Actually deliver food?

So me and a friend were excited when we stumbled on this for a list of cooking co-op games. Booted it up and the only thing we were confused about was the serving. We were actually hoping we would have to prep enough food for 6-8 people similar to plate up so we bought all the stuff only for 1 plate to just sit on a serving tray and feed 4 people. Meanwhile the fridge was stocked with sliced tomatoes and sliced and seasoned ribeye. Granted we did skip the tutorial so that may be explained but still a let down.

Essentially, wanted to know if we will actually have to serve the food to them or is this it? Or if a mod could eventually make that so? This is a good base but we were kinda let down cus starting out there isn't much for a 2nd or more person to do with the sync issue we kept having as well.

No they take the meal themselves. The way you describe it may work for small restaurants with 10 customers a day - but later on you have a larger restaurant with 50+ customers per day - you would not have enough time to do it your way.

If you want to serve the customers you have to play a different game.

May be make a suggestion with reasons if that is what you like to see, since this game still in EA.
I kinda also like the organic feel in delivering the food but it is too much for some people and only work for small restaurant. Though it make sense in delivering food in a high class restaurant that is not in a buffet style business.

It would be too much for people playing solo but they could use npc to do the delivering of food for solo players, while more fun for people playing multiplayer to deliver their food. The best solution would be having npc doing it while player also able to delivery dishes at the same time.

Yesterday we had every da around 78 customers. My friend is in his savegame at 150+ customers a day. You just dont have time to serve the meals to the customer. As already said play a different game if you want to - I think in Chef Life its that way.

Alright then, good to know. Having just started we were assuming the numbers were going to stay fairly tame but if its getting to 100+ then I can see the issue that may cause. Granted an alternate mode or mod would still be nice to see eventually. I do like the cooking and prepping aspect though.

Made a Screenshot today - you can see the estimated customers for the day.
