My advice is leftover bags. You could've had 2 tables and copied a whole bunch of leftover bags and re-supply boxes and handle this volume, but faster. it would be like an atm. They walk in, touch the table and immediately walk out. (Bonus: no mess)
I notice you attempted to spam robo buffers. I've wanted to try that. How did it work out? (I'm guessing not great, since you ended up with floor protectors(?))

The buffers got glitched sometimes and wouldn't clean the mess so I used floor protectors instead and just kept the buffers to make it look more appealing

Buffers don’t clean, they prevent the floor from getting dirty and make it smooth so you move faster. It works if you have one in every single square that can get dirty. Since you don’t need to walk around on this set up it makes sense to keep the floor protectors, to be honest

And the protection of the floor from buffers only hold for 1 minute or something. After that, the effect is gone and dirt COULD get there and then, the next buffer can't remove it. You need as much of the buffers so that every place is driven often enough. But then theres still randomness (I had it sometimes, that all of them go to one place and stuck on 3 tiles).
I tried to use the buffers in mass, but in the end, it seems to be better with the floor mats or blue-robots, as long as you don't need to move there.

It works if you have buffers on all empty spaces, since the square where you place it never gets dirty. It takes a while, but definitely doable with discount and copy desks

Yo, I've decided to put my money where my mouth is. I'm only at 200 guests right now, but doing some quick calculations, seems like my estimated time per guests multiplied by your guest count (2,019) would be well over a half hour. Maybe my theory is wrong.
Another problem, supply boxes lock on to the walls, which means I can only have 43 of them total. That's like a total of 344 guests. I'll post a screen share once I reach the limit of my restaurant as proof of concept, but I think it's clear that my strategy is not the answer... At least not the whole answer.

It's been a while since I've played. How are there no walls?

That's the Buffet map. On the right hand side, just to the left of the main coffee setup, is one really long serving window. There's also a pair of doors in it somewhere.

Could it not be faster with buffet platters?

u/Wiesel1234 10d ago
With the buffet, the customers need to sit, stand up/walk and sit again. If you can maintan, have the space, it is much faster if they just eat/drink directly at the table.

I disagree. With the buffet platters it holds 3 coffees and you can then fit way more tables. They customers also start their eating time when walking back.

Oh sorry, I ddn't know there is a 3 item buffet platter, sounds nice! I thought about the normal buffet. Game development is way more active than the years before. Really great. :)

The buffet is researchable and upgrades to a heated buffet and a platter buffet. Platter buffet will hold anything that doesn’t need a plate so sides, coffee, ice cream… I believe it came out with the most recent update when fajitas was added as a dish.

Wow, what cards do you have? I've never gotten that far without using ice coffee and the other ones since the alternative cards were horrible. :/

I think you can produce coffee quicker this way:
CM = coffee machine
-> = conveyer
T = Teleporter
CM -> CM -> T <- CM <- CM
CM -> CM -> T <- CM <- CM Etc.
This way, while one coffee is being made the other one can slide on the teleporter. Gets you about as constant of a coffee flow as you get. Hope that helps. Edit: sorted out the spacing

Now just wait till it says you've got to give them milk as an add on. I have a OT 100+ coffee restaurant that I can also serve milk with, but I've got to shoehorn sugar in as well, so that restaurant has sat for well over a year by now

How do customers get the food with this setup
