New Beginnings

New Beginnings
Open your restaurant for the first time.



Unlock this achievement during the tutorial after completing Hasel's checklist and clicking the "Open Restaurant" button.

In order to be able to open the restaurant, you will need to complete 4 steps:

1. place your food-related items from your inventory into the fridge
   
   
2. open the build mode (it is not a keyboard button but an on-screen button) and place the following items in your restaurant:
   
   
   • 1x table
     
     
   • at least 1x chair
     
     
   • 1x cooking appliance
     (you may need more depending on what recipes you are able to make with the ingredients you have in the fridge)
     
     
   • 1x countertop
   
   
3. hire a waiter
   (on the restaurant computer, navigate to the recruitment tab and select a waiter to be recruited. Keep in mind that there are also chefs among the options together with waiters, you do not need to hire a chef for this tutorial (you are the chef). To hire a waiter, select them, press yes when asked if you want to hire them, then navigate to the tab listing your restaurants' staff. Click "view unassigned staff" and then click on your waiter. Done!)
   💡Tip: if you don't have staff yet, you can reroll visible staff options for free by closing the recruitment interface and reopening it again.

Experience can be gained by doing various activities in the game, for example foraging or fishing.

This way, performing cooking actions will automatically increase your Cooking Stat. Social activities will only increase Social Stat. Harvesting, Fishing, Hunting, and Mining will increase the Gathering Stat. Most physical activities will slightly increase your Endurance Stat. Your player’s level is recalculated based on the 4 Stats combined (minus 10 due to the starting Stats)."
