Dear Managers,
Here is a new update bringing several improvements, adjustments, and fixes based on your feedback.
✨ New Features
🕒 Customizable Opening Hours
You can now change the opening and closing hours of your bistro directly from the PC to adjust the pace of each day to your playstyle. The opening time determines when the next day begins. The closing time determines when the bistro automatically closes and when you need to end the day from the PC.
🍓 Fruit Salad
A small surprise dish joins the menu: Fruit Salad, a simple classic found both in restaurants and on family tables across France.
👨💼 Rename Your Employees Again
You can now rename your employees after hiring them directly from the Employees app.
💡 Improvements & Quality of Life
One-click table service: when serving a table, if your tray or trolley contains one or more dishes or drinks assigned to that table, or unassigned items matching its customers' orders, a single click will prioritize and serve all of those items while ignoring items assigned to other tables. This makes serving faster while reducing errors caused by multiple consecutive clicks.
Improved doors: doors now open automatically for players and remain open while a player is within their area, preventing several situations where players could become stuck.
Drink orders: improved interface responsiveness when claiming several drink orders in succession from the tablet.
Bar counter: left-click now picks up all available glasses from the bar, while right-click places glasses on it.
Dish quality duration: quality degradation has been aligned with breakfast items. A dish now takes around 30 real-time minutes to go from Exquisite to Bad, giving you more flexibility during service.
Counter pickup: all dishes placed on the ground-floor counter can now be picked up with a single click by interacting directly with the counter.
Mouse wheel action rebinding: actions using the mouse wheel can now be reassigned from the control settings for better accessibility.
Upstairs employee position: their waiting position has been moved closer to the bar to free up more space for furniture at the front.
Kitchen tables: they can now only be moved when completely empty, preventing objects from remaining suspended after moving them.
Invalid interactions: the red outline indicating that an interaction is not possible is now displayed again.
Storage Area: the expansion previously called Cellar has been renamed Storage Area and now has a more appropriate icon, making it clear that this is additional storage space rather than an area accessible to customers.
🛠️ Fixes
Automatic ordering and full storage: fixed an issue where automatic ordering could repeatedly place orders when all storage spaces were full. Orders are now blocked in this situation, and a notification informs the player that there is not enough storage capacity.
Fixed several translations.
Thank you for all your feedback, and enjoy the service! 🥐 We'll be back very soon with news about the future development of Parisian Bistro Simulator.
