This help arrives in the form of employees a few days after you set the foundation of the restaurant. you’re able to hire employees and they’ll help you cook, serve, and find some ingredients for the restaurant. Moreover, you can also train them to be better and get unique skills.
How To Unlock Employees
Before you can start getting employees in your restaurant, you’ll have to pass the first few days and make an account on Cooksta. A couple of days after you make this account,a person named Yoshie will appear in the restaurantand have a little dialogue with Bancho. After that, you’ll have to prepare a dish for her.
To get this dish, you’ll need to find the following ingredients:
Whitetip Reef Shark
This shark can be found on the far-right side of the Blue Hole.Head right as soon as you dive and go down to find it. You’ll want to have a gun if you want to get this shark’s meat without getting defeated by it.
Olive Oil
Since you’ll be doing this process at the start of the game, theonly way to get Olive Oil is by opening red Cooking Potsin the ocean.
After serving the dish to Yoshie and going through a bit of dialogue, the employee system will unlock for you.
How To Hire Employees
You can start the process of hiring employees byclicking on the “Staff” section at the bottom of your screenwhen you’re at the restaurant, or by pressing the button above it. When the dialogue box opens, you’ll see a hiring option on the bottom-left of your screen near Yoshie. Here, you can start different kinds of ads.
Depending on the ad you choose,you’ll get several employee applications the next day(better employees for more expensive ads). You have to spend the initial hiring cost of an employee if you like their stats, and they’ll take an additional salary every day based on the number of orders placed and the money earned from each dish.
Sometimes, random people (not VIPs) will visit the restaurant and ask for a special dish.Some of these people will join the restaurant as Staff.
Once you get the applications for a particular ad,they’ll stay on the hiring screen until you either accept them or start another ad. Each employee has a set of four stats and some locked special skills, which are discussed below.

you may only have a maximum of two staff members in the kitchen and the dining area each,so verify you have a set of varying skills. For example, the skills to serve Beer and Green Tea will help you immensely during the late game.
