific task. When the restaurant is full, task distribution prevents efficiency loss from workload overload.
🎰 Casino Opening
The casino is now open. It currently has two themed slot machines:
China
Egypt
Each machine works with a 25-payline system. By default, 20 lines are active, but you can adjust this with the + and - buttons. Total bet is divided by the number of active lines. Reducing lines decreases chances to win but increases potential payout per line. Increasing lines increases chances to win but reduces payout per line.
Each machine also has a very rare jackpot. The jackpot starts at €20,000 per machine and is saved. It gradually increases as players use the machine. It is very rare to hit, but if luck smiles on you, you can win huge sums.
💡 Quality of Life Improvements
You can now order kitchen tables and place them freely in the kitchen or bakery. Default tables have been removed.
Bakery trays can now be stacked to optimize space.
An option now allows disabling the bell sound when a dish is ready.
The view when moving the bakery cart has been improved with partial occlusion to prevent obstruction.
The brasserie can be renamed from the computer.
🛠️ Bug Fixes
Fixed a bug preventing customers’ heads from rotating correctly when chatting at the table.
Fixed a bug preventing guests from collecting boxes from carts.
