Nobody eat cooked food.

I'm having this problem that I can't feed my patrons.
A voice keep coming saying I have little food.
I mainly have outlaws and I build a kitchen and crafted some food that outlaws like.
And Still after half hour of game no one ate that food.
Then I crafted another type of food to other kind of people, and no one ate also. Now i'm low on cash.
What to do?

ok, so two things:

1) have you actually added these food items to the menu? If you don't add them, they won't buy them, even if they are craftable.

2) have you set your prices such that people will actually buy the food? for most foods, setting prices where they are just barely happy is enough to have sales, but a few foods, like moss dumplings need a much lower price.

[Satinav]

Yes, I put both food into menu.
I didn't set the price. I let the price default.
Should I lower the price?
I'm cooking grilled sausage and Bread Soup.

Cooking all the food in the world wont make any difference if the customers are not ordering it. Perhaps instead of wasting all your ingredients pre-cooking food that ends up just sitting around. Wait for customers to order what they want and have your staff cook and serve as needed.

yes, default prices aren't always ideal. general rule: if your food isn't selling, you should lower prices. I usually pre-make a set number of a food items and wait to see if it is selling at all before i make more. if not, i lower prices.

Also, there are 2 journal perks that increase the # of $$ your patrons are willing to pay for food. when you choose this, you can increase prices, if you are currently selling well.

With the 2 perks chosen, i am charging 68 for bread soup, but without the perks, i'd be charging at least 10 $ less...
