Chef Life: A restaurant simulator immerses you in the world of a restaurant’s life cycle, from a small-time establishment to a Michelin-starred establishment. Developing the abilities needed to successfully manage your restaurant’s finances, ingredient logistics, cuisine preparation, and time management. For many restaurant operators, employee management is proving to be a stumbling obstacle. In this essay, we will break down the problems and requirements for your team.
Experience and leveling
The leveling mechanism used by your squad is distinct from conventional game leveling. Your character will gain experience by accomplishing challenges and volunteering for a night. By accomplishing prep chores, your staff will receive experience, but their levels will be limited. You must fulfill each character’s tale missions to proceed to the next level. The experience gained will continue to accumulate, and your sous chef will progress as far as they can to the next cap.
Important things
Make sure to not upgrade the following items too quickly, or progress will be affected.
- Beef Bourguignon – only upgrade after completing Adele’s quest “Learning the basics” and only upgrade once, else it will have an effect on her next quest, Steeper Learning Curve..
- Beef and potatoes – only improve once otherwise Adele’s questline will be harmed.
- Cacio E Pepe (Spaghetti with Italian Cheese) – Wait till Kassim: Testing the Waters is finished before updating.

He specializes in seafood cuisine.
