Pizza Connection 3 – Buildings
Restaurants
A restaurant is the most important building in the game. Restaurants can be rented for different prices depending upon their location. For example, A restaurant near a popular building has a higher rent than a restaurant near the edge of the city map. There are fixed positions for restaurants in a city. Once you rent a restaurant, the rent for the current day is deducted from your budget. All future rent is then deducted from your budget at the start of each new day.
Every restaurant has an area of influence. The green area shows the influence area within which a restaurant is able to attract passing citizens who are currently hungry. The blue-colored area shows the potential reach of this restaurant‘s delivery service.
Restaurants can be upgraded. Upgrading a restaurant will enlarge its overall size and area of influence.
The interior of a restaurant consists of different sections: Storage, Kitchen, Dining Room, and Delivery. You can choose to define the function for each room individually in the Architect. You are also able to change room layouts and sizes based on several schematics.
Steps for a functional restaurant;
1. Rent a restaurant
2. Create & put at least 1 pizza on the restaurant’s menu.
3. Hire employees from the Employee view· You’ll need at least 1 Cook, 1 Service, and 1 Supply Guy
4. Outfit the interior of the restaurant in the Architect view · You’ll need at least 1 Oven and a set of chairs & tables
Market Hall
Market halls are located roughly in the center of the city. There is only one market hall per city. The market hall is always neutral and cannot be rented or bought. If you don’t own a warehouse, your supply guys will get their ingredients from the market hall. If a restaurant is supplied from a warehouse, the supply guys will walk to the warehouse and get the ingredients from there instead.
Each of your warehouses gets its ingredients from the market hall. Ingredients in your warehouses are restocked immediately at the beginning of the day (0:00).
Warehouse
Warehouses store ingredients that are needed to bake pizzas. Cities have fixed locations for warehouses, which can be rented. Warehouses have limited space to store ingredients but they can be upgraded. To fill a warehouse with ingredients, the player has to sign up with an ingredient vendor.
The delivery of the ingredients to the restaurant is handled by supply guys and requires a certain amount of time, depending on the distance between the warehouse and the restaurant. Ingredients don’t have a specific type until they are used in the restaurant. There are different types of ingredient vendors. They range from cheaply priced, low-quality products to expensive, high-quality ones.
Marketing Spots
Marketing spots help you increase the influence areas of your restaurants. They have fixed positions on every map and can be rented. They always start at the smallest upgrade level (pillar) and can be upgraded. Upgrading a marketing spot costs a certain amount of money and increases its operating costs.
Every marketing spot has its own influence area. You are able to select one of your restaurants as the restaurant you want to advertise at the selected marketing spot. This gives you the opportunity to attract passing citizens that are not reachable within your restaurant‘s influence area.
