Stuck with no money

[GingersaurusRex13]

Idk what day I'm on but I bought a kitchen accessory not realizing how much money i actually had and now i have only 2 dollars and i cant buy food stocks. So now i cant continue through the day and im just stuck not being able to continue. Is there a fix for this. Or can there be a fix such as a loan or borrowed food stocks that can be repayed so were not stuck not being able to do anything at all with no money.

The devs said in the livestream that no loans or bankruptcy is a part of the game, so you have to start over and keep an eye on your budget.
May I ask how did you got nearly bankrupt?

Food stocks first, design and kitchen appliances last...

I imagine they had money and spent it at night (like I'm sure most of us do), and then woke up in the morning and had none to spend on supplies. They said as much. They didn't realize they were spending there last $

i actually order mine in the morning's first thing after deciding my menu. that way i can't run into this issue.

ordered supply in the morning. haven't spent a dime on restaurant decorations. only bought machine if needed. ignoring all requests that require decoration on the restaurants. focusing on just learning recipes. i have a lot of money atm.

Were you able to solve this? I'm in the same situation...

I have the same situation, and the solution is to reduce the menu and demand, with a minimum of three dishes on the menu. This can temporarily overcome the difficulties of the day, but the disadvantage is that it will not earn much money that day.

Even if you don't do that, you can eventually return to profitability by adding 5 menu items with higher unit prices and making the price the highest. In this game, you can buy the cheapest simple ingredients even if your money is negative, and if you raise the price, the quality of the service will deteriorate, but there is no penalty at all even if the restaurant is atrocious and continues to provide bad service.

that happened to me while i got the DLC´s and bought the oven and Pizza at the start.

It is hard to believe to read afterwards, that you can´t prepare a Pizza because you need a higher level item.

In common it should not be possible, but happens ;). especially when you start learning recipes and try to get Kasim lucky. (new to this game and in common games are able to disable recipes you don´t have the workbenches.

dunno, for the price this game feels in some points very old. (don´t missunderstand me, i like it, but the NPCs feels older as in WC3 as some of the rng-dailys you never can do in the first days...recipes you can´t do should in common be blocked and should have maybe a mark at the DLC as it promise "you can do it from the start")

You can purchase a pizza oven from the beginning, but since you don't have a stand mixer, you won't be able to make pizza dough from the beginning, so it's pointless. I don't know why they made it that way. Also, requests have been made since the restaurant first opened, but you won't see them until a few days after the restaurant opens. Therefore, if the deadline is short, the player will fail without knowing what the request was and will not receive the reward. This game is sweet in many ways.

Yeah that happened in my second round too. In the first round i got bankrupt because of Pizza xD.

And I dunno what to say about the NPC´s. It doesn´t really feel that I´m their boss and it feels more like they didn´t want to work in general (made a topic about it and I don´t understand why there aren´t more complains). That is so far beyond reality. If anyone acts in reallife like this for one week - get your things and go home.

In general I love writing reviews, but I really dunno what to say about this epic fail in such a price category. The game in general feels like EA and not like a 40 € title.

yeah, i've always hated the whole mood factor that says stuff like "I don't want to do this" like, i can't have everyone cooking, sorry. somebody has to be on dish duty. Even when rotated properly you'll still have this issue.

I don't know if I miss something, I stuck that day because store can't put on shelf due to not reach the minimum. so I need to reduce my menu. Is there some other way no need to do that?

They were just saying you could add 5 menu items and then raise the prices to the maximum amount for them to make profit. It will hurt your store in terms of quality of service but you don't get any real penalties for it. Basically you can do it either way.

I'm deciding if i want to buy the game. So one of my questions is ...how much can you charge for a meal before getting 1 star. And how many customers do you get per day before you become a chef and get 1 star and then after you get 3 stars.
