Map Design

Introduction

This wiki will outline the design decisions involved with the map layout.

1. What the map would look like
2. What the tiles would look like (colour)
3. Where the stations would be located
4. Where customers will line up

Map layout inspiration

Option 1: Dining area centric

Overview

Customer queue visible on the left

Large dining area with multiple customers, customers showing their order

Smaller food/ kitchen area at the top

Evaluation

Endorses gameplay that is more focused on the waiter/ waitress experience

Lower emphasis and space to design a comprehensive cooking experience

Example/ inspiration

Inspiration from craftpix

Option 2: Kitchen centric

Overview

4 separate quadrants

2 cooking areas, 2 plating areas, vegetable boxes, sinks, garbage bins, order station, cutting boards, stoves, pots

Would need to keep all 4 quadrants accessible as only one player

Evaluation

Provides a greater focus on the kitchen/ cooking and food preparation experience

Lower focus on customer satisfaction, food service and ordering
