I can see I'm going to hit a brick wall soon and game play will come to a complete stop. Why would you put both cooking items and upgrade items in the same storage areas? It's not big enough for both. At least Restaurant story 2 has 2 separate storage areas, because it's needed. I'm only at level 10 and haven't opened the coffee shop yet and I'm already having a really hard time being able to buy enough cooking items to actually make a recipe. Some of these recipes call for several items and I can't hold them all in order to make it. My coffee shop will be ready in just a few minutes but I'm dreading it cause I won't have space to buy anything from it. This really needs to be changed.

Especially since I can already tell that you will need more and more upgrade items the further you level up. I don't want to have to make the choice to either hold food and delete all upgrade items so I can make money, or not buy food in order to hold all the upgrade items. Should have to make that choice. If it comes to that I'll just stop playing as it will simply be too frustrating.

Also needs to be an easier way to get needed upgrade items than the occasional gift from that person or to go orders. Especially with such limited space. I can't afford to get a bunch of one item and keep waiting to get the one item I need just to upgrade something. Needs to not be random. I'd love to upgrade my storage shelves but I keep getting coin from the random people and am waiting on the shelf thing. Until I get the shelf item to use to upgrade with I'm rather stuck already. I shouldn't already be stuck at level 10. It's only going to get worse from here.

Also the cost to "unlock" a new recipe is way too high. We have to pay lots for the new machine/building, then pay to unlock the new ingredients. I finally do that and get what I need to make the new item only to be slapped with a message saying I can't make cause I don't have the several thousand coin to make it. Are you serious? Now I'm stuck with ingredients taking up space that I can't use until I make more money, but I can't make any other recipes cause my storage is full with the ingredients I can't use. It's way too frustrating. I don't want to trash the new ingredients since they cost so much money to unlock in the first place. So it's too much of a lose, lose situations. Makes the game not fun.
