As the owner, you must strategically formulate recipes, purchase equipment, hire staff, and decorate the space. · Manual Grilling, Rich Fun Even though you're the owner, you still need to master your grilling skills. Different ingredients require different grilling temperatures; burn them and you won't get the Perfect Bonus! · Hire Staff, Free Your Hands Even though you're short on cash initially, even as the owner, you still have to serve food and drinks. Having staff is key to managing the overall situation! · Collect Recipes, Create Custom Recipes You're just opening a new shop, and ingredients are limited. You'll need to personally collect them to create custom recipes! · Make Seasonings, Enhance the Taste Seasoning is the soul of barbecue.
