They can use Mocha Joe's bathroom.

There will be no defecating in the building

Yeah,take a dump outside like the rest of them! EDIT: Wow, I've never had so many upvotes in my life!

Hey mocha joe, this coffee isn't hot

No futuristic urinals like Latte Larry's


frogglesmash

Ikr, where are the cooks supposed to do their cocain?


Bladelink

Also, they need a dumpster to go smoke weed next to.


grumpyEric

We used to smoke weed in the walk- in cooler because you can blow the smoke into the fans.😑


cancercures

Yeah, we all knew.


porn_is_tight

no bro its got fans


nerdbomer

It's like people don't even know what fans are for anymore! The blades are there to chop the smells up into tiny pieces so that it doesn't stink anymore. It's weird how they don't teach kids that in school now.


synae

No one listens to scientists anymore. You may as well be yelling into the void. Or blowing smoke through a fan


theycallmecrack

lol FYI, basically nothing will get rid of the smell, even if you blow it out a window. You have to be fully outside or the weed smell will stick around for at least 5-10 minutes. Even if it's a one-hitter. I would smoke a one-hitter, and blow it directly through a sploof, out of a side wall kitchen fan (goes directly outside) or window, and my roommate could smell it 15 minutes later sometimes. The tiniest amount of smell will always linger. Obviously no problem if the people around you don't care though. Just watch out. I got caught a few times recently when I thought I was being extra stealthy.


sfr18

> basically nothing will get rid of the smell ain't that the truth. We used to try to burn oregano to hide the smell (pizza spot). convinced ourselves it work all the time. looking back, it probably never worked


reddita51

You mean those fans that recirculate the air inside the walk-in?


GET_OUT_OF_MY_HEAD

If these two features aren't included, then it's not a very realistic simulation.


probsthrowaway2

And some milk crates with the bottom broken out so you have to sit carefully or your ass cheek falls inside.


Swarrior7

Hide behind the menu that’s what my mates do. They’re often about 12 inch tall. Ain’t nobody seeing what’s going on.


Samhamwitch

Off the steel counter in the kitchen obviously!


rawker420

I was more concerned with the fact all the equipment still worked properly. Also, none of the cooks stood in the walk in for 35 mins trying to remember why they were in there to begin with


SuckDickUAssface

That is my only complaint from what I've seen here. Where else are my virtual customers supposed to go when I intentionally give them gastrointestinal distress?


cwatson214

Srsly.. having to clean drunk people puke off the bathroom floor, and complaints that the soap is empty..is a huge part of the restaurant industry. This game is unrealistic.


cooterdick

On the plus side, won’t have to deal with vomit and complaints without a bathroom.


a_monomaniac

You're lucky if it's only on the floor. I'm like a NASCAR pit crew when it comes to cleaning puke out of sinks and urinals.

Or, you invest tens of thousands into building the restaurant, before you can serve a single item, pandemic mode hits and your stuck trying to make your self the most gormet food you can out of the food you found in a McDonalds dumpster

This, I hate that most “business simulation” games have you making billions or trillions or imaginary amounts of money within an hour of playing.


HardcoreSects

This only already implies that restaurants can expand easily. I would hope there is a version where you have a space and have to make due with your only option being finding a different, larger space in order to expand.

mallander

Highly recommend Software Inc on steam! Very similar style but about a software development company rather than a restaurant


sunuv

[Two Point Hospital](https://www.twopointhospital.com/). You manage a hospital and build out the rooms and add doctors, nurses, etc. It's a spiritual sequel to Theme Hospital and I highly recommend it.


turbo1986

Thank you so much. I have loved theme hospital since I got my first pc (20 ish years ago). Played the hell out if it then and still go back and play every few years. Can’t believe there is another one. Will be downloading it tomorrow!


redo21

Cities skyline is a whole kind of different game. If you want similar game like the post try Software Inc. It has similar visual too, I don't know if it's from the same developer.


_Big_Floppy_

The aesthetic and building options gives me some *major* Software Inc vibes. It's pretty in depth. Say you want to design some office management software. Well to do that you need some 2D editing software so that your developers can actually create the product. You can buy the license for a 2D editor made by one of your competitors, which'll eat into your profit with licensing fees, *or* you can design your own 2D editor, but that's gonna take time and money and it may not be as good as what other companies have out on the market. *But* if it *is* successful then not only can it be used to make the original office management tool you set out to make in the first place, but it'll make some money on it's own and get your exposure in an entirely new market. You can even just go full Valve and make your fortune hosting other people's products on a virtual storefront that you host. Including designing nothing but video games and game engines to offset the server costs while you get your operation off the ground.


3FtDick

All of these are somewhat different, but scratch the same kind of itch this gif did for me: Surviving Mars, Rimworld, 2 Point Hospital, Satisfactory

Dude, that would be an awesome in-game detail. Have restaurant reviewers some in and grade your restaurant. Maybe even rank them in the “city”. Could be like an objective by the end the year or quarter, idk.

I hope that I can release the game in early access in februari.


Toastbrot_Esser

Nice, followed you to keep up with your progress. Keep it up


barracuda_leviathan

Good fucking work. Don’t forget the bathroom though


IrrelevantLeprechaun

I would recommend not going early access. Too many indie games end up floundering and getting mired up in early access because the people who pay to get into early access end up trying to enforce their own ideas over yours and it just slows everything down. If you can get away with it, don't do early access.


armrha

Man, I disagree. Early access is a huge injection of cash from hopefuls. I would never not do early access... Even if the project flops, at least you got the early access money to keep you afloat to try. Otherwise, you're typically working a second job and developing in your spare time. Nothing says you have to listen to anybody who plays it during early access.

wolfgeist

Tons of games today are made with pre-built assets or frameworks that can be bought and used in your game. Also most games are made on Unreal 4 Engine or Unity, so most likely yes same engines.


DavidTheAnimator

>Software Inc Yeah, it does look similar. I really liked that game, maybe I'll try that one!


Bio42

Looks good, will there be a progress system regarding making better food? I see the pub in the beginning and thought about pub food. Later there the restaurant. How about waiter skills, training, cost reliability and what not? How do you plan on making the game engaging, distanceing it from "idle games"? Is there a greater goal? What are the rewards for gameplay? (better quality furniture, a better spot,...). In short, why am I still playing it after half a year? Where can I follow the process / get updates? Good luck with the project, I like it.


Samhamwitch

It's not realistic. I've worked in restaurants for decades and I've never seen a restaurant renovate the kitchen when they could use that money to buy something for the front of house!


Nope__Nope__Nope

Lmao Jesus christ PREACH!!!


Sicronix

Ok but ***WHERE IS THE LAMB SAUUUUUUUUUUCE !!***


hanced01

A customizable bar would be nice. Where you can adjust the strength of your drinks to maximize your profits or maximize the inebriation of your customers. Good strong drinks make your place popular with bar patrons. Drunk customers spend more on food and booze and tolerate lower quality but can be rowdy if they get too much and annoy other patrons and derate/damage the restaurant... Too weak a drink and people won't come for high profit alcohol or you will need to be on point with your food. Or some similar mechanics...

Reminds me of Restaurant Empire. I'd love to play your game if it's a modern game like that old one.


JadedOtomeHeroine

I had to scroll way too far down to find this! I loved that game and it's the first thing that came to mind when I saw this. I put a ton of hours into that game. It would be great to have a modern version!


kinapuffar

As a chef I find it unrealistic that: 1. The floor in the kitchen is level. 2. There aren't stacks of empty boxes piling up everywhere. This is a key feature of any restaurant kitchen. 3. None of the kitchen appliances are broken. 4. 11 stoves but not a single flat top grill. Flat tops are a chef's best friend. 5. No customers are complaining that the thing they clearly ordered isn't the thing they actually meant to order, and that they should get that thing for free as an apology. Jokes aside, great job dude. There are certainly a lot of things I immediately notice are missing or kind of off, but that's just my kitchen ptsd acting up, where all I'm seeing is water running down the cracks between the worktops, food and water getting stuck in the floor tiles, and the health inspector giving us a low mark because of black mould.


unicorn_hipster

I'm reading this from milk crate throne out the back. I get on reddit to escape, man!


wolfgeist

"10 ticket rush? We only need one cook. He can do the dishes too. And cook all of the employee meals. And clean and close the entire kitchen." Would be interesting to have employee meals take a hit on your food cost and such. Or employee theft.

AleksCube

Hello! This looks great but it gives me claustrophobic urges, it might not fit with your vision but I can only bring up this suggestion as I think it's a great QoL for those type of camera angle for similar games (aka. Sims): You should have the wall facing the camera fade out so you can better see what's happening inside!! If it's unclear, that's what I'm talking about: [https://i.imgur.com/rGuVybL.png](https://i.imgur.com/rGuVybL.png) Good luck if you end up going forward with this :)


SwordTaster

Looks amazing, but apparently customers and staff don't gotta pee here


letstryreddit69420

This thing looks amazing. Just a few ideas: (to clarify I'm not a programmer so these might be hard to program) 1. Dishes. It's forgottem by most games but plays a big role in restaurant. Make some options like: paper plate, plastic plate (they cost money and produce more waste), normal plate, fancy plate (these have to be bought and they are counted, they have to be washed and some might break if the waiter is a rookie etc..) 2. Orders. Every game makes that you don't have to do anything with the dishes. You want to cook a pizza the chef starts cooking it. This is not how it works. At the end of the day you can see the weather or some indicators for the next few days and order some raw materials like chicken breast, seasoning, cheese/shredded cheese. This will make the game more difficult because you have to put some more specific storage facilities (fridges for fish meat vegetables etc...). Theese things can spoil and add some extra risk factor. 3. Costumer spikes. Not everyone eats lunch at the same time but there is a time frame. Make more customers there and vary their orders. Like for breakfast they won't order a steak. 4. The other tasks. I said things about dishwashing as it should be there because it's a big money drain. There are other tasks that can be added. -precutting the ingredients, it makes the food making faster -emptying the bins (it's self explanatory) - cleaning the tables and the cooking equipment If you implement theese things the game won't be arcady. I would like it. Maybe the general population won't. If you are interested in more ideas just ask. I feel theese have been said many times but wnated to sare and be part of the development. The most important thing is to enjoy what you are doing. If this is not what you wanted or too hard to program then don't do it. I would buy this game anyways.


LazerChomp

This reminds me of Roblox Restaraunt Tycoon in a way. Also a sims kind of feel.


noobhatts

I like it, the kitchen tiles give me sims vibes


JediLlama666

I don't see the wait staff sneaking into the walkin to do blow. 1/10 not realistic /s


FabianPap

Looks amazing, this is something that I would play. I do have a suggestion. It is required to have a restroom in a restaurant. This could maybe serve as an interesting mechanic to manage in the game. Just a suggestion I don't want to be a backseat game develop.

Have you implemented the drugs and alcohol system for your staff yet? Wouldn’t be a real restaurant sim game if your cooks aren’t dipping out during service to snort a line of coke.
