Restaurant Story 4+

I have been playing for years and, despite the fact that I hit the max level years ago, I’m still enjoying adding friends, communicating with them and making food.
I do find the tasks have been really hard to finish without using money. They are doable—if you play constantly, which I don’t. I play about 5 times a week, which is quite a bit and rarely get to the second appliance.
I’d love to be able to click a button and clear all my tables which would be a huge timesaver. I’d also like to be able to finish tasks more often (maybe fewer items to cook?) Or make it easier to get the appliance in the first place. I have a lot of friends but my gifts are often full so it takes days to finish the appliance. I figure I need about 5 to get to the second appliance. Thanks for highlighting the items, too. Maybe you could have tabs for stoves, grills and ovens so it’s a little easier to find them?
I do enjoy this game but find myself having to take breaks because it is so time-consuming. I have the exact same feedback for Bakery Story.

Ok so I love this game and my literal only complaint is that I will spend DAYS with my door blocked accumulating food. And I mean I’ve gone a full week several times not opening my door. And when I feel the food has accumulated enough, I will open the door. But go back into the game within the same hour and all or most of the food be gone but not having received the money I should’ve received for the amount of food that is no longer there. I’ve done this a lot of times and this last time (kept door closed 3 days. 25 counters all with thousands or tens of thousands of servings each. There was 2 or 3 that only had a couple hundred. Before I opened the door I added up all the servings on each counter and it came out to be exactly 113, 692 total). I screen recorded me checking each counter with how many servings each had. This was at 2:04pm EST. At 2:47pm EST I went back into the restaurant to see over half my counters empty but roughly only 150k increase in my earnings. I know different foods cost different prices but there’s no way that adds up the way it should. I have the screen recordings for both when I checked before opening the door, including the date and time as well as when I went back to check 43 minutes later also including date and time. Idk if it’s a bug or what but it happens often and I think it needs to be fixed.

I used to play this game back when I had an iPhone 4. I don’t really remember when that was 2013 maybe? I just started playing again a few months again, but I’m not particularly enjoying it. You can’t do much without the having neighbors, and as you progress you need more and more neighbors. Going around tipping and gifting all your neighbors is time consuming because it takes a while to load the screens. I’ve stopped completing the goals because I have a job and a life and I don’t have time to keep opening the game every hour or two to make sure the food for the goal doesn’t go bad before I can serve it. Not to mention the goals have so many parts you really need to be on top of the timing to finish it in the 10 days because you’ll have to cook large amounts of foods that take 16 hours. The appliances you build for the goal aren’t worth the time or the money you spend making them. They make like 3 dishes that take too much time for the money you get in return. Also, apps start playing when you’re in the middle of serving or prepping food which is annoying, and they usually are 30 seconds with no options to skip. The game will sometimes freeze during loading and you have to force quit for it to work again. Today my game tells me there is no internet connection and will not open, but I’ve been using the internet on my IPad for other things. I’m seriously considering deleting the game.
