We have 3 spots left. I’m going to spend tomorrow morning completing the spreadsheet and making sure all meals are complete with tasty descriptions :)
Are there particual food items we need, I have some books I didn't add since we were getting close to the total.
162 meals created. just need to add a tasty description on the shop front page.Countdown Until Open Just over 2 and a half hours.
This is also when Round 2 begins.
Thanks Louise, should I still add my books? or are we done with meals?Think I probably have a curry.
Added my books, let me know if you are going to use and I can give you location and sentences for the ingredients used.

Thanks for working our restaurant opening Louise!
Didn't realise how many sandwich combinations there were. Made me hungry!
Thanks for all your hard work, Louise!
Now we get to assign meals. And whoever did the BOMs, we need to decide what customers we're trading and PM the mods. we have time though :)
I think Louise and Jackie did the BOMs, so we have 2 trades. It looks like we have made a few more meals that what they requested, so that's good...that we aren't short. So fingers crossed we have the right mix.
I can start playing with meals tomorrow afternoon Louise, if you need a break. Let me know.
So we have 160 customers and 166 meals.Children - 27
Teenagers - 40
Adults - 52
Pensioners - 41
We only have 33 dishes that we can serve to Teenagers we definitely need to trade 2 pesky teens for adults. That would give us 38 teens 5 will go hungry. We have plenty fish and chips and sandwiches for the other customers . At a quick glance if we keep the alcohol until next round our only fresh wastage will be 3 salads.
Stacie can you pm the Mods with our trades.
Tips For Round 2• The most time consuming part was creating meals from long lists of ingredients. (Note to self don’t leave it til last minute to update and eat first 😂)
• To make it easier things like soups and stews can’t be used in the challenge. So no need to track these although if it is specified as something like tomato soup or beef stew the beef and tomato are ingredients that can be tracked.
• Page counts impact what dish the book can be used in.
50 - 160pgs - fresh dishes (fish/chips; sandwiches; salad; tea; coffee
161 -500pgs - fresh or frozen dishes (Fresh & curry; quiche;pasta)
501pgs and more - Any dish (fresh; frozen & desserts; alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks)
When tracking near these page counts in mind a chocolate milkshake although tasty can’t be used if the book is less than 500 pages or less. Although a chocolate based sandwich is a firm favorite.
• We are limited on the number of ingredients we can use from a book depending on length.
up to 2 >50 pages and <=160 pages
up to 4 >161 and <=300 pages
up to 8 >301 pages and <=500 pages
up to 12 >501 pages
An ingredient can be used as many times as it appears in the book or on the cover.
• Fish & chips with vinegar remains our priority but we need to make more frozen meals for round 2.
• Our book limit for Round 2 is 90
I’ve fed everyone that we’re able with our trades. 6 teens have gone hungry and we have 4 fresh items wasted.And we are currently in 2nd place. 🎉🎉

I'm starting Truly Devious this week.
Wow, Louise! You're amazing. I don't think I could keep all of this straight! Thanks for taking care of our restaurant.
To make sure I understand what you need, generic food terms for the food categories such as soup, pasta, curry, sandwich, quiche we shouldn't track, just the ingredients that could make them. But generic terms for drinks are okay?
Generic is good for things like pasta, curry, salad. Things like soup, stews and casseroles aren’t able to be combined into our main base dishes.Our main base dishes are:
Sandwich
Pasta
Salad
Quiche
Curry
Our Swimbourne scoring:You're now on the list of places to try for young singles and DINKS. Keep up the great work, but perhaps get a bit more creative or reduce your waste for round 2 to increase popularity.
Meals with the word "mushroom", "bamboo", or "tumeric" in the text or title, or used as a spell-it-out will attract more adults for round 2
Round 1 Complete - what to expect for round 2Thanks cooks, chefs and kitchen hands - you have survived the opening of your restaurant and round 1 customers. Phew!
Frozen Meals from round 1 not consumed
Can be used in round 2. You should copy and paste these from your Shop Front Round 1 to the Shop Front Round 2 tab (Note: column D on the round 2 tab won't populate - don't worry we will fix it up)
Desserts, Drinks and Cocktails from round 1 not consumed
Can be used in round 2 or round 3. You should copy and paste those you want to use in round 2 from your Shop Front Round 1 to the Shop Front Round 2 tab (Note: column D on the round 2 tab won't populate - don't worry we will fix it up)
Fresh Food from round 1 not consumed
Fresh food not used will be rotten unless you received tips from adults to preserve.

Score Tips
17-20 20% of adults tipped
13-16 10% of adults tipped
6-12 5% of adults tipped
0-5 0 adults tipped
Adults were pretty crumby tippers in round 1, but now your doors are open and you have a Swinbourne Score and media buzz, expect much higher tip rates in round 2!
If you have Fresh food from round 1 you are preserving by using a tip, copy and paste those you want to use in round 2 from your Shop Front Round 1 to the Shop Front Round 2 tab (Note: column D on the round 2 tab won't populate - don't worry we will fix it up)

I didn't do that this time and they were nice and went and found them for me but I need to make sure we do it next time. Thank you!
Sure. I added the links. Will that work?

Louise, let me know if you need help with the meals this round.
Will do. Working on meals tomorrow. Month end on work was a little bit hectic
...so why do I feel so stupid...? I am really missing something. I check the list on this link: https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/... for words, however you all seem to have ingredients that are not on the list. SO I definitely know I am missing something or I overlooked something at this point.
I mark any food items I see. Anything beverage related other than tea, coffee and water I don't mark unless the book is over 500 pages because it won't count. Same with desserts. Then Louise just takes whatever food words we find and makes them in to dishes. I think the list you linked to is just examples. Also, key items we need right now are turmeric, bamboo and mushrooms and then always vinegar if you come across any of those. Turmeric, bamboo and mushrooms will get us more adult customers if we use them in dishes for round 2 and vinegar allows us to get an additional point for fish and chips.

If someone can add for me as I cannot access the spreadsheet at the moment.Dune: mushroom p169
The Loop: Mushroom p43

No worries Abbie, it’s been a bit of a learning curve on this one.
I found turmeric in a book, I'm shocked. I didn't think I'd see it.
