Better Than Papa!Lisa FTW! How are specials determined? « on: August 24, 2017, 08:44:57 PM » This is more for Matt and Tony to answer.



Anyway, I know customers order specials based on ingredients, but I have a few questions:



1. Is there a max number of customers who can order a special? If so, how many? (Not per day, but how many are able to order it at all.)

2. What is the max number of different specials a customer can order?

3. How many ingredients from the special have to be in a customer's order for them to order said special?



I hope you get around to answering these questions. Logged Check out my FC's!!!

Depends on the customer and their normal order

I'm also fairly certain that it's possible for a customer to not be able to order any Specials, if their order doesn't resemble any.

An example is Mandi in the Taco Mia apps, her order uses topping combos not used in any Specials.

I've seen people order specials with only 1 ingredient before. I've seen people order specials with only 1 ingredient before. Logged I believe but not in you and me...

No, there's no max.

Not really sure, since it's more based on the answer to the next question:



Quote from: Ianiant on August 24, 2017, 08:44:57 PM 3. How many ingredients from the special have to be in a customer's order for them to order said special?



Customers look for at least 3 matching ingredients like Nickito said, though if you're in a situation where very few people match 3 or more, customers who only match 2 will possibly order it instead (or 1, if there's just nobody who wants it otherwise). Usually there are enough people who have 3 or more items in common with a special, but if you're early in the game and not many customers are unlocked yet they might be less picky just so someone is ordering it.



Also, if some specials have a "key" ingredient or two (like for Pancakeria's "Banana Split" special that'd be bananas), those things are more important to match than the other ingredients. So if a customer normally orders bananas, they're more likely to order the special (even if few other ingredients match) than someone who orders the other things in the special like French Toast. But there's some randomness to it, so someone might order it anyway if their other items match a lot of what's in the special. No, there's no max.Not really sure, since it's more based on the answer to the next question:Customers look for at least 3 matching ingredients like Nickito said, though if you're in a situation where very few people match 3 or more, customers who only match 2 will possibly order it instead (or 1, if there's just nobody who wants it otherwise).
