Question about menu sales

[VibroKnife]

I'm confused on if it's better to push out expensive items rather than a larger variety menu. It seems like guests are more apt to buy inexpensive items than expensive items when given the choice, but if I load the menu with all expensive stuff I still get about the same amount of customers.

I would think a menu too expensive would cause you to lose some traffic in customers, but that doesn't seem to be the case?

So lower tier menu items like reef fish are useless beyond beginning stage?

not sure if getting customers is based on cooksta level but im gold(? the one before plat) and i consistently get 31 customers-ish at the main branch and i server the green humphead curry every night.

yeah i would say lower tier food is useless once you get expensive recipes you can consistently make but if you can gauge how much you need for a night you can limit wasted food

Thats correct. Customers dont care about the price, so putting the most expensive dishes is the way to go. Also, its no necessary to use all the food slots of the menu, so you can make good money just by selecting 2 or 3 +$1000 dishes

There are only a set range of customers that come depending on your cookstar ranking.
They do not care about price and the taste value affect if you get likes for ranking up.

The goal is to produce enough to only sell your most expensive dish while leaving enough leftover to upgrade the dish. One thing to do is tranq the large sharks and get the salavge drone to take it away since it gives I think 27 meats for sharks so you get 54 meats throughout your whole day giving more than enough to feed every customer and upgrade the dish.

From my experience, the shark dishes were the best single sushi dishes and the best early combo dish is the deep fish tempura you learn after 1 of the vip quest.

Bei is a joke to get with the shark teeth game and the jade from 1st glacial cave and once you unlock all the farm tiles in the village you will always produce a large amt of kelp needed w/o rng that the surface farm has.
