What is Cook?

The cook works the stove and prep stations. Early on, cooking every rice bowl yourself is the long part of a table turn. A first cook is widely described at about $100. Training adds cook speed at levels 3, 5, and 7, about 5% each, and level 10 adds a chance to cook without using ingredients.

How do you get Cook?

Hire from the Manage menu once you can pay the wage. Buy this before decor if you are still cooking every order.

How do you use Cook?

Keep the stove within a step of the cook. Add another cook when every stove is busy and waiters are waiting on food, not when tables are simply dirty. Stop training on 3, 5, 7, or 10.

FAQ

Cook questions

Should every worker go to level 10 immediately?

No. Most bonuses sit on levels 3, 5, 7, and 10, only three staff can train at once, and the worker is away while training. Fill the breakpoints that match your bottleneck first.
