[1.0 Beta] Beta Branch Update

Dear Managers,

A new update is now available on the 1.0 Beta branch.

Thank you for all your feedback! It has already helped us fix several issues and improve the 1.0 experience.

Here are the main changes included in this update. Several additional minor fixes and adjustments are also included.

New Content

• Added 3 new breakfasts: Pain aux Raisins, Apple Turnover and Chocolate Cornet.
• Added an in-game multiplayer chat.
• Implemented the new HUD design.
• Added an option to enable or disable the Menu du Jour.

Improvements

• Breakfast items can now be plated in batches. Hold a bakery or serving tray (black tray) containing plates, then click directly on the tray containing the pastries to plate them all in a single click.
• Bartenders can now use drinks already prepared by the player.
• Bakery trays now slide out only when holding a bakery or serving tray.
• Added a search bar to the Menu du Jour dish selection.
• The kitchen door to the office has been removed. The kitchen elevator can now lead directly to the office or basement.
• Improved employee use of service carts, with more frequent trips to unload dirty dishes.
• Fixed an issue where waiters could get stuck when exiting the elevator.
• Fixed an issue with menu distribution in co-op. When a Menu du Jour is configured, it now correctly increases the customer adoption rate instead of only increasing customer flow.

Balancing

• Adjusted XP and Chef Hat progression.
• Adjusted early-game customer flow to reduce large queues.
• Reduced several Expansion unlock costs, especially employees and supplies.
• Reduced some employee training costs and durations.
• Reworked the specialities assigned to dishes and their required levels to make them more coherent and realistic.
• The maximum level of the Grill & Meat, Viennoiseries and Sauces specialities has been reduced from Level 3 to Level 2.
• Dish speciality requirements have also been redistributed to avoid having speciality levels with only a single dish assigned to them.

Save Migration

• Improved migration from Early Access saves to Version 1.0.
• Added a pop-up explaining the main changes made during migration.
• Players are now refunded for objects removed because of the new bistro layout.
