Q & A

What is the best starting restaurant layout to choose in Restaurant Tycoon 3?

The best starting layout is the White Box because it offers more space, allowing for efficient setup and better customer management.

Which cuisine should you select when starting the game, and why?

You should select the United Kingdom cuisine because its combined total of the most expensive starter, main, and dessert is 53, higher than Japan and the United States, which are both 51. This means higher earning potential.

What is the best early-game dish to focus on, and why?

Fish and chips is the best early-game dish because it cooks quickly, allowing you to complete milestones faster and unlock new dishes efficiently.

When should you start hiring staff, and who should you hire first?

You should hire your first chef once you have four tables. Later, after having three chefs, you can hire your first server to handle general tasks while you focus on serving food.

Which dishes make up the best starter, main, and dessert combination for high profits?

The smoked salmon (starter), beef Wellington (main), and trifle (dessert) form one of the most profitable combinations, offering top prices in each category.

How do milestones work and why are they important?

Milestones unlock new stores and ingredients in the plaza, allowing access to items that boost food prices and improve restaurant performance. Reaching level 5 in each milestone grants full access to all stores.

What are some efficient ways to level up different milestones like chopping, frying, and baking?

To level up each milestone, cook dishes that specifically use those techniques: chopping dishes for chopping, frying dishes for frying, and baking dishes for baking. Combining methods in one dish speeds up progress.

How can you boost the value of your dishes using ingredients?

After unlocking the fridge and leveling milestones, buy special ingredients from unlocked stores. For example, adding eggs to a potato salad boosts its value from $6 to $9, increasing profit per sale.

What are the requirements for achieving a 5-star restaurant rating?

To reach 5 stars, you need high service speed, at least six connected kitchens, 105 different dishes, good atmosphere, hygiene, and adequate restaurant expansions with enough seating.

How can you increase the atmosphere rating to five stars?

Play music, purchase five premium tracks, build five different roof sections, and include at least 16 art items, 15 electronics, 20 fun items, 15 outdoor items, and 20 nature items.

What are the hygiene requirements for a 5-star rating?

You need three toilets, three sinks, and twelve other bathroom-related items to reach a perfect hygiene rating.

How does the high-profit layout work, and how much money can it generate?

The advanced layout features 13 tables for 10 customers each, maximized staff efficiency, and high-value dishes. It can generate between $1–2 million per day, or about $60k per hour of gameplay.

What happens as you increase your restaurant star rating?

Higher ratings unlock special customers: birthday customers at one star (who order full meals), VIPs at two stars (large $200 tips), and food critics at three stars (who reward $200 if service exceeds four stars).

Why is it important to balance compactness and aesthetics in restaurant design?

A compact layout minimizes worker travel time, boosting efficiency, while adding decor like floors and colors improves the restaurant’s visual appeal and customer satisfaction.

How can you efficiently level up gardening?

Level gardening by placing numerous outdoor or nature items, such as roses, or by planting and harvesting crops on the farm. Longer-growing plants yield more experience.
