• The Gourmet Menu path is for the Michelin Star. You have to pick the most expensive prices on your menu. It will prevent you from adding Unpretentious dishes to your menu.
  
• The Affordable Menu path is for the Bib Gourmand. You have to pick the cheapest prices on your menu. It will preventing you from adding Gourmet dishes to your menu.
  
• Both Paths require your menu to offer only Gastronomic dishes.
  
• Choosing a Path is not blocking. You can complete both during the same playthrough. Simply change the price of your menu after completing the first Path to start the second one.

Your Path will take ~10-12 Days to be completed. Mid-way, Kassim will come yo tou, mentioning "we'll soon be in line for a distinction". Keep customer's ratings high until the achievement unlocks.

⚠️ Note on the Responsibility level, for the 2 following achievements

Keeping a high responsibility level influences positively the staff morale.
→ Make sure to never trash food: use the packaging option instead.
→ Avoid storage as much as possible (prefer just-in-time production by ordering fresh food everyday). If you must have stocks, make sure to use the oldest first. Do not allow food waste. It's preferable to pick the option that lowers the quality of your goods than throwing it away.
→ Prefer buying food from local suppliers.

Chef, Yes Chef!
Keep all three of your chefs at a happy morale level for 10 days in a row.


→ Always accept their requests: to take a day off, advance on salary, etc.
→ Put in place a daily staff rotation between who does the cleaning and who does the cooking (adjust it depending on their morale).
→ As soon as the sous-chefs arrive at the restaurant, assign one of them to prepare extras. Not 100% sure about this one, but cooking should please them more than cleaning; or at least be morale neutral (it avoids them having to deal with the cleaning)


Eco Warrior
Solve 10 dilemmas that raise your Responsibility level.


→ During random events (usually triggered by Max, the delivery employee, but can also be triggered by any other staff members) make sure to always pick the option that raises your Responsibility level.
