DELEGATE WITH A PLANHistorical official

Managers & the time they give back

In the April 2025 developer description, managers become hireable at venue level 3. Their duties include ingredient restocking, staff efficiency and morale support, and greenhouse goods. This is historical official information, pending live-build verification.

What is described, and what is still open

The published workflow explains why delegation matters as you acquire more restaurants. It does not give a salary, coverage radius, restock priority rule or guarantee that every job operates without intervention. Level 3 is a previewed unlock condition, not a tested launch result.

  • Ingredients: restocking across your locations.
  • Staff: support for efficiency and morale.
  • Greenhouse: collecting and making use of goods.

Measure the value of coverage

A manager can be valuable because a duty is completed while you spend time elsewhere. Record the wage you actually observe, the stock behavior and the task coverage. Compare an equivalent service period with and without the assignment before attributing every change in revenue to the manager.

  • Which venue has reached the displayed unlock level?
  • Which responsibilities did you explicitly assign?
  • Which tasks still require your return?

  1. Venue level 3
  2. Assign a manager
  3. Restock / staff / greenhouse
  4. Check actual coverage

Published developer workflow, pending launch verification. Salary and limits are not known.

Before leaving for a longer trip

Check kitchen stock, greenhouse state and staff assignments. Then build the day around a specific destination or relationship goal. The planner labels the historical duties and asks you to confirm actual completion, so a manager checkbox never silently becomes a promise that the venue is covered.
