So dissapointed with the gameplay

[ola6650]

The game has good potential, but there are a lot of underdeveloped. Aside from the visuals (doors don't open when customers come in, extras aren't picked up by the waiter, etc.), I was very disappointed in the gameplay itself in terms of service. There are places for 38 clients, and you can have a maximum of 20. Besides, I imagined that the service would last for some time and customers would come systematically, i.e., for example, we open a restaurant and customers come, it depends on us how many we will serve until the end of the service. The restaurant has a maximum of 3 tables occupied, it is nonsense. There should be no limit of customers, only the time they can come. If you serve quickly, more will come, because there will be vacancies. If this issue is not changed, for me the game is pointless and goes to the bin. And give the possibility of more dishes, because if I put a few dishes on the heater, I have nothing to cook in... I hope for a big patch that will primarily change the gameplay, because as I wrote above, the game is pointless, 2 are enough for me tables... Because the restaurant is not full anyway, and the number of customers is limited.

But it's so little I think they can change. The game is simply boring, too few customers and you have to wait for them too long :/ And these empty tables are a failure, you need to enlarge the restaurant so that there are max 2 tables occupied anyway. Embarrassing. I hope they change it and I will finally see a full restaurant.

I see what you're saying about not filling up the restaurant, but I don't think that's the point of the game, so it doesn't ruin it for me. The small fix would be for more guests to arrive sooner, and just stagger their ordering times, and also have tables stay longer after they're done eating, so the restaurant is fuller more of the time. Your restaurant gets busier with more regulars and Michelin rating, but I agree it still feels empty. As for the cookware problem, you need to diversify your menu so it doesn't all use the same cookware, don't prep multiple batches of the same item at the same time, and make sure to keep cleaning as you go.

You can have multiple cookware stations.

I totally agree that the eating time should be longer and that the limit of number of customers should not be a fixed number, but dependent on the number of free tables.

However, I wish they'd fix the bugs first (like progression blockages, just because a recipe is incorrect: difference between the recipe and what the cooking station wants). I'm afraid that indeed the devs are too much focused on getting DLC out.

What is this game about? When it comes to cooking itself, why a restaurant theme? They could have just made a cooking simulator. I thought this game was going to be like a restaurant empire, with the addition of cooking.

I agree, 20 customers are not enough and the wait between the tables is long. Should be an option to increase customers.

I do not understand the meaning. It is natural to use almost the same cooking utensils. Knives are used all the time to cut vegetables, and top chefs love to use the same favorite knives for decades. If you don't use the same utensils, you won't understand why you have to buy expensive utensils just for one dish. It is. If you don't use the same machine, you'll have a lot of equipment every time you make a new recipe.
