You get to choose when you start your day, do you start early and hit the farmers market for premium produce and ingredients at the cost of some stamina or do you sleep in and make do with ingredients from the local supermarket? You can prepare for service by researching recipes or just talk to the town people and get to know them!
You can buy ingredients and use them to research recipes. Use your intuition for combining items. Can you think of something you can create with the ingredients? Try it out and who knows what results you get!
When it's time to serve your customers you have to prepare the food you researched. You set up a number of menu items that the customers can order and the customers will come. You can strike a conversation with your customers or take up their order. When preparing the food you can taste for seasoning and adjust the seasoning as you go. You'll train your palette as you try to taste your food so its highly recommended doing so. When you serve the customer you'll get feedback and they pay.
In the end it is all up to you how you want to spend your days. Do you want to spend the day researching recipes or making friends or find love or do you want to open your restaurant the whole day and rake in all the money? Totally fine!
