💡Score Audit Tips
Cash first: Food Chain Magnate is scored by final cash, so use every other result as context for why the cash total landed there.
Demand sanity check: If marketing reach is much higher than served demand, the engine probably created more demand than it could satisfy.
The final cash total is the most important number within the game of Food Chain Magnate. However, the final cash total dont provide a complete explanation of how the player achieved that final cash total. For instance, a player could have gained a high amount of final cash through effective use of reserve cards and milestone.
Alternatively, the player may have used effective use of there demand to convert it into cash. Because there are different methods of achieving the same final cash total, the player must use a score calculator to determine the reasons for the players final cash total. The score calculator takes the various data points from the game and converts those data points into a clear picture of the player’s performance.
How the Score Calculator Explains Your Final Cash
To create the score calculator, a player must input several variable into the score calculator. The restaurant must enter the demand that was served into the score calculator. Additionally, the player must enter the salary load for the restaurant into the score calculator.
Each of these variables is important to determine the efficiency of the restaurant. Furthermore, the food order and the drink orders must be entered separately into the score calculator. These two numbers has different values in the game, thus must be entered separately.
Finally, the bank share for the restaurant must be entered into the score calculator. This value impact the amount of cash that each player receives during the game. The score calculator output variables that indicate the efficiency of the restaurant.
For instance, one of the output variables calculates the demand per salary for the player. Another of the output variables calculates the reach that the marketing department served for the restaurant. Each of these values indicate whether the restaurant made efficient use of their staff, their marketing department, and their player.
For instance, if the demand per salary for the restaurant is high, then the staff for the restaurant are efficient. However, if the demand per salary for the restaurant is low, then the staff for that restaurant is inefficient. Many players enters into the game with mistakes with their knowledge of the game.
Many players focus on the final cash total and ignore the other statistics that determine how that final cash total was reached. For instance, one player may have achieved their final cash total by using their demand very efficient to gain their cash. Another player may have used a single milestone and reserve card to set up their final cash total.
These different paths can be separated by the score calculator. The reference tables included with the score calculator help to show the interpretation of these score. The reference tables indicate the typical score bands for each of the variable in the score calculator.
Common mistakes include focusing on the value of the marketing department without ensuring that the restaurant successfully served the demand. Additionally, another common mistake by player is treating the salary load as a cost rather than the purchase of efficient kitchen staff for the restaurant. Finally, a third common mistake is forgetting that the bank share can act as a tiebreaker for each player in the game.
The score calculator can identify these mistakes. However, no score calculator can replace the player keeping track of the demand by type of food that is sold in the game. Food Chain Magnate is a game that reward the construction of an engine that efficiently converts opportunities to cash without any waste.
The score calculator will reveal which part of a player’s restaurant engine successfully perform such a function, and which parts of that engine did not.
