Getting Started

There are several important aspects to running a successful restaurant: Cooking Food, Serving Food, Keeping Customers Happy, and Customizing your restaurant.

Cooking Food
Cooking Food is super easy and super fun!
Step 1: find an empty oven and tap on it twice to open the cookbook.
Step 2: find the dish you would like to cook and tap on it to select it.
Step 3: prepare your dish by tapping on it to prepare or add the dish's various ingredients - once you have finished this step you will need to wait for your dish to finish cooking to continue.
Step 4: once your dish finishes cooking, tap on it again to add the final touches.
Step 5: tap on your dish a final time to move it to an available serving counter where it can be served to your guests.

Serving Food
Once your food is on a serving counter (as explained in the final step of Cooking Food), it will be served to customers automatically as they find empty seats in your bakery. If you don't have any available serving tables then you need to either a) buy more from the store, b) remove food from existing serving tables by tapping on it and choosing remove, or c) wait for your customers to eat all of the food off of one serving table.
Please note that identical food types will INITIALLY take up two serving counters, but if your serving counters are becoming full then your chef will combine your identical dishes to make room for new food.

Keeping Customers Happy
You can keep your customers happy by having empty seats for them to sit in and prepared food for them to eat. If there is no room for a customer to sit, then they will eventually become frustrated and leave the restaurant. If there is no food for them to eat, then they will eventually become frustrated and leave the restaurant. Make sure to have plenty of food and plenty of seats and tables waiting for potential customers - remember that happy customers will attract even more customers and that's just what you want!

Customizing Your Restaurant
You can customize your restaurant in any way that you like - it can be strictly functional with only tables, chairs, ovens, and serving counters, it can be purely decorative with no functional items, or it can be anywhere in between. To find items to place in your restaurant, open the store by tapping on the hammer in the lower right corner of the main screen.
Once the store is open you can browse the various categories and choose items in each to purchase and place in your store. To purchase an item you can either tap on it and tap again at the location you'd like to place it or drag it to where you want to place it and tap again to confirm.

Collectibles Guide

The Collectibles feature has been a favorite since it was instituted, but we get a lot of questions about it as well. With that in mind, we?ve composed a guide that will help you all understand how this new feature works.
Currently, the Collectible feature is only available on iOS devices, but this guide can still be helpful for Android players to prepare you for this feature. Check below the jump for more details!

What is a Collectible?
Collectibles are items that you collect for performing various actions in the game. There is a random chance for a collectible to drop while performing certain actions.

Where can I view my Collectibles?
When you receive a Collectible, it is stored until you have all of the required Collectibles to redeem the reward. You can view your current Collectibles and other information by viewing your collection from the Main Menu > Collectibles tab.

What is a Collection?
There are a number of Collections available for each game. Each Collection will require you to collect 4 specific Collectibles in order to redeem the reward. Each Collectible has a different drop rate, which means some Collectibles are harder to obtain than others.

How do Mastery Levels work?
Each time you redeem a reward, you are mastering the Collection. If you keep redeeming the rewards, you will eventually gain a Mastery Level and receive different bonuses! Each Collection has 4 Mastery Levels.

What Collections are in Restaurant Story?
There are 6 different Collections for Restaurant Story and each one has a different reward. We?re going to give you some tips on how to find the different Collectibles for each Collection!

Collection: Floral Bouqet
Collectibles: Rose, Orchid, Lily, Tulip
Reward: Flower Trophy
Tip: Randomly drops when purchasing Wall Decorations or Wallpaper.

Collection: Cooking Tools

Reward: 10,000 Coins & 1,000 XP
Tip: Randomly drops while cooking ANY Breakfast or Dessert recipe.

Create A Storm8 ID

Before you can add neighbours (explained in the Neighbours section) you must first create a Storm8 ID. To create a Storm8 ID open the Social page from the Main Menu and tap the Invite Friends tab. If you already have a Storm8 ID it will be displayed at the top of the page. If you do not have a Storm8 ID, you will have to sign up for one. Remember that when choosing a Storm8 ID this is what you will give to other players if you want them to invite you as a neighbour, so be sure that you choose wisely.

Note: Your Storm8 ID and password are important for recovering your Storm8 games in case you lose your device or games.
