Do some skills also count for employees?

[eXeZ|Gamer433]

Hey there!

I was asking to myself, if the "expert puller" (faster serving drinks) and "spotless tables" (faster cleaning tables) on the manager skills tab, also count for my employees.

And reduce the "manual labor" skill also materical costs for building or just money?

Thanks!

No... Individual skills are just that, individual.

You could think "my skills" and "my tavern's skills" are the same, but they are not.

It's weird running the bar and seeing people pay more or less for an item because my spiffs make more from this and the Bartender makes more from that.

It must cost a fortune in chalk and "printing" down at the local Abbey to constantly update and change the menu pricing depending on who got you what...

I don't know about Manuel or his current employment though. That one slips my mind ATM.

Cheers..!

Thank you for your quick response.

Do you want to tell me, that even all "get more money with xyz products" (in own skill tree, of course) dont work, when they are sold by employees?

[Doc Savage]

Are they you or you them..? Their skills are theirs and yours are yours.

So yes. Your skill tree perks only apply to you.

I tend the bar for the last couple hours of the day with the bartender. I move all the food customers when they get wrapped up in drinks to keep the bar clear and moving.

It's fun watching the dishes and drinks sell for different prices because our perks are different. (...I hope they didn't put the prices on the menu...that could get awkward...)

Cheers..!

Luckily, I didnt chose any skill for extra money (I'm somewhat level 20). I always prefer skills with getting more items or running faster.
More money is something I dont like to skill, because money is something you get quick and much in any business game and when you are rich, the games getting boring.
Same in games where you have a level system but a low level cap, I dont choose any exp boosts. Its often totally wasted.

I have another question, but I dont want to open a new thread for this:

I dont understand the employee skill "order" of the bouncer. Its says "+xx% chance customers sit at already occupied tables.".
Sure, I understand what the meaning is, but what I dont understand is, when I just watch the customers, they always take the seat what is free, doesnt matter if its a new table or if there are 5/6 guests.
So, for what is this skill? What does this skill really do?

A will give you my best guesstimate... It's not a perk I search for and have used sparingly. I also give this in my terms, not the game's terms, as I see things a little differently. (...stop laughing...?B)

You should always have 5-10 extra seats on your floor. You need room for the customers that walk in and sit before going to the bar and becoming an actual customer. (...note some walk to the bar and some don't....those that sit can take quite awhile to finally approach...and this is from the maximizing the bar flow perspective...)

This helps make the most of your count, but it tends to spread everyone around.

That particular perk isn't super anything, but it does come in handy as a secondary "that's nice" as it can take a little (...actually a lot on a bad day...) work off your wait staff. One less table to wipe down can really help you when it's slammin busy and they have 5 drinks ordered on the drinks table to get to before they can do a table clean at all..

I will take a lower perk count to get what I want, but if this perk shows up with another for a Bouncer, it's not a bad thing. I'll likely look for better for sure, but they would be adequate short term.

I won't go looking for it or basing a Bouncer on that alone though at any given time, it just isn't strong enough. I want +customers and move speed for everyone else as my priority perks. But I don't really play like most people so take that with a heaping dose of salt.

Cheers..!

Thank you.

Sorry. I ramble and create books. Be gift or curse, I am not sure... ?B)

Happy to help at any rate.
