Restaurant City for Facebook is an entrepreneur game that allows players to design and operate a sucessful restaurant. One of the most fun parts of game is the design feature. This allows you to completely customize your space however you like. While there are many other aspects of the game, the way you design your Restaurant City establishment can also greatly affect your customer satisfaction rating. Here is a complete guide to designingthecoolest restaurant on Facebook.
The first step before making any visual changes to your restaurant is determining your final vision. Decorating can be very expensive, but remodeling over and over can be even more expensive. Do you want to build a trendy burger joint? a luxurious steakhouse? pirate or haunted house theme? The possibilities are practically endless. Once you have established your goals, stick to it until you have pieced together your perfect restaurant.
The first thing that your Restaurant City customer sees is the exterior of your establishment. To design your building's exterior, go to the street and click on the decorate the building button. The first tab lets you pick the size of your building. The following tabs allow your to change the building roof, install new doors and windows, adjust the paint and brick style, and accessorize with wall hangings, trees, and fountains. Just drag and drop the items where you want them to purchase. You can also change the style and wording on your restaurant's sign.
Tip - The exterior has practically no benefit to game play other than ratings from other Restaurant City players. You should put off any exterior design projects until you are well established and have a good cash flow.
Tip - It is important to note that the foundation size can be changed at any time while keeping your other exterior modifications intact. It also has absolutely no effect on the actual interior size of your establishment.
The interior of your restaurant is where you will spend most of your time while playing Restaurant City. It is also where you will interact with your customers. When designing the interior of your space, be sure to keep your theme in mind. To make adjustments to the interior, enter your restaurant and click on the decorate button. There are many items from tables and chairs to wall paper and flooring. Take your time to explore all of the items before making your selection. You don't want to purchase an item and find out later that you like another one better.
Tip - Make sure that you select your purchases wisely. For example, there are several stoves available in Restaurant City. Unfortunately, they all cook at the same speed. For this reason, there is no sense in forking out $8,000 dollars for a stove that performs the same as the $200 model. Also, a drink dispenser is available for purchase. However, this is completely useless until you unlock drinks at level 15.
Tip - You can sell back some items by dragging and dropping them on the cash register. While this can be a good way to recoup money that you spent on the item, you will never get a full refund. Never make a habit of this. Its better to choose wisely the first time around.
Since your customers are your best asset, your restaurant should be designed to streamline and maximize employee performance and customer satisfaction. Here are several ways to design your restaurant to perform better.
Reduce time wasters - Time is money, right? Your employees can only take on so much work at a time. The goal is to eliminate time killers. Consider the time that it takes your waiter to walk from the stove to a customer's table to deliver a meal. If the table is on the opposite side of the restaurant, you have just wasted all of the time it took to cross the distance. Try placing your tables as close together as possible. I have found that the best layout is to create a small half circle of tables around your stoves. If done right, it will look just like a single countertop surrounding the kitchen area. This will enable your waiters to complete more task in a shorter amount of time.
Get more time to clean tables - When a customer enters the restaurant, they will immediately make their way to the first open table. If the table is dirty, they will wait a moment and then leave dissatisfied. Since the waiters are responsible for cleaning the tables as the previous customer leaves, you want to give them as much time as possible to tidy up. The help reduce the occurrence of this issue, position your tables as far from the restaurant entrance as possible. The extra time that it takes your customer to walk to their table should give your server a better chance of getting to the table cleaned in time. This can also apply to getting extra time for the cook to prepare the meal
Create a waiting area - If your customer does not see an open table when they enter the restaurant, they will wait a moment and then leave if nothing becomes available. To reduce walk-outs create a waiting area by setting several chairs along the wall. While this will only hold them for a short while, this may be just enough time for a table to become available.
Use obstacles to your benefit - Your goal is the keep customers in the restaurant as long as possible. This will reduce the chance of them leaving because a table was not available or the service was too slow. Use interior items as obstacles to slow down their procession toward the nearest table. This will give you more time serve other customers, clean tables, and cook meals. A great way to do this is to create a winding path of wall pieces that customers have to navigate before reaching their table.
Tip - While obstacles can be a great ally, they can also hinder your progress if not positions properly. In my restaurant, I found that no one would sit at this certain table. I soon discovered that the path to the chair was being blocked by another chair.
Designing your restaurant in Restaurant City can be fun and exciting. While adjusting the aesthetics of your restaurant is guaranteed to make you proud, maximizing the performance and use of the space is even more rewarding. This guide should give you good direction on how to best design the restaurant of your dreams.
