First-day priorities

Your first hours are easier if you treat the restaurant as a production line instead of making every order from zero.

1. Buy only the basics first. Early tutorials call for flour, oil, sauce powder, tomatoes, Parmesan and trash bags. Do not spend the whole starting balance on decorations.

2. Prep trays before opening. Cut tomatoes and grate Parmesan into ingredient trays. Keep extra raw stock in the correct storage area.

3. Repair the dough makers. The full release starts with broken dough makers in tested footage; use the reusable wrench and hold the interact action on each machine.

4. Make dough and sauce before customer flow begins. Dough uses flour and oil in the dough maker. Sauce uses tomatoes plus sauce powder in the sauce station.

5. Learn the full-release serving loop. Roll the dough to the requested size, add sauce/toppings, bake, slice the pizza, add basil only after baking when requested, place it on a serving tray and deliver it.

Do not over-produce at closing time

Prepared toppings can often be stored cold, but tested footage showed dough and sauce do not carry over the same way. Late in the shift, closing the restaurant to new customers can be more profitable than making a fresh batch that will mostly be thrown away.

Early upgrades and staff

Equipment upgrades and staff unlock as you progress. Early staff roles include work such as clearing trays, serving orders and assembling pizzas; later roles can take over more maintenance and logistics. Hire for the bottleneck you actually have instead of assuming the rarest candidate is always best.

Q&A

What should I buy first?

Start with the tutorial essentials: flour, oil, sauce powder, tomatoes, Parmesan and trash bags, then buy only what your next shift needs.

Should I pre-make lots of dough?

Not late in the day. Tested footage showed prepared dough is not carried over overnight like refrigerated toppings.

Can I close the restaurant during the day?

Full-release tutorial text says closing stops new customer flow while the day itself continues.
