Hey restaurant managers! Since the launch of Restaurant Owner: A Restaurant Simulator, we’ve been working hard to serve up some fresh fixes and polish your gameplay experience. Thanks to your amazing feedback and bug reports, we’ve released several hotfixes addressing critical issues and improving the overall vibe of your restaurant empire.
🎬 A Quick Note About Our Employees...
We know our employees have been acting... a little weird lately 😅 — refusing to work, getting stuck, or just wandering off like it’s their day off. But don’t worry, we’ve been working hard on polishing their AI and making sure they get properly warned when they slack off!
Oh—and if you haven’t seen it yet, we dropped a funny little video where our employees *literally* ask for forgiveness. We think you’ll get a good laugh out of it. Go check it out and let us know what you think! 😄
