How I see you

Ever wanted to run a restaurant? This is a great way to do so! Not to mention, the cute employees that are all cats! I think everyone should see what its like to run something, from the “Owners” point of view. There are so many little nuggets of wisdom one can learn from this game. Let’s look at all the areas of your business: 

Fishing Hole: Here you use the lake to catch fish. You use the fish to attract vendors to the lease signs, that you have to create once you demolish the rocks. You get cod or plates as payment. Here is the home of Fisherman Rabbit. 

Garden: The wish fountain is not only for your customer but for you too. Here houses two employees: Hedwig, carrier of mail, and the little prince cat tending the rose garden. You grow flowers, display them, and store them-as you will need them to get other resources or draw in a specific customer.  

Restaurant: Customers come in, Jiji the waiter takes their order. Dori, the promoter brings them in with marketing. They pay, tips are collected up top, and before you head on down you can also stop by the dessert bar, coffee bar, and bar. 

Buffet: Looking for quicker food? Why not a buffet! Here, a temp worker Yolky, keeps an eye on the conveyer belt, gachapon, self serve drink machine, and ice cream machine. You unlock some customers by spending cod or plates at the gachapon, and unlock buffet plates using plates. 

Kitchen: Too many cooks in the kitchen? Well, to be fair-the kitchen is the heart of any restaurant business. Here we have Chef Gumi, Eggy the handyman, Apricat the sweeper, Timmy the server, and lucky the cashier is chasing cod. Otherwise you have standard equipment: Stoves, trash can, cupboard, storage, oven, racks, counter. The more you upgrade your kitchen, the more dishes you can make. 

Takeout: To go orders are all the rage these days. Here we have: Support Chef Meow, who oversees Delivery Boy Tate and Delivery Girl Kate. Here a bad order means a bad review. Quality and speed is everything. Here you get likes and bells, used as currency. 

Courtyard: Gather around! There is live entertainment, games for the kiddos, and so much more! Here you get stars, cod, or film-all used as currency to get or upgrade existing facilities. 

Some of the tidbits I love from this game: 

- It takes money to make money

- Everyone matters, from the fisherman to the vendor to the customer. 

- Use resources to create other needed resources or income

- All things feed into each other. 

- Waste not- even outdoor space can make you money

- Indoor is as important as Outdoor. 

- The bigger the business, the more help you need. 

- The help is as important as the customer. 

- Once you have your basics, upgrading is costly. 

- Better tools, more opportunities. 

- Have a multifaceted business, so it can survive things like COVID.

- You only get one first impression, do it right. 

- Pay your people, they are the reason your customers have a place to go that is functioning.
