Endgame / Replay Bugs & Cheats Manual Tips / Walkthrough


You begin the game with a set of 3 dishes and acquire more as the game progresses. While some dishes can only be received as rewards from customers, the primary way to get new dishes is through cooking. Cooking is also how you improve the quality of the dishes you serve (measured in stats).

Cooking, known as Develop Dish in-game, involves taking a base dish, one or two ingredients, and a chef to try it out. During the hours when the store is closed, your chef will work on the assigned task.

Ingredients are acquired from Pumpkin Products or from the ingredient hunts that occur four times a year (months 1, 4, 7, and 10). Various events in-game will reward you with recipes. However, you do not need to acquire the recipe in-game to make the new dish.
