Chef Archive

for me its just the opposite side...

the month before cu i mostly sold around 4-5 crates per week, and now, after cu, sometimes i earn about 2 mio during 1 day tho my sales are calming down a bit in the last days

i wouldn't say killed my sales, but alot reduced and i mean alot

Pre-CU my sales were amazing. Post-CU, as soon as I got my vendors stocked with all the goodies, my sales were amazing. Post-Pub 17, my sales suck a$$. I have a friend who's an entertainer and there have been days when she's made more money than I have. *THAT*, my friends, is sad, especially so because I'm a reasonably high volume chef. I'm sure it doesn't help that there's a new chef who's been spamming their *#(&(*%^$ undercutting wares out in Coronet the past few days either, but even my regular customer's sales have been dropping off the map.

So, 1. I hate undercutters. I wish nothing good for them. I'd go and buy them (her) out, except I don't want her stupid tags all over things that I'm selling on my vendors. (Sorry, 4am and I'm grouchy. Maybe I'll regret posting this when I wake up and find that I've been too honest again.) And 2. I can't stand that food buffs from different foods won't stack. It was fine that the same foods wouldn't stack. We could all work around that, but no stacking on things like Health? If they're that concerned about people with pumped up health bars, they should do something about the health crystals, which give a heck of a lot more juice for a heck of a lot longer than our foods do/did.

Pre-CU 30 to 40 crates a day. Post-CU 30 to 40 crates a day. Post-Pub 17 30 to 40 crates a day. I have increased my menu from 8 to 12 items. Havent seen a drop in sales. Vendors did 6 mil yesterday, 5 mil last Monday, and about 40 mil over the weekend. Pretty normal sales still.

Eventually, I suppose sales are going to drop a little. Now that foods cannot stack the same way, people will be using less of them. Example: Instead of Blob Candy/Kiwik/Brandy, they can only take one of them, therefore the same amount of food lasts 3 times as lone. Thus, the customer will not have to shop as often for more food.

That's mostly for the HAM buffs though. Other foods like Crispic or things that give ability stats will probably sell at the same rate, since they were largely unaffected.

I agree about the under cutters. We have some on my sever. That is probobly a factor in whats going on.

The "undercutters" never last very long imo. If your food is priced to cheap a few wealthy customers will just buy 10 crates every visit and wipe out your stock. Keeping a vendor stocked when your prices are to low is more work then fun...hence my logic they dont last very long.

Yep, it won't be worth it to keep the vendors stocked at low prices, not worth the effort... so you either quit or raise prices...
