Ingredients? How to get more.

[Tanyon]

Maybe I'm putting the cart before the horse but where do I get more ingredients.

I'm about 10 hours in, just served my 2nd VIP and I have all the like plants and fish I need for good dishes but no ingredients. I stay in the dives for like 25+ mins and get all that I can but it's like 5? ingredient chest?

I know I can hire people and send them out but I have yet to get a worker from an add that actually has a good procure stat.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

It's just chests(cooking pots) and staff sent to procure.
Eventually you can have much more staff than you have slots in the restaurant, and you can send them all out procuring. Until then, pick some sushi to enhance to be your big ticket dish, since it won't need any spices. Early on mine was green humphead parrotfish.

OK cool thanks guys. Reef shark seems to sell pretty good as well. I'll try the parrot fish too. !! I appreciate it.

It seems weird that things like salt and soy sauce are something you would need to hire someone to "procure". Especially when they can come back with only one.

You would think they could, like, go to a store?

I know that would probably be too easy, but it's still silly.

That's game economy for you. Doesn't make sense when applied IRL.

Train your procurers. Some of the applicants are naturals at it. I trained one of my employees just for procuring and she comes back every day with 2-3 of whatever I need.

I imagine the Procure stat is about how tactful an employee is when getting ingredients. An employee with a low procure stat might go to a store or something, whereas an employee with a high procure stat would go wholesale and get the ingredient at it's source.

How bad at your job do you have to be to go to the store to buy sauce and only come back with enough for one dish?

Remember that they don't actually pay for the ingredients. They charm it away, or steal it. Cartoon logic.

Hire Davina and get her to level 7 to net cool 8 ingredients per pop. Hire many people. Put up internet hiring before closing. Those not working must dispatch e-v-e-r-y evening. You can use sushi income to train them during evening and send them away just before closing to max effectiveness.

For money put your early game faith into Stellate Puffer Nicogori. Easy to get, easy to boost, can net you 12-13k per full evening. Never serve cheap stuff, you're not running McSushi. Max the most expensive dish for every evening. Your customers are all sushi-loving unemployed billionaires.

I would say that at beginning, recruiting all the staffs and send them for procure frenzy is more benefical than training a few for procuring, since staff have wage you pay every night depending on its levels-- regardless if they are not cooking/serving.

Some benefit a lot from training, some are bit lame. There's a guide with dispatch breakpoints also, useful.

Ohh that might help. I did manage to hire a guy with a trait that seems to help. Then I hired another 3 random people and just send them out every night.
