Build the restaurant from an empty plot

You start with a small plot of land and build upward from nothing: kitchen, dining room, restrooms, decor, all placed by you. When the money comes in, you buy more land and expand. Guests judge more than the plate in front of them, so wall color and decoration count toward keeping them happy. It is a simple loop with a clear payoff, watching an empty lot fill with tables and hungry visitors.

Menus, staff and very unimpressed guests

You pick the dishes, set the prices, and learn that a careless menu sinks restaurants faster than bad cooking. You hire employees and set their priorities so orders, serving and cleaning get covered. Then comes upkeep: keep the place clean, keep food quality high, keep waits short, and keep rats firmly out of the dining room. Meet all those needs and the profit follows. Miss them and your dream spot turns into a cautionary tale.

Good to know?

How big can your restaurant get?

You start small and grow as profits allow. Extra land can be bought to stretch the building out, so a cramped starter can become a much larger operation with more tables and more mouths to feed.

What do guests actually care about?

Almost everything. Food quality, waiting time, decor, cleanliness and enough restrooms all feed into satisfaction. Leave them waiting too long or let grime and rats appear, and they will let you know by not coming back.

What do you decide when hiring staff?

You choose who joins the team and set their priorities, so you decide who cooks, who serves and who cleans. A good balance keeps dishes moving and floors clean during a rush.

How do menus work?

You choose which dishes to serve and what to charge for them. Prices need to match the food and the crowd, since the wrong picks or the wrong prices can eat straight through your profits.
