Report, Statistics, Income Statement, Financial Graphs and Complaints.
Goals
The Goals panel is further divided into your
Goals, which are only available in the Campaign
game, and your current Score, which
is available in both game modes. Under
Goals you can see what objectives you need
to meet as well as the time remaining in
order to pass the scenario.
RESTAURANT POLICIES
Here is where you can set the opening and closing hours as well as change
your restaurant’s name. The normal opening hours are already pre-established
to open at 11:00AM and close at 10:00PM (9:00 is the last order time).
You can extend these hours so that your
restaurant can turn in more customers per
day, but bear in mind that your staff will
have to work more, and their morale can be
negatively affected as a consequence. You
can also determine whether your restaurant
allows table sharing. Table sharing is effective
in accommodating more customers in
your restaurant, but can negatively affect
your restaurant’s overall rating.
STAFF TRAINING
You can train your staff so they improve their skills and are able to attend
your customers better. Left-click on the Staff Training button. You will see a
list of all the restaurants you own as well as the monthly training costs and
the average staff skill levels for each restaurant. If you find the staff skills are
out of sync with your plans, you can left-click on the Monthly Spending bar
to set the desired training budget. You can also drag the bar left or right to
establish the Monthly Spending cost. In a few months your staff skills should
have improved greatly.
ADVERTISING

There are four traditional advertising mediums that you can use to
promote your restaurant:
