Restaurant Tycoon 2 is the second instalment of the Restaurant Tycoon series, made by Ultraw. It was released two years after "Restaurant Tycoon."

As the name suggests, a player builds their very own restaurant and help it grow. The game uses cash as its primary currency, and diamonds as it's secondary currency. Users must create their own restaurant from one of the pre-set templates, as well as buying furniture and other decorations to allow more customers to visit. Restaurateurs cook and serve food from all around the world, keeping the customers happy by creating delicious meals and providing excellent service!

Gameplay

The player starts by choosing a starting restaurant design. Afterwards, players progress in the game by managing the restaurant, which is done by serving the customers. When the customers leave, they will leave money on the table that they were sitting at, letting you pick it up. The money can then be used to purchase upgrades, customize the restaurant and hire workers to progress through the game.

Restaurant Information Sign

The Restaurant Information Sign is a feature used to deem the overall quality and value of the restaurant. There are 6 ratings: Food, Service, Design, Popularity, Experience and Eco, including the Restaurant name and the plot value as well.

If you click on the green button at the bottom of the board, it will bring up a page that tells you all your average ratings for the 6 ratings above. You can increase these by upgrading things in your restaurant:

Food Rating:

There are three sub-ratings below this: cooking quality, chef skill and food choice. You can increase the rating for each of them, which will increase the overall rating for Food Rating.

The three sub-ratings for Food Rating:

• Cooking quality | You can increase this by levelling up your chefs. The higher level the chef has the better food they make but make sure not to overwork your chefs as after their happiness level drops below 50%, they work slower and the cooking quality decreases. This is the same with Waiters. You can also increase it by buying advanced cooking stations like a Mixing Counter, which will increase the price of the dish and also increase Cooking Quality by a ton.
• Chef skill | You can increase this also by levelling them up. A chef starts off as a Trainee Chef , who has to watch you cook 5 dishes before they can do their job themselves. Any other worker does not need to do this.
• Food Choice | This last one you can increase by unlocking more menu options from around the globe. This can be found in the red menu button at the bottom of your screen, and if you scroll down, you will see a section called 'Unlock more'. Click on the button and select a country from the left side to unlock. After a day has passed in-game, if you have done enough work like cooking dishes and serving customers, you will be able to unlock a new dish. The more work you do, the more dishes you will be able to unlock.

Service Rating:

There are three sub-ratings below this: waiter politeness, average time to get served and average time to get food. You can increase the rating for each of them, which will increase the overall rating for Service Rating.

The three sub-ratings for Service Rating:

• Waiter politeness | This decreases if your waiters are overworked. Make sure you close your restaurant frequently so that every worker's happiness level stays at above 50%.
• Average time to get served | The more waiters you have, the more this will increase. If you have lots of tables but not many waiters, make sure to remove a few tables and buy more waiters so it's all balanced out. This also affects Average time to get food.
• Average time to get food | Once again, the more waiters you have, the more this will increase. The less waiters you have, the less food will be getting to tables. You also need to buy Waiters and Chefs one by one, because if you have lots of chefs churning out food and very few waiters, then the Average time to get food will decrease significantly.

Design Rating:

There are three sub-ratings below this: restaurant value, decorative items and restaurant size. You can increase the rating for each of them, which will increase the overall rating for Design Rating.

The three sub-ratings for Design Rating:

• Restaurant value | You can increase this by adding more items to your restaurant like tables and anything really! As long as you have a high restaurant value this will always stay at 5 stars, unless you sell a lot of things in your restaurant. This also slightly increases the chance of VIP customers entering your restaurant.
• Decorative items | If you add things like statues, paintings and flags, your rating will go up.
• Restaurant size | You can buy expansions for this if you click on the 3rd button on the bottom of your screen, labelled Restaurant. Then scroll down to Upgrades. There you can buy Plot Expansions and more things like the Food Truck and Drive-Thru.

Experience Rating:

There are three sub-ratings below this: music, drinks and entertaining items. You can increase the rating for each of them, which will increase the overall rating for Experience Rating.

The three sub-ratings for Experience Rating:

• Music | You can buy new genres of music for your restaurant using Diamonds, the second currency in-game along with Cash. This can be found in the 3rd button at the bottom of your screen, labelled Restaurant. There should be a button for restaurant music and click on Set to change the music. You can obtain diamonds from daily logins. You used to be able to obtain diamonds from your player levelling up, but that feature is currently broken.
• Drinks | You can unlock new drinks by unlocking more menu options from around the globe. This can be found in the red menu button at the bottom of your screen, and if you scroll down, you will see a section called 'Unlock more'. Click on the button and select a country from the left side to unlock. After a day has passed in-game, if you have done enough work like cooking dishes and serving customers, you will be able to unlock a new dish. The more work you do, the more dishes you will be able to unlock.
• Entertaining items | If you add things from the Fun section when you click Build at the bottom of the screen then this will increase.

Popularity Rating:

There are three sub-ratings below this: kid friendly, restaurant capacity and ordering options. You can increase the rating for each of them, which will increase the overall rating for Popularity Rating.

The three sub-ratings for Popularity Rating:

• Kid friendly | You can increase this by adding the Baby Chairs, which you can buy in the build menu. You can also increase this by going into the Fun section and adding various play equipment items like swings, sandpits and see-saws.
• Restaurant capacity | You can increase this by going into the Upgrades section in the Restaurant button at the bottom of your screen. You can buy plot expansions which enables you to build more tables for customers, which in turn increases restaurant capacity.
• Ordering options | Just like food choice, you can can increase this by unlocking more menu options from around the globe. This can be found in the red menu button at the bottom of your screen, and if you scroll down, you will see a section called 'Unlock more'. Click on the button and select a country from the left side to unlock. After a day has passed in-game, if you have done enough work like cooking dishes and serving customers, you will be able to unlock a new dish. The more work you do, the more dishes you will be able to unlock.

Eco Rating:

There are three sub-ratings below this: nature, bathrooms and cleanliness. You can increase the rating for each of them, which will increase the overall rating for Eco Rating. This rating was added recently to the game.

The three sub-ratings for Eco Rating:

• Nature | You can increase this by obviously, adding nature such as plant pots and flowers to your restaurant.
• Bathrooms | To get a 5 star bathroom rating, you must add at least 2 toilets and 5 or more other bathroom related items to your restaurant.
• Cleanliness | To get 5 star cleanliness, add at least 1 dishwasher to your restaurant. Any active waiter will use the dishwasher or you can do it by hand.
