Managing the expansion of Bancho Sushi is one of the most rewarding milestones in Dave the Diver. Once players unlock the second location, automating daily operations becomes crucial for maximizing profits and keeping customer satisfaction high. Selecting the right personnel and setting smart operational policies ensures the branch thrives without constant direct supervision.
Selecting the Ideal Branch Manager
Choosing a qualified branch manager is the most critical decision for your secondary sushi bar. A high-tier candidate like Drae or Kyoko brings balanced stats in both cooking and serving, allowing them to manage ingredient tiers while assisting on the floor. High cooking stats enable the manager to handle higher-ranked recipes, directly boosting daily revenue.
Managers inherently perform automated tasks such as serving drinks, cleaning dishes, and refilling wasabi. Prioritizing employees with solid overall stats ensures that food preparation and service remain fast and reliable. Leveling up your manager to at least level 15 unlocks their full operational capabilities for high-volume nights.
Optimizing Kitchen and Dining Room Staff
To keep food moving quickly out of the kitchen, assign cooks with top-tier culinary skills. Staff members like Maki and James excel in high-speed meal prep and plate duplication skills. Pairing a cook who has the Cooking+ skill with another specializing in Ingredient Prep Master keeps supply costs low and output high.
For the dining area, efficiency and coverage are essential to avoid walkouts. Employing servers such as El Niño or Itsuki ensures fast plate delivery and reliable drink preparation. High serving stats help staff navigate crowded dining spaces quickly during peak dinner rushes.
Setting Effective Operation Policies and Supply Chains
The operation policy dictates how menu items are selected automatically each evening. Setting the policy to prioritize price maximizes nightly income by automatically selecting your most valuable available dishes. Players can also align menu policies with high-level ingredient stock to ensure expensive recipes are regularly served.
Maintaining a steady supply of fresh ingredients to the branch is vital for continuous success. Players must manually transfer fish, crops, and seasonings from the main inventory to keep kitchen stocks full. Checking in regularly on stock levels prevents the branch from resorting to low-value default menu choices.
Long-Term Management and Optimization Tips
Regularly leveling up branch employees increases their movement speed and unlocks passive bonuses. Higher level staff members handle unexpected busy periods with far fewer customer service errors. Surplus workers in the waiting room can also be dispatched on gathering runs to collect rare seasonings.
Monitoring the branch CCTV during operations helps identify bottlenecks in service. If dirty plates pile up or drink orders expire, adjusting the staff composition fixes the issue quickly. Balancing your workforce between both locations leads to a thriving, highly profitable sushi enterprise.
