Mechanics[edit | edit source]
In a new server, the game starts at day 0. Days start at 0:00 and end at 23:59, because the game uses 24-hour time. Inside the restaurant, there is a chart showing the bills, bank, and net amount. Once the bills exceed the bank, the restaurant will soon close due to bankruptcy and the game starts all over at day 0.
The following sections give a brief overview of the game's mechanics.
