BUG Description:
When I hire employees to work at my restaurant, all dishes prepared by employees (salmon/family-sized salmon) cannot be purchased by customers.
Testing:
I started a fresh new save file and operated the restaurant for 7 days without using employees (entirely in self-service mode during work hours), with a total profit of 186,000 and no bugs encountered.
I saved this file. Starting from day eight, I conducted tests:
(1) I hired one employee and let him cook alone while I idle nearby.
Result: Not a single dish was sold.
(2) I changed the self-service kiosk purchase mode and switched to having the waiter collect payment.
Result: Not a single dish was sold.
(3) I hired 3 employees and changed the family-sized salmon to regular salmon for sale.
Result: Not a single dish was sold.
(4) I hired one employee and sold family-sized salmon together with him.
Result: A small amount sold sporadically.
(5) I hired one employee and had him not participate in restocking food.
Result: Normal sales.
Conclusion: When employees participate in preparing food and displaying it on the shelves, it causes customers to be unable to recognize or purchase the items.
Of course, I observed all customers and their behavior patterns before taking food from the display cases were completely normal across all tests.
If you need any additional testing, please contact me.
