Hello, Chefs! 👨🏻‍🍳

Thank you so much for playing our game and for being an incredible part of our journey. Your feedback, whether through discussion comments, in-game feedback, or other channels, has been invaluable to us. We truly appreciate your passion and insights as they help us improve and grow together.

Now, we’re excited to bring you the latest update for Coastal Kitchen Simulator. This patch will include exciting new features and challenges. Here's what's new:

[h2]Feature Updates[/h2]
1. Transfer Ingredients Between Utensils
You can now transfer multiple ingredients between utensils, like moving chopped items from your kitchen knife to an ingredient container, or between containers. This makes your food prep faster and your kitchen workflow much smoother.

2. Cold Storage Room
A dedicated Cold Storage Room is now available to help you store unopened ingredient boxes more efficiently. This gives you more space and keeps your main kitchen area clutter-free.



3. Ingredient Spoilage System
Be careful where you leave your ingredients! Anything left outside of Refrigerators or the Cold Storage Room will spoil and be automatically discarded at the start of the next day. Proper storage is now more important than ever.

4. Daily Operational Costs
Running a restaurant isn't just about cooking. Now, you’ll also need to cover daily operational expenses, including Rent, Water, and Electricity. Managing your finances wisely will be key to keeping your business afloat.

5. Daily Report UI Update
The Daily Report screen has been refreshed with a cleaner layout, making it easier for you to review your performance, earnings, and progress at the end of each day.

[h2]Bug Fixes[/h2]

• Fixed box position so it now lands properly on tables when thrown.
  
• Fixed a bug where two lightboxes with the same menu would cause one to disappear after loading a save.
  
• Fixed ingredients placed outside containers disappearing after a game reload.
  

Coastal Kitchen Simulator continues to grow with each development milestone, adding more depth and realism to your culinary journey. 🦞🥘

We always open to all feedback and suggestions to make this game as mature as possible. If you encounter any issues or have suggestions, don’t hesitate to share your thoughts.

Thank you for being part of the community.

Cheers 🧑🏻‍🍳
