Suggestions - In No Particular Order / Questions
HUD/UI - Have a Seats indicater XX/XX for open/max seating. Bar/Graph indicating levels of stock. I keep getting surprised when an item runs out.

Fill All Button or a Next Button to move to the next bar. For the bars, the button to fill on the right and the back button is on the left, which is different than the crate. Be nice if they were in similar spots.

Mousing over the different customer class should tell you about them.

I feel like there's no penalty for having my stocks run empty. Getting a message you're empty and being able to click a button to fill it seems unfulfilling. I think there should be some kind of ordering system. Perhaps limiting growth to how much supply you can bring in. Have resources open up based on reputation.

Having a ledger perhaps to track what's been ordered and price and perhaps delivery information like how long until it arrives.

More of a cooking animation instead taking stuff out of the chest/crate. Perhaps some shelves that could symbolize storage instead.

The thief stealing seemed to take too much the first time, at least for me. Cost me like $600 gold to replace the stolen bar items. Hired a guard and then it's kind of a waste of time after that to see the thief run away over and over. Perhaps only show a cut scene if something happens like the guard gets hurt or maybe killed.

Why does the cook get money when putting a dish up for service?

Why do servers get a set tip. Seems like there should be a chance for that to fail or be modified.

How do the staff settings work. I don't seem to be able to set a server to only do drinks for example. I set each category to one of 3 settings, !/!!/!!! - I don't understand this. Perhaps another mouse tool tip for these as well.

All I have for now.

Events - At some point they change and more people show up. I was caught off guard by this and had to quickly add seating to meet the expectation. Perhaps, a Star or some icon could show that the event changed.

Storage Barrels - How do these work? I have them next to my kitchen but don't notice any difference. I still have to refill everything each evening.

This is amazing feedback! I wrote it all down and I will work on improving these things :) Ingredients feature is quite new so there is a lot of room for improvement. Thief especially needs improvement I feel.
Storage barrels should refill your chests and bars automatically during the night so you don't have to click manually. I will check if there is some bug here.
Regarding the events, they scale up when you unlock a new floor. More guests will come in and reward is bigger.
Again, this feedback is amazing! Thanks for taking the time to write it!

Not sure how many people you want us to hire or how hard that would be to fit in current UI but I was thinking perhaps a drudge could be hired to make the storage barrels work. Maybe one per floor. Maybe have them level up where they will refill during the day or something.

Perhaps a clock where we can set last call. Serving up to the last second when there's no way we will have time to serve wastes our inventory.

Two settings - one for food and one for drink?

Servers deliver drinks in order of ? (when ordered?) instead of logically. So they will pass a table they have a drink for to deliver in some other order.

During Events, I sign out front should say it's closed for such and such event.

Perhaps a notice when you buy the stairway or tool tip.

Honestly, I think it should be unlocked some other way. I built the stairway but taking a long time to actually build it out to accommodate customers. i have a complete downstairs now seating 104 but still nothing upstairs as I wait to unlock hotel furniture.

This is working. I would look at the end of the day before it had a chance to do it automatically. so maybe have that with the info. it would even be more intuitive if you had a drudge to do the refilling

For some reason it wasn't obvious to me I could upgrade my guard. Possibly as I had no reason to but later when I had tons of cash I clicked on him and saw the upgrades to armor and weapon available.

When changing the floor design, you can't see what's been done easily with the green colored highlights for furniture.

I keep trying to use page up and page down to go to change floors. This could be just me.

This feedback is really useful for me! I added it all to a list and I will see what I can improve :) Hiring someone to help with barrels sounds amazing to me and I am thinking in the same direction

You aren't the only one. I've been doing that too and not to mention I kept hitting shift to change all the walls at the same time :P

Anyway, super awesome on game and suggestions. Goodluck Dev.:steamthumbsup:
