Japanese Ramen Simulator Management Guide — Staff, Shop Levels, and Unlocks

Released Early Access / Check changes up to v0.1.50.17746 · Updated 2026-10-12

Before increasing equipment, look at which processes are delayed: ordering, cooking, serving, and collection. If you only increase the number of seats, you may not be able to keep up with the kitchen and cleanup.

My ramen's guide separates level attainment and appearance time

In v0.1.50.17746, the My Ramen tutorial becomes eligible at shop Lv.4. It may appear from the next business morning rather than immediately on reaching that level. If it overlaps with the staff tutorial, the staff tutorial takes priority.

Check how the collection staff can work.

Collection staff will handle tableware, trays and empty beverage containers. If you have a dedicated dishwasher, you can also see where the staff will be waiting. In a small kitchen, check the layout to see if the location and the passage of people overlap.

  1. Check which processes are delayed and decide whether to entrust collection to them.
  2. Check the standby position when placing staff equipment.
  3. Check the return destination of tableware and the path of the person cooking and serving the food.
  4. After leaving the job to them, they look at the recovered items and empty seats and decide on the next expansion.

This does not mean that NPCs will automatically solve all tasks. Please check the role and equipment requirements on the employment screen.

Check Why the Kitchen Is Stalling Before Expanding the Shop

When equipment or an item cannot be used, the screen gives a reason, such as a missing tool, full storage, or cooking in progress. Address that reason before adding more equipment. Invite critics before opening for business.
