Storage in kitchen?

[ZanyScum]

How do you guys manage the storage for food?
My guys have to go to the storage room for every meal to get the ingredients.
There must be a better way. Any idea?

That depends on how large your menu is, and how many ingred you keep in stock. For me i look at my top sellers then i have two shelves for food in kitchen and the rest in storage. I make those shelves only contain the ingreds for my top items and set it to high priority. The ones in storage room i remove the ingreds from the storage list so they are never stored in there, Then i keep a third shelf in kitchen to only hold soap and plates.

It works for me but im sure others have other ways of doing things.

I generally don't have a storage room right away and just put shelves and beds in the kitchen until rich enough to add storage.

Even later with storage rooms I always keep storage space in my kitchens. And like Stephen I try to have the most used ingredients on them.

Commonly used items get stored in the kitchen. Rarer items sit in a storeroom.

To do this you have to set shelves to only hold 3-4 item types.

Thanks guys.

Btw, do you really create a kitchen or do you just put the cooking utensils in a part of the bar room? I am unsure now. Shorter paths, fewer places to clean, the fancy bonus on some of the kitchen utilities would not be wasted.

Is there a reason for a kitchen room?

I usually do a set up where the bar sits next to a door into a hall behind it. Then one one side of the hall is the food storeroom and the barrel storage (for lesser served drinks) then the kitchen on the other side of the hall. Then a door at other end of hall going outside to the well and delivery pallet.

Kinda like you would set up a real one where all the employee stuff is "in the back."

Firstly if you don't tick on the option to build everything in every room than you must build a kitchen to all the kitchen related items as you can't place them in any other room. With this option ticked on, which is recommended as the game is still buggy in that it won't allow you to place items in their appropriate rooms for whatever reason, a kitchen isn't necessary per se but many kitchen items actually have negative fancy so you'd rather keep them away from the main hall. Whether it's a kitchen, storage room or whatever else doesn't really matter too much.
