• Improved performance 0.4.2

Hello workers!

Trash bins now fill up, item handling is smoother, trays are easier to prep, and customers react more accurately with new voice lines and tip bonuses. Difficulty has also been overhauled: easier for beginners, more challenging for experienced players, and more rewarding for skilled work.

Cleanup is no longer instantaneous. Kitchen bins and customer receptacles now fill up gradually. If a bin hits 100%, it’s blocked until someone deals with it. Don’t let it sneak up on you!

Interact with a full bin to pull out a trash bag, then haul it outside to the dumpster to clear the bin and keep things moving.

You can now place single items from a held stack, letting you prep or arrange things one at a time without juggling the whole stack.

Holding items and aiming at a stack? You’re in control:

• Grab the whole stack without putting down your items.

• Or merge the aimed stack into your hand.

Preparing a tray for customers is now smoother. Grab a tray and right-click items to add them while holding it. Or continue placing items onto a tray on the counter the old way.

We’ve adjusted the difficulty settings: easier for beginners, harder for experienced players, and more rewards for skilled play.

• Faster service now earns extra tips. Speed pays off!

• Trainee: Customer patience doubled, making the easiest difficulty more forgiving.

• Supervisor: 10% more customers than before.

• Manager: 35% more customers than before. Harder, faster, and more chaotic.

• High popularity now brings even more customers, rewarding your skill at keeping the restaurant busy.

• Higher difficulties grant more money, with bonuses visible when creating a game.

Customers aren’t just shouting their happiest lines for every order anymore. Their reactions now actually match how well you did. Mid-quality orders trigger a whole new set of “that’s fine” voice lines, while perfect orders unlock the extra-happy reactions and fun new popup comments above their heads. And with the new tip system, playing well doesn’t just feel better, it pays better too!

• You can now open and close boxes or packages while holding them.

• If a tray has a receipt on it, you can hover over the tray to see the order. No need to aim directly at the receipt anymore.

• Bun halves can be reassembled, you can now put the top and bottom halves back together.

• You can now adjust the volume of all customers voices in the audio settings.

• Now when you level up, a pop-up appears in the center of the screen, celebrating your progress.

• The little crow trinket on the counter is now interactive. Give it a pet and hear it croak!

• You can now press E while looking at the counter monitor to accept orders instantly. No need to aim precisely at the accept button.

• If you leave the delivery truck empty without sending it off, it will eventually leave on its own.
