[p]Hello Chefs![/p][p]We’re back with some updates to improve your kitchen management experience. Here’s what’s new:[/p][h3]1. Improve Pause System[/h3][p]You can now take a proper break whenever you open the pause menu. The game will fully pause, stopping all in-game movement and activities until you choose to resume. It’s a simple yet essential feature to help you take your time when needed.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][h3]2. Clearer Dish Price Limits[/h3][p]We’ve made pricing your dishes more informative. When adjusting a dish item’s price from PC or from the banner, you’ll now see a maximum price cap, preventing unrealistic pricing and helping you maintain a balanced and fair restaurant economy.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]Thank you for all the valuable feedback you've given us so far.

[p]Hey, Chefs! 👨‍🍳[/p][p]We’ve rolled out some updates for Coastal Kitchen Simulator to keep the experience smoother and more rewarding.[/p][p][/p][p]👨‍🍳 Active Menu without Limit[/p][p]Starting now, the number of active menus is no longer limited to just 2, it's unlimited.
