How We Rank RT2 Staff & Recipes
Staff and recipe tiers rank profit per minute and customer satisfaction impact. Aesthetic decor ranks separately — pretty restaurants that lose money are not S-tier for progression.
Ultraw updates add recipes that can obsolete old S-tier dishes overnight.
Early-Game Staff Priority
Hire S-tier waitstaff before upgrading kitchen gear if tips are your bottleneck. Reverse priority if orders pile up in the kitchen. Notes tag staff as front or back of house.
When Restaurant Tycoon 2 Tier Rankings Change
We re-rank after developer patch notes mention stat changes, new releases, or economy shifts. Silent hotfixes happen too — if community win rates swing hard, we adjust tiers even without a formal announcement.
