Let Us Hire! Solo Perspective.

[timothy855]

I only play solo. We need the ability to hire more. There's currently no one to man the drive-thru, work the cash register, make drinks, etc. It would be nice to just be able to hire a worker and then ASSIGN them various task (i.e. fry maker, drink maker, server, etc.). Like even give one person multiple jobs - but let us make that call. If their performance slacks, maybe then its time to hire another. Love the game so far, but it's too much to do it all. AI is powerful! Use it!

honestly, youre welcome to play solo but i dont understand the point of it. the game is DESIGNED for multiplayer, FOCUSED on multiplayer. if they take time away to cater to the few anti social solo players specifically, at this time, the game will suffer overall. once the game is much further along THEN they can maybe address the solo issues i would think.

just my humble opinion after having been involved in the industry for over a decade.

So humble. And thanks for your permission to play solo.
It's not an unreasonable ask considering there are already 2 AI helpers available and one on the way. I don't care what any self righteous "industry insider" says because the dev has already been developing options to balance for solo players.

Oh and forgot to give a +1 to the OP :)

He's not wrong though. It's the same concept as Squad or Arma. I hate the games because it penalizes you for playing solo.

This game is NOT HARD playing solo. Just stop doing ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ and you'll be fine.

My wife is bewildered how I have a 100% popularity rating and have zero issues playing alone.

If you look at the roadmap, you'll see they have plans to work on an AI Cashier.

Indeed it is. It is the one on the way that I mentioned.

This game will 100% not make a fraction of the amount as a multiplayer as it would if it was a decent single player. Multiplayer games have their place, but there are infinitely more single players out there.

I have not bought this yet, but would if it had some support for single player. It's clearly in it's early days, and the mechanics are....interesting (single person walks in, sits down a second person appears, doesn't eat, and vanishes when the first person is done - to make it look better in screen shots??? Then the ultra realism in cooking, but you can make every burger at the start of the day and then leave then on the side all day long). I've just unlocked mayonnaise and already it's turned into a fairly crappy time management game when playing alone....it's literally not possible. Which is a shame.

I would recommend street corner food simulator - not only can you upgrade the restaurant, it gets super regular updates and you can employ various kitchen staff to help, including cooking and cleaning. Cooking is more simple, but it feels more enjoyable as a single player.

It sure doesn't penalise me for playing single player, I'd rather play solo than multiplayer. Playing solo is way more fun and no this game is not solely focused only on multiplayer.
