Chef Archive

I'm curious to see how Chefs are doing selling food these days. I've noticed an actual increase in sales of my vendor on Bria over the last week or so, not sure why. I'm selling the usual, Tat Sunburns, etc. I can't believe I've actually had to restock my vendor twice!

So how is the food market doing on your server?

Vendor sales have been slower, but personal orders have increased, overall though production is far from halted. I still have a hard time keeping up with orders or keeping anything in stock.

My stock still flies off the shelves (particularly crates), but sales have slowed a lot. Also, I won't sell any food unless people acknowledge that the food is broken and the restrictions on it now. That scares a lot of people off, but I figure the loyal customers appreciate it.

Sales have been steadily slowing down since the bug came up. Mostly the loss is in the smaller sales area like people buying half crates or single items. Big crate sales have stayed pretty constant. I'd guess averaged out I'm only doing about 75k worth of business a day right now.

Its been slow but fairly steady. I think this is due to our quickly dwindling number of chefs on Kettemoor. I'm the last practicing master that I know of.

I have no problem finding customers to keep my 2 factories constantly plugging away.

Not quite. I'm still doing decent business, mostly the same few loyal customers buying their favorite crates. Nothing like the million-credit-weekends some chefs used to brag about pre-buff-bug, but then I never did have those. Bazaar business, at least in Moenia where I offer up cheap samples to entice people to the bakery, has ground to a halt, though. Can't tell if it's due to this bug, or the pet eating changes of the last patch.

Just need to be lucky and finda fewgood customers. Dont spect people going to your vendor to take foods & drinks. Travel around planets, hand stacks of your product for free to players and you will notice in a few days a huge increase in your bussiness.

I have 2 factories running all the time and I stopped my customers search cause I cant barely mantain more than 10 to 15 customers at a time.

All you need is a good marketing policy, keep good comunication with your customers, get interested in their bussiness and proffessions and they will never leave you. Chef is the most wonderful RP proffession in the game, take advantage of that.

Get profit of your title, people are really surprised to see you in cities and take special attention to your words cause they dont know nothing about chefs.

There are a lot of people wanting our bufs, simple, but many of them didnt know about our existence

Surprisingly good. I cleared my vendors of all inventory save pet food after the introduction of the buff bug, but continued to fill custom orders. A few days ago I decided to re-stock since some folks were having success using one serving at a time and/or buffing only primary stats. I posted "signs" (re-named bonearmor panels placed at eye level) warning about the buff bug, but I've been selling steadily since re-stocking.

I'm seeing really slow vendor sales. Bazaar sales are at about the same level they were pre-bug.

I haven't had to restock anything in 4 days except what had fallen off the vendor.

I might actually sell out of Kibble N Bits soon though. Only one crate left (and it's been there a week).

I can't stay in stock unless I put 150-200 items on the vendor. Even as we speak, my vendor is dwindling down to the 100 items mark from the 180 I had on it last night. Four factories (I share with my roommate who is a med vendor) are almost constantly running (2 for components, 2 for final products). People know about the bug (I explain it until I'm blue in the face), but they like the products.

Like Letstatp (we're on the same server), I can't enter a city without hearing "OMG A MASTER CHEF" or things along those lines. On one hand its funny as hell...on the other, it makes me wonder...

Valcyn - dead. People are waiting for the bug to be fixed.
