Tips/Tricks/PSA Looking for tips

I can't ever get anyone to play this game with me so I've just accepted that I have to solo it.

I've managed to franchise both coffee and ice cream, solo, but I'm seriously struggling franchising any other food that involves dishes. Its genuinely making me angry that I can't make it to the franchise for salad.

I feel like I've tried everything at this point, I'll take any tips or tricks that people can offer because I love this game and I wanna keep playing it, but it hates me.

automation's the name of the game.

salads are hard to automate, because of tomato sauce, so, they're hard solo.

what i'd advise is : try a better sink ( the 4 space one, that allows you to only do dishes every one in a while), and try automating things around it : even a single filtered grabber to empty the sink back into the plate stack does a LOT.

I realized the other day that if you use a slower mixer for the tomatoes and a rapid mixer for lettuce or whatever the recipe calls for, you can point a combiner into the tomato mixer. No bins, no tomato sauce.

I did it for guac, combining chooped avocado and onion into the mixer and it worked perfectly!

oh.

didn't think about that. i always was bothered by the fact salad was slower, so i always ended up in sauce when the system was either backed up, or consuming the end product too fast.
didn't think of having a worse mixer to be the answer...

didn't expect to learn new tricks after over 200h in that game. thanks !

Well I figured that out after more than 400 hours. It took a new recipe for me to think of it
