How to Make a Cheap and Easy Maze for Your RC Restaurant



Restaurant City Mastery

If you have been playing much Restaurant City of late, you have probably heard of mazes – the simple and yet highly effective way that many top players manage the flow of customers into their restaurant. This is more or less essential if you are serious about having a nice stop gap on how fast the customers can get into your restaurant and to their seats. If you are able to manage the flow properly, you can get more customers in and maintain a high popularity rating – ideally at 50.0.

How to Setup a Good Maze

A good maze should be at both doors and shouldn’t be something that people can get around. It needs to have a good balance to the décor of the room, but that is far less important than managing that steady flow. To start with, you should place your islands as far away as possible. Do not stack anything against the wall, but make sure you have the tables as far away from the door as possible. Once you reach a higher level, this is much easier – but for now, you just need to be sure you stack them nice and deeply into the corner.

Then, go out and buy some barriers or, if you have gathered some awards use those, and place them in a line, blocking the direct entrance from the door. Create a funnel that pushes the incoming customers along the far walls so they cannot get directly to you tables. When well planned, you can keep customers from entering and sitting right down.

Maintaining a Maze

With a maze, you need to be sure your restaurant never outgrows it. This means that you should keep an eye on the corners so that people don’t start walking around it. Additionally, you should watch to be sure that no one is able to stampeded into the restaurant unchecked. Set up waiting chairs or a set of Arcade units so that they have something to keep them busy when they are not yet ready to sit down and eat. This will almost always be the case once your rating is 25 or higher so be sure to keep an eye on upset customers who cannot find a table.

As you can imagine, a maze is a vital part of any good restaurant. How you set it up and how it looks are entirely up to you, but once you reach level 5 and have the space in your restaurant for it, make sure to integrate it into your design. You will start seeing noticeable upkick in your income this way.
