MANAGER IMPROVEMENTS
The long awaited improvements to managers is finally here! Here's a brief look at what's changed!
Manager Budgets
You can now assign budgets to managers for them to buy stock with. You can also toggle whether they can use your personal stock to save money.
Manager Locations & Signature Dishes
You can now assign locations to each manager and their truck. This also means that things such as signature dishes and location business now all effect every manager.
Manager Reports
You can now see a breakdown of each truck's info including stats such as: appliance count, average appliance level, whether the signature dish is correct, the manager's wage, the average menu price etc. Most importantly, you can now see a breakdown of what the manager has sold in the previous day, displaying how much income they made and how much they spent on stock.
SIMULATOR RADIO
I'm super excited about this one!
We've teamed up with SimuatlorRadio (the team behind the radio in games like Euro Truck Simulator & Farming Simulator), to bring you live music through the HelixHarmony Radio object, which can be placed anywhere in your truck!
PREVIEW CUSTOMER ORDERS
As suggested by you guys, you can now preview the orders of customers in your queue. Simply hover your mouse over a customer to see what they are likely to order. The higher your level, the more items you can see in the order bubble.
NEW TRUCK
There's a new truck in town!
The Nomad MunchMobile offers a different take on the serving window position to give you even more floor space to play with. How will you layout your interior with this new take? There is also a variant for this truck called the Beachgoer!
2 NEW CUSTOMERS & 2 NEW MANAGERS
2 new residents have moved into Chestnut Ridge! Say hello to the Lawyers. They may be quite picky in what they order and will only turn up in the more built up locations, but they're sure to spend more money than most!
Thanks to the two winners of the August 2024 Manager Competition, there are 2 new managers available! Hire Timothée Chowmein or Hans Grubber today!
