Claim milestone rewards and the 15 gnomes

Several permanent bonuses are milestone claims or map clicks, not shop prices.

Update write-ups attach a milestone list to the Skills menu. The rewards below are the ones with a number attached. If your milestone text differs, follow the in-game requirement.

Reward Reported requirement Reported effect
2 Basic Sprinklers Harvest 1,000 crops Free watering
Windmill Harvest 25,000 crops Farming utility on the crop cluster
Food Pantry Serve 25,000 premium recipes Nearby cooks have a 15% chance to skip ingredients
Greenhouse Harvest 400,000 crops Nearby crops produce double
Host Station A customer milestone Nearby customers walk faster and arrive about 10% faster
Dinosaur Fossil A large cash milestone, 50M in one guide Customers at the register sometimes pay double
Register bonus 500M lifetime cash in one guide About 10% more cash at the register
Black-market stock Buy 3,000 black-market items The stall arrives with double stock

The food pantry is a known correction: a change log was quoted at a 25% no-ingredient chance, and the shipped reward is described at 15%. Plan around 15%.

The fossil's exact cash gate is not consistent across guides. One pins double register pay to 50M cash earned. Another only says customers sometimes pay 2x when they admire it. Read the milestone row you actually have before you chase a number from a guide.

Gnomes

Fifteen hidden gnomes are reported across the map. Click a gnome to collect it. No tool is required. Green gnomes are described as a permanent +1% cash bonus each. Other gnomes are described as a movement-speed increase or a cook-speed increase. Bonuses stack and stay.

Published location lists are not precise enough to copy as a map. They cluster gnomes around the shop inside and out, then add the spawn, the map center, a bush, under a chair, the map edge, and a spot near water where players fall in. Search those kinds of places, and do not treat a numbered "gnome 7" as a coordinate. Collect them before you spend heavily on appliances, because the bonuses apply to everything you do afterward.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What do you actually do in Run a Restaurant!?

Cook recipes, serve customers, build and decorate, farm crops, raise animals, and hire staff. The restaurant can keep earning while you are offline if that staff can finish the loop.

Who should a new player hire first?

Hire a cook if you are still cooking every plate, or a waiter if guests and finished plates are the delay. Add a cleaner when dirty dishes block tables. The manager waits until level 55.

Why is the kitchen suddenly selling rice?

Rice is the fallback when a fancier recipe is missing an ingredient. Keep a backup such as pumpkin soup enabled, and refill honey, milk, and pumpkin before you rely on pie.

Do promo codes give Robux?

No. The codes that were published give furniture, a Captain's Wheel and a Fancy Painting. Anything asking for your Roblox password is not a code redemption.
