So Clean You Can Eat Off the Floor

So Clean You Can Eat Off the Floor
Maintain a high level of hygiene in the restaurant for 5 days in a row

Chef, Yes Chef!

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

In order to achieve this you have to change the menu everyday or every 2 days to match the sous-chef specialty and tell them to make their specialty dishes to keep them happy. Also if they dislike cleaning the kitchen, they will also dislike washing the dishes while on service. You still can get the achievement eventhough the sous-chef sometimes have yellow morale when arriving at the restaurant.

Example :
Day 1
Menu = 2 meat dishes and 2 vegetarian dishes
Sous-chef = Adele and Jiro

Day 2
Menu = 2 fish dishes and 2 vegetarian dishes
Sous-chef = Kassim and Jiro

Day 3
Menu = 2 meat dishes and 2 vegetarian dishes
Sous-chef = Adele and Jiro
and so on

Another trick, you can wait until all your sous-chef arrived at the restaurant, and check which one is dislike cleaning the restaurant so you can put the menu for the one that will help you as sous-chef. Also always accepting your sous-chef request to leave the restaurant to keep their morale high.

You have completed all the achievement! Here’s your MICHELIN Star 😌

[ChurchHillPearl]

Thanks! I'll let you know what happens!

[just_in_key]

@ChurchHillPearl i see, you still can get the achievement even when the game automatically force the sous chef to clean the kitchen when they arrived and being upset, just make sure to not put the one that upset about for “doing the dishes” when it’s about to do the service. As long as ure not getting the “all three sous chefs being upset” at the same time about cleaning, it’s going to be fine. Also always accept when they ask you about leaving the restaurant and make sure told they to do their speciality dishes

[ChurchHillPearl]

Thanks for responding. To give you a little more detail, I've actually starting charting who does dishes and who cooks doing service. I seem to encounter a problem on the next day. All the cooks are happy and come in at noon but the game will auto assign them to cleaning before service which will prompted whoever gets selected to be upset. In my last attempt, I'm literally trying to block the kitchen in attempt to reshuffling them from cleaning before they walk in the kitchen and get auto assigned. All of my Chefs are Level 20 BTW but I still make sure the menu has their favorite dish as well.

[just_in_key]

@ChurchHillPearl Hi! Is it just one chef who’s upset, or are all the chefs upset? If all of them are upset even after you’ve reshuffled them for cleaning, you could try by only reshuffled adele and kassim for cleaning, if they’re all three still upset about it, I’d suggest the only solution might be creating a new save file

[ChurchHillPearl]

Chef, Yes Chef! is the only achievement/trophy that escapes me. I've tried changing the menu everyday, every other day and by the 4th-5th day a chef is upset because they have to clean the kitchen prior to actually serving. My responsibility level never goes down because I only buy local so the morale is always high. I can't figure this out to save my life.

[just_in_key]

@Marot sadly the event was very random and it took me quite a while too, the only thing you can do is continue playing until u get the random event and just make sure to always pick the one that raises the responsibility, and i believe there is no limit

[Marot]

for "Eco Warrior", I found that I hardly see the random events. At first, I think it may because my Responsibility is too high (full), then I do something to make it be zero, but I still can't see any random events about Responsibility. I don't know it there is any limit about this achievement.

[ModerNertum]

@Anatea, as I said previously you can "clone" a save to a different slot if you know how the save system works for this game. I did this myself for the different decorations and menu types I would normally serve at my restaurants but without having to redo the kitchen layout all over again.

[just_in_key]

@Aratea u can get both and no need to start over, after u finished getting "a star is born" just change the menu to the cheapest one to get "foodie favorite" for 10-15 services, and u will get it

[Aratea]

@just_in_key a star is Born and and foodie favorite
