Karinderya Restaurant Bottleneck Advisor

How the comparison works

Seating gap = max(waiting customers − available seats, 0)
Cooking gap = max(waiting orders − active stoves, 0)

The larger gap points to the stronger visible bottleneck. Equal positive gaps mean clear both stations and watch the next queue. Zero gaps mean no pressure is visible in these two counts.

For example, 6 waiting customers and 2 open seats give a seating gap of 4. If 3 orders wait and 2 stoves are active, the cooking gap is 1, so seating is the first area to investigate.

See the dated equipment catalog for names and archived prices. Use the shop in your current server before spending.

Assumptions

• Only the player-entered counts from the current shift are used.
• A customer waiting beyond available seats represents visible seating pressure.
• An order waiting beyond active stoves represents visible kitchen pressure.
• Optional affordability compares current Cash with each upgrade cost entered by the player.

Known limitations

• This is an operational heuristic from the owner-maintained Karinderya site, not an official game formula.
• It does not model cook speed, customer patience, worker throughput, profit, star gain or hidden rules.
• A larger gap points to the stronger symptom in these two counts; check the live game before buying equipment.
