Food Chain Magnate: Ketchup Expansion

"Chef! Some of our guests are asking for ketchup. Do we have any?" "We don't serve ketchup in this company." "Also they are asking whether the restaurant will expand anytime soon? There's a restaurant in the new quarter and with all the roadwork lately, it is getting a lot of traffic." "Can't you see I am working on my new masterpiece? How can I concentrate like this? I need that Michelin star! And this new sushi dish is just the thing. Or maybe if I combine kimchi with ice cream..." "But chef. Your guests are not asking for fancy stuff; they want ketchup and coffee. And better decorations. And a new menu." "Get out of my kitchen. Now!" The Ketchup Mechanism & Other Ideas is an expansion for Food Chain Magnate that introduces new strategic layers to your restaurant empire. Balance customer demands with ambitious culinary visions as you navigate expansion opportunities, manage guest expectations, and decide whether to chase prestige or profitability. This expansion adds fresh mechanics that challenge your management priorities and reshape how you build your food chain dynasty.
