Fastfood Restaurant Tips:
-------------------------
Tips for Fastfood Restaurant
-=Furniture=-
* Ika Bohag has all the furniture you need (chairs, tables etc.).
* Make sure you are picking a table and not a desk! A desk can only
have one chair. Tables are also cheaper.
* Customers will also just sit in chairs and eat without tables.
Good for making a diner style layout.
-=Storing burgers=-
* Use normal storage racks. If you buy goods from wholesale that are in
boxes, they always get stored on a normal storage rack.
You don’t need fridge or freezer.
-=Grill’s yellow/red icon=-
* The yellow icon is likely indicating you are low on inventory. If it
is red it means it is out of stock.
-=Where to get a dustbin
* Trash bin is at AJ Pederson and Son, the appliance store on 5th avenue.
How to Optimize the Business of Lawyers:
----------------------------------------
It seems no one has said this yet, but there are some other ways.
A 10 capacity office business will basically never have 10 customers per
hour, so there is no need to hire 10 lawyers. I’m sure some of them might
be sitting there and wasting away.
The highest I’ve seen in a 24/7 law firm is 3 per hour, this was in a 75
capacity building, meaning that at the lowest hours there only needed to
be 3 employees working.
You can check this by looking at the graph in the bottom right of the
‘Insight’ tab and pressing the ‘yesterday’ button on it. Lawfirms get
slightly more customers on saturday/sunday, so beware!
I’ve only opened up 10 lawyer offices in Hell’s Kitchen and garment district,
I’m not sure if Midtown has better customer flow or how much difficulty
affects it, but there is a lot of room to manipulate lawyer shifts so that
you don’t have a lot of employees wasting money.
At one point on hard mode, I had a 60k net average daily 5 person law firm,
with a 6th person working on the weekends.
I think I have a 20-30k net average one right now in garment but I haven’t
checked it lately because garment is terrible for this and I just left it
alone after setting it up. I can only get three customers per hour here and
only during 11 hour shifts, which sucks, but it works.
Some store types are quality over quantity, or price over quantity, one of
the members on the discord called it a ‘Fill rate’, assuming you have no
competitors in the district and 100% indexes, a jewelry fill rate is
apparently like 35% of capacity.
Other stores, like fast food, are quantity-based, meaning it’s easier to
have a full 30 people in there making lots of small purchases.
Tips to Save Money on Cleaning:
-------------------------------
You can just only hiring part time cleaners, one per building that you have.
Hire retail assistance with some cleaning skill, then i add them to clean
for an hour before opening then they stand by the till once the shop is open.
Cleaning skill % means how much that employee can clean in an hour. It’s mentioned
somewhere under “?”. It’s not uncommon for some customer care employees to have
like 17% cleaning. Which could be trained for a day to 27% to almost double the
performance there. Not enough for larger fast food restaurant with high customer
capacity, but the giftshop should be able to do just fine with 1..2 h cleaning
after a single shift or a whole day.
Putting a customer service employee with a cleaning skill of like 15% on the
cleaning station for 2 hours everyday. and have had no issues. cleaning employees
aren’t that necessary if you have a customer service employee who also has a bit
of cleaning skill.
Delivery Contracts Guide:
-------------------------
When you select a business in BizMan, there is a section called Deliveries
with a heading “Delivery Contracts”. What is this for? Read below.
-=How It Works=-
You can setup a contract with local delivery from like NY distro INC where
they deliver daily to your store. But it’s inflated costs, I wouldn’t recommend.
If you’ve got a large operation that small 20 box contract likely won’t make up
for a warehouse and some vans or trucks. It’s good for smallish stores that don’t
move much merchandise, but if you sell a lot of any product, a logistics set
up with drivers is probably better.
I have noticed that you can order that wholesale contract multiple times for 1
store so maybe you can get enough goods delivered to stock a large store (but I
haven’t really tested it). It would be easier than the logistics route but I
don’t think the game was meant to be played that way so it may not work, lol.
If you do not use all the merchandise before delivery you’ll probably clog the
businesses shelf with one type of product after a period of time using wholesale
contracts.
-=How to Cancel=-
Disable it in the BizMan menu under the businesses delivery tab. Pretty sure
there is a red toggle somewhere in that menu as well.
Happiness Explained:
--------------------
The annoying employees that ask for a peaceful work environment require 50%
happiness, there is like no other reason and it can be just ignored.
It’s not a complaint, it’s just one of the requirements that they can have
like “part/full time”
Typically better just avoid those ones because it’s annoying to micromanage your
happiness for no real benefit.
You can also enter a sad period if your happiness level is 0% which means you
can’t enter any buildings except your house or car. I recommend at least keeping
your happiness level at least 25%.
How Does Marketing Works:
-------------------------
Written by Kyle
Marketing affects the promotion index, which is comprised of both Marketing and
Traffic, 2% of marketing is 1% on the promotion index, so if you have 70 traffic,
you want 60% marketing to reach max effectiveness.
Depending on the business type it can make a dent, in a jewelry store even one
more customer can bring in thousands of dollars. Fast food businesses and cafes
don’t typically need it because they always meet building capacity (or at least,
mine always have), but it can stabilize your customers per hours and bring in an
extra few over all during your weaker hours.
Law firms mainly struggle due to demand and competitors in the district in my
experience, I use marketing to provide a slight boost, I am pretty sure this
works but I don’t really pay attention anymore.
It isn’t broken, it’s just not always necessary and trying it out and seeing if
it works for your business is something you have to do when setting up your new
businesses. Keep in mind the weekend gets more customers too, so it’s not as
accurate as a measure if you compare weekdays to it.
-=For example=-
I disabled my 3k in marketing and my 29 customers hourly went down to like 16
(19 on some days) and my net profits dropped by like 30k.
How to Move Headquarters Office:
--------------------------------
Want to find a way to easily move offices for my headquarters to a bigger space?
-=Did You Can Move Headquarters Office=-
Unfortunately no easy way to move.
Would suggest just making a second one for your new employees, hq for the first
16 businesses only need 5 slots (4 purchasing, 1 logistic for 16 locations).
Albeit i would probably move if i had a 4 slot office regardless.
-=Important note=
In case you’re not aware. You can jam in as many desks as possible in headquarters.
The “max capacity” is only applicable to lawyers and developers, when external
customers are involved.
As Kyle said, unless it’s a 4 slot, than probably just make a second one.
You’ll likely eventually have several HQ.
Gameplay Tips:
--------------
Written by Swisspike
Story mode. When you are asked to get one rounded display case, don’t buy one,
buy THREE.
This way, you can sell cheap flowers, cheap gifts, AND expensive gifts.
I was getting $2400 profit a day by the end of the first week.
Next..buy a storage unit for the back. Your employees will automatically restock
the display cases.
Next..with your first employee, don’t put him directly in the store. He (or she)
sucks. Train them for several days. You’re making 2k+ profit per day, and their
training is only about 15% of your profit. My dude, day 14 now, is trained up to
almost 70%.
Give yourself one day off a week, to re-stock. I left my apartment at 7:30 am,
and didn’t get finished re-stocking until 5 pm. You’re just not going to do this
in an hour or two.
Track your sales, daily. I am at the very start of my third week, with a full
week of sales. I just boosted up the cost of my three products, incrementally. I
will see total sales, and total profits, at the beginning of the next week. I will
PRECISELY determine what price gets me the most profit this way.
Buy cleaning supplies, and when your store closes each evening, clean to 100%.
This is a no brainer. LOTS easier to do it, and still get eight hours of sleep,
instead of trying to do it in the morning, when you’re pretty busy.
I have already spent twelve thousand dollars getting the most expensive interior
for my store, floors and walls. If you don’t, you will lose ratings, customers,
and money, FOREVER.
I still need music.
My first employee is part time. I have him working six days a week, for four hours.
9 am to 1 pm. I work the rest of the time, from 1 pm to close at 8 pm. This gives
me all morning to run errands, AND saves me a buttload of money. $35 an hour for
24 hours in a week is $840 a week. Full time, at 40 hours, is $1400 a week. I can
use this extra $560 a week for other things. I only work seven hours per day, plus
the cleaning.
I am not sure if I will ever hire a cleaning guy. This is a LOT of money.
Many when I am rolling in the dough.
Buy a truck. Holds twenty boxes. I need about eleven boxes a week for my three
products, total. Can’t do it in the starting vehicle, unless you make two trips.
Nope. Inefficient. Get the truck. Take Monday off, get your four boxes of cheap,
four boxes of expensive gifts, two boxes of cheap flowers, and some paper bags.
There are two wholesale stores. Use the one farther south. It is cheaper, and a
drive through.
Using the information above, I am generating about $17,000 profit a week. I plan
on completely paying off my loan, and saving up – cash – to start my second
business.
