and I have a question: I started in Berlin and am now market leader and have 5 or 6 restaurants. Since there doesn't seem to be anymore decent waiters, I expanded to Rome.
Here it's really difficult to get customers in the door. The restaurant can host 800+ people but there are never more the 270 customers on any given day. I have 3 standard recipes and some custom made pizzas on my menu. Any suggestions what I can do? I also heavily advertised for a week or so. |

also make sure all your capacities are there (not just chairs) also check popularity of ingridients in pizza, maybe you have something there, people don't like - you know different town different tastes.

well thanks for your answer. I have the deluxe 4 star oven, so there shouldn't be a kitchen capacity problem. But I have to admit that I don't have any real trendy pizzas on my menu. I was always more concerned with my Berlin operations. So I have to try that... At least I found a solution to my waiter problem and want to share it:
By giving your waiters (or cooks too for that matter) more money you increase their pizzas/day ratio. Although I actually own the original copy from 1995, I did not know that! :amused: |

A few tips
Here are a few tips I found when playing the game:
1: Use high quality food. People will not come if it is low quality. 2: Buy more food than you need. The game will tell you how much you need, but get more. This is because more people will arrive. 3: Some good pizzas I made had loads of stuff on. If you put a lot on it may be expensive, but people will prefer it. 4: Get friendly with the underworld as you will get loads of money, but make sure you are not caught. It is also a good idea to have a manager, so if you are up late on an underworld mission or put in jail, he can take care of your shop. Hope you find my tips useful! |

Confined to a single city
Hi,
I'm encountering a really weird behavior - I am only able to select the city once at the beginning of the game. When I try to travel later on, the game only charges me for the flight but never actually opens another city. Do you guys know why can that be? |

How expansive should the pizza be compared to costs of the ingredients? I always tend to set the price to high or to low. Either almost no one buys it because it's to expansive or I just loose money on it then it's to cheap.

Then I would add about 30-40% to the basic price. Also: don't forget that YOU design the pizza which means that putting too many ingredients on there will affect the price. What matters for a pizza is the score it gets after you make it (the score WILL change from game to game so saving a design for another game won't do you any good). |

Yeah the manager AI is flaky which is not unusual for games of that time. The contracts help and then I manually visit the restaurants every few days to see if they need more ingredients.
