Want to earn millions per hour? Here’s how to optimize every aspect of your restaurant for maximum profit.
Best Profit Recipes
Cook these for the highest margins:
| Recipe | Cost (Ingredients) | Sell Price | Profit |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rice Bowl | ~3 | 15 | +12 |
| Burger | ~15 | 50 | +35 |
| Pizza | ~20 | 65 | +45 |
Rule: Always cook your most profitable recipe. Once you unlock Pizza, stick with it.
Staff Optimization
- 1 Waiter is essential — serves all tables automatically
- 1 Chef at Level 10+ — auto-cooks while you manage other tasks
- 1 Cleaner — keeps tables available for new customers
Offline Income Maximization
Your restaurant earns while you’re away. To maximize:
- Have all staff hired before logging off
- Ensure tables are clear and food is stocked
- Upgrade appliances to max efficiency

Gems Strategy
Gems are the premium currency. Best uses:

- Speed boosts for timed events
- Rare decorations from Black Market
Never waste gems on small cash purchases — the conversion rate is terrible.
