Restaurant City 0

Restaurant City

I never heard of Restaurant City until recently when a colleague of mine introduced them to me. Initially I thought they were nothing but a bunch of time waster. As I dwell deeper into the game, I found underlying strategy that many first timer would ignore.

For example, table placement together and limiting your waiter’s movement can increase your service productivity. Another thing you would think that small things like a video game arcade would actually increase the waiting time of your customer while your staff would fill out the rush hour order.

The developer also spend time to make sure you have a sense of community in the game, therefore, certain ingredient that is used to increase your popularity, has to be traded with your friends.

The game’s friendly kid graphics is nothing to be sneered at. Handling your employee making them either a cleaner, waiter or a cook require a lot more thinking of how you want to develop your restaurant.

Clearly this is one of my favorite web game for the moment because of its simplicity graphics and depth of game play at the same time.

Remember how I ranted so much since I was previously in Technical Support? Yes, the reason for that is because I was swarmed with work because there are too many things to do. Most people shove their responsibility to your throat because they are unable to do it by their own. Some do not have the courage finds it necessary to bother you with every little bit of question.

By far the worst ones are the one treating you like a god damn Messiah.

So how have the new job been handling? Fairly well, I supposed. The job keep coming in but somehow I can manage and everything is within my expertise. Although it has the lackluster and little grandeur to it but I supposed it couldn’t be helped.

I don’t mind the work, just that I really hate people’s attitude in working. Here, they only come to you when they are really stumped and they have tried their best and always willing to learn. That’s how every work place supposed to be.

In Tech Support, everything seems to dull you because the people always not willing to put the extra mile to their work. Or because they are just too scared to make their own decision. Or perhaps other reasons that I can’t figure out.
