Verified release-build milestones
| Restaurant level | Unlock | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| 9 | Oyster Diving | The release-build level-up panel shows Oyster Diving and directs the player to the coastal rocks. |
| 20 | Fishing | A full-release playthrough states that fishing becomes available at level 20. |
Earlier progression observed in videos
The videos show recipes, supplies, furniture, delivery tools, vinyl records and NPC perks arriving progressively through the early game. Some exact early level numbers differ across the supplied transcripts, which include older or ambiguous footage, so those numbers are not promoted to the table yet.
Demo builds differ
A Demo can have different recipes, unlock order and progression pacing, so older information is only published when it is reconfirmed in the current build.
Version 1.0.4 (Sep 3) — exterior paint
Official notes: you can repaint the exterior walls of the cafe. This is a cosmetics control, not a new restaurant-level milestone.
Version 1.0.7 (Sep 24) — XP per dish and a skills window
Official notes with progression impact:
- XP is now awarded for each dish in a combo order rather than once for the whole order — combos pay out as each dish is served.
- Skills window: all acquired skills are now collected in a single window.
- New quest objectives were added, and the journal is now highlighted in the office whenever a quest leads there.
- Table customization was added — a cosmetic system, not a restaurant-level milestone.
- Tables now get dirty more slowly, easing table turnaround during service.
Recipe unlocks are no longer purely level-driven: since 1.0.7, new dishes are bought from the Recipe Book — see All Recipes & Ingredients.
