Hey, Chefs!

Reputation is a key parameter that affects almost all aspects of the game:

  • Available Races: Determines which races will visit your restaurant.

  • Room and Furniture Upgrades: Determines which room cards and furniture upgrade cards can appear for you.

  • Available DishesAffects which dishes are added to your pool of available cards.
  • Events: Influences the frequency and type of in-game events.

  • Menu Upgrade: Once you have unlocked the menu, card rewards can include menu upgrades:

    • More slots for manually selecting dishes.

    • Some dish slots are chosen automatically.

⚠️ Important: For a room upgrade card to have a chance to appear, you need a minimum of 250 reputation.

FRIENDSLOP MODE

The rules are different in this mode:

  • No ReputationThis system is completely disabled.
  • Blueprints Available ImmediatelyAll blueprints for purchase become available as soon as a dish is unlocked.
  • No Card Restrictions: Any card can appear on any day, without any reputation-based limitations.

Also, here’s some additional info about the TAX system

The tax increases for each copy of the same item placed in your restaurant.

  • 1st item: Base price (e.g., 4).

  • 2nd identical item: 12.

  • 3rd identical item: 24.

  • 4th identical item: 48.

Keep in mind that different levels of the same item are considered different items. Meaning: Level 2 grill won’t increase taxes on level 1 grill, as they’re not the same item.

We hope this little guide was helpful to you, and good luck at the restaurant!
