Customers who like pasta saying nothing they liked was on the menu.

[CISAC]

I have one pasta dish on my menu and another one that uses puff pastry as that is the icon for pasta somehow.
The customers still complain nothing they liked was on the menu when their only likes are pasta.

Is this a bug?

Seems like a bug, yes. Please post screenshots or hit F11

I already reported two instances of it as it happens with more than pasta.
Also happened with Haddock and Boiled.

I can't seem to get 5 stars reviews either no matter what.
They say the food was delicious, the restaurant looks great and is clean but it's always 4 stars.
Haven't managed to get a single 5 star review so I can't complete tier 1 of sandbox.
Is this normal?

EDIT:

Managed to get a 5 star review by lowering the prices.
Does the food need to be delicious for that to happen? Tasty doesn't suffice?

Thanks, saw the reports. Will address them ASAP.

5 stars means "near perfection", so yes, "delicious" is a must

Alright, thank you for the quick response! 🙂

I wonder if this is related to the customers that say they love pasta (as per text when you hover over the food icon in their review) but the icon is that used for puff pastry in the recipe book.

I also thought it could be that but I did have a puff pasty dish in the menu (kind of like a chicken pot pie) and they said nothing they liked was on it still.

So is there a fix for this so far? For me they complain that no pasta, even though I have pasta on the menu!

What is your recipe like? Can you paste a screenshot?

I already passed the level and moved on.
I tried to cover everything, with the Spaghetti, Puffy Pasta and Pasta slices ingredients, boiled with some spices. It also said pasta as a result I guess. So my question is in general if you want to cover everything for sure, will the customers be satisfied even though you serve them a big mix of ingredients, just one of them being the favoured one?

[Alex, Master Penguin]

They care A LOT about their favourite food.

As for the pasta, check the guides section, in special recipes. Boil pasta, then sauce with tomato and cheese, seared

Dear Dev,
I really enjoy your game and I first want to compliment you for releasing it.
The issue:

1st: So I am playing the 2nd Sandbox level and costumers complain I don't have grilled Tofu (grill icon + Tofu icon). I create a recipe with Tofu, vegan ground beef, vegan ground pork, nori and vegan chicken, all with the grill step. So what am I missing here, why do they still say I don't have it on the menu?

2nd: same level, customers complain no boiled vegan chicken (boiled icon + vegan chicken icon). I created the recipe with vegaon chicken, olive oil, nori, vegan ground beef, vegan ground pork. Still they say it is not on the menu, WHY?

In general I don't like to create a recipe with just 2 ingredients, it would be too cheap, I need to make money. So from my understanding IT DOESN'T matter if I add other ingredients of the same kind (also vegan, just spices or veggies) to the recipe, AS LONG AS the ONE favoured ingredient of the customer is in the recipe with the according preparation step?

Am I right or wrong with this? Please if this riddle is solved, nothing prevents me from enjoying this game!

[Alex, Master Penguin]

Thanks for the kind words!

1. This seems like a bug. You sure it's tofu what you added? Should work, will investigate

2. Same thing, but now it surprises me. Maybe the recipe isn't valid? Or too expensive so that the customers don't care about it? Or it has a hated ingredients those customers won't touch?
