Growing

Outlets

Where Grow → Outlets → India

Outlets lists every outlet, and the towns you can open in next. More outlets means more sales, and more to watch. Open where the town loves what you cook.

The second outlet costs ₹15,000 and the third ₹60,000; from there each costs 2× the one before. Each town has its own crowd, rush hour and favourite dishes: its card says what it Loves and what to Avoid. Once you are open there, Menu tags each dish Popular here or Slow here.

A town where you are well known can take a second branch: it opens at the rank of State Brand with fame of 70, costs 1.25× the price of a new town, and the two share the street.

Outlets you are not watching

Where Grow → Outlets

An outlet left alone slowly slips. Without orders or a manager, stalls wear, morale and fame fade. Hire a manager for every outlet you do not visit.

After 5 days with no orders from you and no manager, an outlet starts to slide. Outlets flags the one that needs you.

Seshu Uncle, the consultant

Where Grow → Outlets → See Seshu Uncle

A retired darshini owner from Basavanagudi reads your books, for a fee. He says what is going well, what to fix, and what each fix costs. His fee goes up with every visit: call him in when you are stuck.

An Outlet check names three things going well at one outlet and three to fix, each with what it costs, what it should bring and a button that takes you there. A Company review, for a company of two outlets or more, says which outlets to grow, which to fix and the biggest risk to the company.

He comes after a day of trading, and each visit costs more than the last.

Head Office

Where Grow → Outlets → Head Office

Opens A second outlet

The Head Office decides how many outlets you can run. The back room runs two; each bigger office runs more. Upgrade it before you open the next town.

It opens with no wait once you have a second outlet. Each level costs a one-off price and a daily cost, and some need a rank.

The Head Office also holds Protection for the whole company (with a different choice for any outlet that needs one) and the Central Kitchen upgrade.

Central Kitchen

Where Grow → Outlets → Head Office → Central Kitchen

Opens The rank of City Chain, then it arrives a real day or more later

One kitchen that preps for every outlet. Cheaper ingredients and faster cooks everywhere at once. Worth it once you run several outlets.

It is an upgrade of the Head Office, bought level by level. Each level has a daily cost.

Deliveries

Where Grow → Deliveries

Opens An outlet at Darshini grade, then it arrives a real day or more later

Orders from the app, cooked by the stalls that feed the room. Extra sales without extra seats. Put the Delivery Counter near the door.

An outlet at Darshini grade can deliver. Place a Delivery Counter (₹1,500, one an outlet) and a packer comes with it. The app sends orders and riders and keeps 25% of each order’s price.

Settings in Deliveries choose how far you deliver, the packaging and whether delivery prices are higher. Every order is cooked by the same stalls as the room, so a busy morning can slow both.

Your own riders

Where Grow → Deliveries → Fleet

Opens An outlet at Udupi Bhavan grade, then it arrives a real day or more later

Scooters and riders of your own. Keep most of what the app would take, and reach further. A rider is paid whether or not anyone orders.

An outlet at Udupi Bhavan grade can run its own fleet. A scooter costs ₹12,000 and a rider comes with it. Your riders reach 8 km; the app stops at 6. The Fleet page works out how many orders a rider needs to pay for himself.

Abroad

Where Grow → Outlets → Abroad

Opens Reaching Dosa Tycoon, then it arrives a real day or more later

Flagship outlets in cities abroad. Each city is a market of its own, with a rule that turns a habit upside down. A flagship needs a manager: you are a flight away.

The Head Office must cover your outlets at home first, and a city asks for a reserve of cash to stay in hand. Each city has five city stars to earn; at three stars it gives the whole company a bonus for good, and at four you may open a second flagship there.

City stars: 1 Open for business, 2 Talk of the neighbourhood, 3 A local favourite, 4 A city institution, 5 An icon abroad.

Big orders

Where Notifications

Weddings, offices and festivals sometimes ask for a big order. They pay well; say yes only if the kitchen can cope. They come as decision cards and festival orders.

A big order arrives now and then as a decision card, and in a festival week as the festival’s order. Accept it and it is cooked beside the day’s trade, then paid on the day it is due.

Brand lines, Empire tiers and catering (older careers)

Where Run → Finances

These were part of older careers. Nothing you earned is taken away. Their value carries on by itself.

The game is simpler now. A career that owned brand lines now earns a fixed daily royalty for them, shown in Finances. Empire tier titles and prizes you earned are kept. Catering contracts that were running finish as agreed.
