Restocking settings
Choose Lean, Normal, Extra or Recent Sales
Open the venue overview and use Venue Management Settings for that venue. Update 4 offers Lean: 2 of each required ingredient, Normal: 5 (the default), Extra: 10, or Recent Sales: a target based on meals sold in the last four in-game hours, with a minimum of 2.
Choose a target for each venue separately. The target also appears in your shopping list; it is a supply setting, not a promise of sales or profit.

What each target changes
| Target | Documented amount | Reason to try it |
|---|---|---|
| Lean | 2 of each required ingredient | A smaller stock target when you want to limit inventory exposure. |
| Normal | 5 of each required ingredient; default | A starting comparison before changing the venue. |
| Extra | 10 of each required ingredient | A larger buffer, provided storage and purchase budget can support it. |
| Recent Sales | Based on meals sold over four in-game hours; minimum 2 | A demand-sensitive alternative when fixed amounts are not a useful fit. |
Choose using your own venue
The reasons in the table are editorial choices derived from the documented amounts, not measured optimal settings. The patch does not publish an ingredient-weighting formula for Recent Sales, so do not interpret it as one identical count for every recipe.
- Open the overview for the venue you intend to change.
- Record its active menu, current stock and existing target.
- Select one target and review the shopping list.
- Set the daily restocking budget separately.
- Observe actual stock and purchases during service before repeating the change elsewhere.
Check the result and the limit
Success means the shopping list reflects the selected supply target and the venue can prepare its menu after ingredients arrive. A higher target cannot make an unavailable ingredient purchasable, and a low budget can still prevent replenishment.
The restock objective now appears at zero required stock; it is not the former below-ten warning. If no stock arrives, follow the manager diagnosis. If the setting only looks different after loading, check the documented display issue.
