Making money quickly in Restaurant Tycoon 3

The ideal restaurant layout

In Restaurant Tycoon 3, you are not catering to real customers; your target consumer base consists entirely of NPCs. You don’t particularly need to worry about making your diner particularly roomy, especially if you’re not bothered by cramped spaces in the game. As long as the service is good, customers will keep pouring in, and your business will continue to boom.

An efficient restaurant layout leverages this philosophy to the utmost, where your objective is to maximize the number of customers inside the establishment. The idea is to pick a small building with large tables that seat plenty of clients at once. That way, your restaurant will see a lot more footfall than usual, and consequently, you will earn a lot more money.

A small restaurant also reduces the time your waiters take to reach the customers, resulting in faster service. Faster service leads to customers leaving quickly, which makes you more money in less time.

The ideal menu

Choosing the right cuisine can make all the difference when it comes to collecting paychecks. If your chosen menu is full of low-cost items, each order earns you less money. As a restaurateur, you must avoid that and try to include dishes in the menu that cost a lot more than the typical menu.

British cuisine is typically the best suited for this, as it features dishes that are all relatively expensive. With high enough footfall, you will earn a lot of money very quickly, especially if you include only the most expensive dishes on the menu.

You can also farm ingredients to save up some money on buying them from the in-game store. It has the added benefit of circumventing the store stock RNG as well, which can be quite helpful.

Restaurant rating

Raising your rating is one of the best ways to increase customer traffic in your restaurant. You can raise your rating by taking care of the Service, Food, Atmosphere, Expansions, and Hygiene aspects of the establishment.

Here’s how you can max out your rating in each of these aspects:

• Service: Level up your workers, have Card Payments, and acquire both tray upgrades.
• Food: Diversify your menu and get a wide selection of kitchen equipment. Upgrade your kitchen as well.
• Atmosphere: Include art pieces from various categories. Play ambient music.
• Expansions: Acquire all relevant upgrades, maximize table seating, and reach a total value of 200,000 for the restaurant.
• Hygiene: Have Toilets and Sinks in your establishment. Include two sinks in the Kitchen. Add items from the Bathroom category.

It’s worth remembering that you can achieve a five-star rating while sticking to the strategies listed in the previous sections. Your customers are not picky, so you can use multiple items of the same type listed in the Atmosphere and Hygiene sections to increase your rating. It’s easy to predict when your rating will increase, so be sure to use these elements to your advantage.
