Quick answer
The official Steam description says the business progression begins with a noodle stand, then points toward larger restaurants and nightclubs. It does not publish a verified step-by-step opening, exact starting budget, required recipes, or unlock conditions. This page records the confirmed starting premise without inventing an optimal route.
What the official sources say
The Steam store page describes starting humbly with a noodle stand and building toward top restaurants and nightclubs. The developer/publisher FAQ connects restaurant success to ingredients and stocked fridges or freezers. An official menu update says dishes require recipes, ingredients, and suitable equipment.
Together, these sources confirm that the opening business is part of a wider supply-and-service system. They do not prove a specific order for buying equipment, hiring, or choosing dishes.
Starting without wasting resources
Use the game's own tutorial and on-screen costs as your source of truth. Before spending on upgrades, note what the tutorial says is required to serve a dish and whether the game explains how inventory is shared between storage locations. Then test one change at a time so you can identify what affected sales or stock.
This is a cautious testing method, not a claim that upgrades or menu changes have a particular effect. For the broader confirmed venue list, read the business guide.
Details still to test
The cited sources do not verify the exact starting inventory, first customer sequence, best opening menu, daily profit, employee availability, or path to the next venue. We will add those details only with screenshots or repeatable observations from a current game version.
