We’ve just rolled out another update with balance changes, new features, and a range of fixes to improve overall gameplay experience. This update focuses on progression tuning, economy adjustments, and improving clarity for players — especially those new to the game. Balance & Gameplay Changes

→ You now earn more EXP, but slightly less money from basic dishes
→ Maximum tip amount has been reduced • Updated delivery system
→ Short delivery: £25, ~10s
→ Long delivery: £5, 5–7 minutes • Increased the number of herb leaves
→ Dishes using herbs are now cheaper and better balanced • In-game time updated
→ 1 in-game hour now lasts 4 minutes
• Updated daily customer flow Features & Improvements
