Do Not Plan An Extravagant Menu
As a beginner, you may get enticed to choose more extravagant dishes. However, it’s not practical to do so when you are a rookie. You may lack the money to purchase expensive ingredients, so prioritize recipes with the affordable tag.
You should also choose recipes with an easy tag, as that will help you get familiar with the kitchen properly before you attempt harder ones. They are also quicker to make, so you will have fewer customers getting angry.
In the tutorial, you can pick expensive recipes if you like to make money. If you are short on cash, the guide will provide you with some.
Take Time To Prep
Taking a few minutes before opening your restaurant can really help you in Cooking Simulator 2. It will help you complete dishes much faster.
You don’t need to prepare all of the dishes early, but make sure to have a few basic ingredients sliced and ready to cook. Make sure to also store your ingredients correctly to keep them fresh; for instance, you will want to store meat in the fridge.
Gather Ingredients First
After you pin a recipe, your first step should be to gather all ingredients at once. This will help prevent the gameplay from feeling like a walking simulator as you go from the pantry to the kitchen.
Gather all ingredients at once and then unload them all on the table. Keep them nearby so the process is faster. You should also utilize the Chef Holster and have at least a knife and other basic tools in there.
Follow The Recipe Precisely
For starters, you should try to be precise with the recipe. This includes cutting your ingredients in the right cut, cooking them for the correct time and at the correct temperature using the right tools.
If you execute a recipe well, customers will tip you more, and you will get more profit. You can make tweaks to a recipe as well, but don’t get too abrupt with it as a rookie; stick to smaller changes.
Stock Up Adequately
After you pick a menu, you need to make sure that you have all the ingredients and utensils you need to cook a dish. They are shown on the left side of the screen. Make sure not to overstock or purchase unnecessary items. Stock products that you are running out of as well.
While you can spend money on kitchen upgrades to get better features. You should not do it unless you make sure you have enough cash for all the ingredients you need.
Communicate Well With Your Partner
Cooking Simulator 2 has co-op features, which can be helpful but can also turn against you. Make sure that you and your partner are on the same page, or too many chefs might cause chaos in the kitchen.
Generally, it’s better to divide tasks amongst yourselves, so while one focuses on prepping, the other can focus on cooking, making the overall process convenient.
Perks And Skills
Get skills and perks to make your gameplay less tedious. For skills, if you don’t mind other minor inconveniences, you should focus on skills that will help you earn more profit, such as “bulk buying” and “dish of the day.”
Your perk slots are limited, so if you think you have enough skills to earn money, you can use perks to make the kitchen processes convenient. Focus on completing quests to earn more Renown and Seals.
