Thank you!

chieving a higher Best Taste ranking in Dave the Diver is vital if you want your sushi bar to reach new heights of success. Your restaurant's reputation is what draws more customers in and the Cooksta app, which you gain access to fairly early on, will help you spread the word. You'll also rank up once you meet specific criteria, and one of those is the Best Taste ranking...
