Restaurant staff priorities
Train staff to skill breakpoints first: levels 3 and 7 unlock skills. Match Cooking and Procure to the kitchen, Serving and Appeal to dining, and high Procure to dispatch. A branch manager needs balanced stats rather than one extreme value.
- Dining: El Nino, Drae, Billy and Raptor are common high-performance choices.
- Kitchen: Yone, Maki, Tohoku, James and Charlie are reliable options.
- Dispatch: prioritize Procure; Davina and Masayoshi are frequent picks.
- Do not spend early cash leveling everyone evenly.
