Restaurant Staff and Customer Bug

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.

Hello @ZEN_0060,
I’ll be merging this thread with an existing one that discusses the same issue: Customers aren't ordering anything
Thank you for your report! :slight_smile:
