DAVETHE DIVER GUIDE

Best Bancho Grill Staff and Team Setup

Use one high-cooking chef, one fast service specialist, and one appeal-focused employee; then train the actual bottleneck in your restaurant.

Quick answer

Start with Om Nom for service and Martin Tweed for cooking

A strong general-purpose team pairs Om Nom's front-of-house value with Martin Tweed's cooking focus, then uses Rover or another high-appeal employee for procurement and customer support.

Do not rank staff by one maximum stat alone. The best setup is the one that prevents your current failure: late dishes need cooking, abandoned tables need service, and missing ingredients need appeal/procurement.

Choose staff by the symptom

  • Food waiting in the kitchen: add or train Serving.
  • Customers waiting for dishes: add or train Cooking.
  • Tables stay dirty or drinks stall: prioritize the employee's service skill.
  • Recipes lack secondary ingredients: use Appeal and procurement.
  • Quiet early service: avoid overtraining a stat that is not limiting sales.

Spend training money efficiently

1

Run one service before training

Watch where the queue forms and which employee becomes idle.

2

Train the limiting role

Raise the person who directly addresses the lost orders.

3

Unlock useful skills

A service or cooking skill can matter more than a small raw-stat difference.

4

Recheck after the next badge

Customer volume and menu complexity change the bottleneck as the Grill grows.

FAQ

Best Staff questions

Who is the best Bancho Grill server?

Om Nom is a strong default front-of-house choice, but another employee can be better if a specific unlocked skill fixes your service pattern.

Should the highest Appeal employee cook?

Usually not. Use high Appeal for procurement or support unless that employee also has the Cooking stat needed for your menu.
