How Recipe Unlocks Work
Players unlock new recipes as they progress, adding options to the restaurant-management loop.
Quick answer: Advance progression and related activities to widen the recipe set, then evaluate new dishes against available ingredients.
Three-point checklist
- Confirm the rule: The community Q&A explicitly confirms recipe unlocks over time.
- Plan around it: The system creates a progression path without an official pre-release recipe list.
- Do not assume: Unlock sources and exact recipe names need launch evidence.
Why this deserves its own guide
The How Recipe Unlocks Work page resolves one specific player question and connects it to the wider activities & systems system. It avoids splitting unverified items, NPCs or upgrades into placeholder URLs.
