Game update: 29/07/15

We're going to the zoo, zoo, zoo. How about you, you, you?

Notification for Zoo Crate

For the third time in six weeks, it's a box update, with the Zoo Crate costing 24 gems and resulting in one of a number of floor decorations being given at random.

Suggestions Box (Jul 2015)

Every month I list five things I'd like to see added, altered or abolished from the game. Because even though my long time of playing Restaurant Story clearly shows I love it, that doesn't mean it's perfect. Some of the ideas I'll air will be significant game changers while others will be low-key and irrelevant in the eyes of many of you readers.

In no particular order, here are this month's entries...

Game update: 22/07/15

The latest stop on our Summer tour is in the fascinating country of India!

Notification for Indian update

It's a normal update with most of the usual features in play, and it's all unlocked at level 22. So let's waste no time in surveying the full list of additions:

RS2 News (Jul 2015)

Once again it's time to summarise the latest goings-on in the sequel game to Restaurant Story. When we last met the Father's Day goals had recently come on the go, and they already feel like a distant memory!

Step from Father's Day goals

The key ingredient to that quest was Sarsaparilla, which in an unusual twist was dropped by cooking certain recipes. The likes of the French Dip and Chicken Alfredo were yielders of the root, and so preparing these dishes continually was critical to giving yourself a chance at completing the goals.

Game update: 15/07/15

What's the best way to keep refreshed during those hot Summer days? Ice cream of course!

Notification for Gelato Crate

If you want to procure some gelato goodies you'll have be willing to part with gems, as this is a box update. The Gelato Crate is a 24 gem buy and upon opening you'll receive one of nine possible prizes. The best of the items up for grabs are the hardest to get, so make sure you're content with the lower end prizes before gambling!

Path to profit

All information accurate at time of publishing.

In the first in a three-part series of posts, I'm going to break down how to boost your profits in the game via the food you cook. This is one of those more technical entries, so make sure to top up on caffeine before reading on!

Of course my recipe ratings system gives a decent indication of which dishes are solid performers when comes to all the factors - including profit - but it's difficult to compare between foods from different durations and doesn't map out how to get the best bang for your buck.

So let's have a go at doing that now! I'll start by assuming you have passed level 75 and thus have access to every recipe the game has to offer and 18 appliances in tow (we'll get to the alternatives later!) On the face of it, you may think that the dish which provides the highest number of coins profit is the one to cook indefinitely. That would be the Peking Duck (Basic Oven) which yields 11,900 coins profit per batch. Unfortunately it's not that simple, mainly because the duck is a 2 day recipe, so is not a great use of your time.

Restaurant Story 2 released worldwide on Android

It's taken a long time, but Restaurant Story 2 has finally been released around the world on Android devices.

The iOS version of the sequel game was first pushed out in March 2014, but only in limited territories. It was another nine months before the testing procedure was completed and RS2 hit the App Store globally. Ever since the question of when Android players would also be able to play the game has gone unanswered, until now.

There were reports around a month ago of an Android version being available in selected countries, and it is now accessible worldwide, including in the US and UK. You can find the game on Google Play (UK version) here.

Game update: 08/07/15

Bonjour! It's time for our Summer holidays, and we're headed for France!

Notification for latest French update

For the fourth time in Restaurant Story we've got a French themed update, although since the national day in France - Bastille Day - is next week at least this update is timed right! Here is your comprehensive list of the new content, all of which is unlocked at level 20.

Independence Day goals content report

The July the Fourth celebrations may have come and gone, but there's still time for a review of the additions from last week's Independence Day update which are only possible to access via the new goal set.

I'm going to begin with the only goal item which I feel really positive about, and that is the Pool Party. A 4x4 sized piece, this floor decoration is the final prize in the goals, and really conveys all that is great about Summer weather. Only the costumes of the modelled bots hint at the Independence Day theme, meaning that you can get away with using this item throughout the hot months. I like how each of the folks has something novel about them - an earring, a flower in the hair, a snorkel or a rubber ring.

Add in the barbecue on the side and you've got a vibrant decoration which can only be criticised for its inclusion of a grassy floor. As I've mentioned many a time before, it would be nice if the game's developers could just save some work and not include a floor so that we could choose our own. After all there's ample options for outdoor tiles.

Independence Day goals (in full)

Please note that this set of goals expired on Wednesday 5th August 2015.

And we're off! With Independence Day coming up, there's an update to commemorate this big event including fresh goals.

For your chance to obtain three floor decorations, two appliances and six recipes, make your way through this set of goals one step at a time. There are 36 days on the clock, so you have until Wednesday 5th August to finish them, after which time they'll be gone forever!

Here's the complete list of steps:

• Step 1: Red, White, and Blue
• Step 2: Avacado Bravado
• Step 3: That's A Spicy Hot Dog
• Step 4: Bacon Dog!
• Step 5: A Patriotic Party
• Step 6: Taste of Freedom
• Step 7: Red, White, and Tasty
• Step 8: Rockets Red Glare
• Sidestep A: Fly Your Party Flag

Game update: 01/07/15

Into July, and it's time to gear up for the Independence Day celebrations this coming Saturday.
