This is my tenth guide. Woot, milestone. This guide is about the great game Restaurant Empire which is an underrated Sim game of running a restaurant and several of them while placiating customers. Great fun. At the time of this guide written, this games popularity has dropped to rock bottom, but there are players out there.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------ [1.02] Version History
Version 0.1 [15/3/07] Guide created. Did a small portion of the recipes.
Version 0.2 [16/3/07] Second update, more recipes added.
Version 0.3 [18/3/07] Breakfast recipes done.
Version 0.4 [19/3/07] Offically finished all French and Italian recipes.
Version 0.5 [20/3/07] All American recipes complete as well as Multicultural soups. Only multi- cultural appetizers, main courses and desserts to go under the recipes section.
Version 0.6 [23/3/07] Multicultural Appetizers are all completed. Only the multicultural main courses and desserts to go under the recipe section. After that, its going to be staff and then maybe furniture.
Version 0.7 [24/3/07] Finally, all recipes finished. Its amazing how much space this took. I don't expect the other sections to take too much more space. Might kill someone's bandwidth.
Version 0.8 [19/5/07] Been on the backburner for a while. Update needed.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2.01] Chef
These guys are the lifeblood of your restaurant. Without them, you will have no one to cook for you, and therefore, what business will you have. These people are essential to make money. I suggest 1 chef to about 80 customers. This is because if you are only going to have about 80, you don't have a really hectic day. But this however, depends on your hours and when you open and close. When you start to max out at over 400, you will need 4 chefs at least to make sure you can fill out the orders.
Of course, the chefs have many skills. There are 12 main skills and that is :
French Appetizers French Soups French Main Courses French Desserts Italian Appetizers Italian Soups Italian Main Courses Italian Desserts American Appetizers American Soups American Main Courses American Desserts
Well, how do you improve this? It is actually more complex than you think. You see, each recipe a chef cooks will have a rating based on your chef's skill in making it. Some chefs you hire are naturally skilled and therefore, have a higher rating in that recipe. Other chefs will need some training before they are ready to tackle it. However, the 12 bars above is the exact combination of all recipes in that class. For example, if your chef has a low skill in French Soups, that means, most, next to all, French Soups are low in skill. That means that he is not skillful. Let me get a more simple meaning of this.
The skills of the 12 are basically the rating of the chef's skill of that specific category of recipes. The skill is made of all the recipes skill for that chef put together. That means if he has a high rating, he may be skilled in all but can still be weak in others and vice versa. Thats a confusing one.
The next thing is that chefs can purchase ingredients off special people. This is done through a random event and this can be used when ordered to in a specific recipe.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2.02] Captain
These people are the other people who need to be hired. These guys will be the ones who will talk to your customers and give their bills. Customers will only make their orders to Captains and they will get their bills from the captain. However, the skill of the captain is important. If the skill is low, customers will complain about the poor service. I mean, you aren't skilled if you don't be nice to the customer. This can be done through staff training. The more skilled the captain is, the less complaints drawn against them.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2.03] Server
An important addition to the business. These people are those who serve the meals of the customers. They can carry up to 5 or so dishes and drinks from the serving table. You must remember that like the captain, your skill of the server will effect how your customers will judge him or her. This can be fixed through staff training. When you see the complaint that Server such and such was impolite, it means that he or she needs training. In the early part of the game, they will draw many complaints.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2.04] Kitchen Porter
These are the dish monkeys of the game. These are those who wish the dishes for you. You can either give them the sink to wash in, however, it has a chance that the dish will break, moreso with a lower skill level than a higher one. The dishwisher will not break dishes however. They will also move dishes into the little kitchen elevator. They will move the dishes into the dumb waiter and send the food upstairs so that the servers upstairs can deal with it. You can tell you have to hire another porter when the customers start to complain that their dishes are dirty. Then look at the amount of dirty dishes that you have.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2.05] Receptionist
The last member of staff. These people are those who will greet and meet with customers. Although they are not necessary to run the business, they are important to have. This is because you run the chance that the customer will just walk off when there is no receptionist. They have no idea where to go so just go somewhere else. Also, skill level, once again plays a role. You have a low skill, people will complain and so forth. You don't need a drill on that again. One will be more than enough for a restaurant, however large it is.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------ [3.01] Overview
Recipes are the heart and soul of any restaurant. Without any recipes, there are no dishes and what are you going to sell your beloved customers? Anyway this will lay out all recipes that are in the game with their ingredients, time cost, default price, requirements and description. Rating and price are not included because these aren't constant. Recipes such as French recipes - appetizers will house only FULLY FRENCH appetizers, not the ones under several cuisines. The layout will be in the following, what essential ingredients are need and how much. Then the optional ingredients and how much they are needed. Then the time need to make the dish, measured in clocks. What equipment it requires and then the default price of the dish.
