Trend information will not be disclosed unless you collect it from customers. *** Office Computer Decide the product order quantity (order once every three days) Decide the product's selling price (%) Bed Let one day pass *** Customer Customers can change the product suggestions and gather information about the area by visiting towns other than the office. Suggestions You can suggest up to three products. Information Gathering Investigate which menu items are popular in the area. Surveying randomly increases the research level of each menu item in the area, and when it exceeds a certain level, trend information will be revealed. The research level decreases over time, so you will need to conduct another survey. A certain amount of time will pass after the survey. *** Customer Order Determination The menu items a customer will order are determined based on the following rules. First, five food elements are set for the menu. "staple_food", "meat", "vegetable", "spice/sugar", "drink" Customers also have similar attributes, which gradually decrease over time. When a customer's food attribute falls below a certain value (around 30), they select a menu item to restore that attribute. The menu item to order is selected from the menu items currently offered by the player and competitors. If the player has not offered any items, or if the player has offered an item but it is out of stock, it will not be selected. Customers select a menu item based on the following criteria: - The menu item that restores the food attribute the customer is trying to restore most efficiently (cost/benefit) - The menu item is popular in the area where the customer lives For example, suppose there are two types of products below. [A] Purchase price 100 Selling price 220 (220%) Staple_food 30 Meat 30 Vegetable 15 Spice/sugar 15 Drink 15 [B] Purchase price 300 Selling price 660 (220%) Staple_food 15 Meat 60 Vegetable 15 Spice/sugar 30 Drink 30 Suppose a customer's vegetable element falls below 30 and an order is placed. [A]'s vegetable element is 15, and [B]'s vegetable element is 15. Dividing this by the cost gives: [A] 220 15 = 14.6 [B] 660 15 = 44 The lower the value, the more efficient it is. While the correct formula is (benefit cost), we use this calculation to make the game easier to understand. In other words, even if the recovery factor is the same, the cheaper [A] will be chosen. Next, suppose the customer's meat element falls below 30 for the same product and an order is placed. [A] 220 30 = 7.33 [B] 660 60 = 11 Although [B] has a higher recovery effect, [A], with its lower selling price, is still more efficient. Let's assume that the popularity of product [A] is 0 and the popularity of [B] is 50. The popularity effect is multiplied by (100 - Popularity)% . Adjusting the popularity value for the previous result gives: [A] 7.33 x (100 - 0)% = 7.33 [B] 11 x (100 - 50)% = 5.5 At this point, the value of [B] has finally fallen below that of [A]. In this case, [B] will be ordered. *When a customer orders a menu item, all elements of the ordered menu item will be restored. Elements other than those used in the judgment will also be restored. The rate at which a customer's elements decrease varies from person to person. A high element decrease rate means that the customer frequently chooses menu items with high elements. By identifying customers' preferred menu items from their order history, you can receive more orders from them.
