Who to Assign to Each Job
For serving, try the teleporting CP9 agents, Enel, adult Koby or Kizaru; for kitchen vacancies, consider Terracotta, Wanze or Pudding. For outings, choose companions who meet the destination’s character requirements, and train the crew when low levels block progress.
Match the Assignment, Level and Daily Wage
Kitchen and floor jobs have separate staff assignments. Outings depend on which companions are available and how far they have progressed. Open Menu → Management → Staff after recruitment to put each hire into the intended job and review the following service day.
Daily wages affect your profit, so compare the cost of available workers before filling every vacancy. Affordable employees are a sensible early choice. Add a more expensive worker when the assignment solves a problem you can see during service.
Crew level matters when an outing obstacle stops discovery progress. Zoro’s break room lets you spend training points to level up the crew, and higher levels help clear those obstacles. Training also improves the crew’s service, while staff level contributes to cooking battles.

Fill Vacancies and Set the Next Shift
- Open Menu → Management → Everyone’s Requests. Complete requests that expand kitchen or floor positions, including Franky’s request to increase the number of servers.
- Meet more prospective employees through exploration and customer requests. Raise a candidate’s shop affinity and satisfy recruitment conditions; fan status or a battle can also be required.
- Hire through Management when the candidate becomes eligible. Compare daily wages with the workers already available, especially while your restaurant’s income is still limited.
- Return to Menu → Management → Staff and select the intended kitchen or floor assignment. Review the following service day before deciding whether another hire is needed.
Train the Crew and Unblock Outings
- Recruit Zoro and build Zoro’s Break Room. Spend training points there to level up crew members whose low levels are stopping outing progress.
- Replenish training points through exploration and hiking. Once Brook is available, live shows provide another source; joint training also requires hearts.
- Complete Zoro’s Training Falls request and build the facility for another place to train characters. Keep this alongside break-room training as your crew develops.
- After recruiting Nami, choose the companion needed for the destination’s event. Return through Menu → Actions → Go Out after meeting its character or level requirement.
Use the Straw Hat recruitment guide for the poster and visitor requirements behind your next crew unlock.
Fix Service Delays and Stalled Customer Wishes
Improve table comfort alongside your staffing. At comfort rank C, a table gains remote ordering, saving staff the walk to take an order. Check individual tables and keep them inside decorations’ effect areas.
If a customer’s dish wish stalls, check whether that character is working a shift. Staff on duty do not order, and characters receiving treatment in Chopper’s sick bay do not order either. The requested dish must also be on a set menu you are actually serving.
