Prices make it hard to buy

So, it's fairly easy to achieve the franchise points, not so easy to buy the products to put out on the shelves because ..over 400$ for a box of sushi is a little crazy and it's one of my highest selling items. buying stock should be cheaper to make it more manageable and easier to buy the new products and replace items that sell out.

Yeah currently the point unlocks outpace the income coming in so you have to run the store a couple days to build up capital before adding a new set of items. That said you just need to save up enough for the shelf space and order 1 of each item, the amount of increased sales bumps up accordingly.

That said, the store should have a set menu similar to any of the cooking simulators. You have a list of what the store sells vs what the store CAN sell.
Unlocking a new tier of food shouldn't make customers suddenly notice a product not there.
However if you have placed a product already and a customer expects it, then yeah that's fair.

This would also lead to like an endgame where you can have the kind of store you want attracting certain customers. A liquor store might attract more thieves for example.

The more expensive the item's market price, the larger the profit margin.

Franchise experience has been a bit tweaked these last two patches but it's probably not very noticeable in games that are already advanced enough I guess.
