Food Chain Magnate

Expert Food Chain Magnate races milestones in the first three rounds. Trainer enables marketing; marketing enables pricing power. The first to 10 restaurants triggers a VP milestone—speed beats efficiency early.

Quick winning principles

  • Hire Trainer in round 1 to unlock marketing before opponents.
  • Claim the 10-restaurant milestone by round 4.
  • Price burgers at $10 when you have the only supplier in range.
  • Place restaurants in the center, not the suburbs, for maximum demand.

Ideal strategy

  1. 1

    Milestone timing: first Trainer, first 10 restaurants, first $100 revenue—track all three.

  2. 2

    Employee hiring: Trainer, then Marketing, then Recruiter for duplicate hires.

  3. 3

    Pricing: raise prices when opponents lack suppliers in your neighborhood—$15 burger with monopoly.

  4. 4

    Restaurant placement: central map positions serve three neighborhoods; suburbs serve one.

  5. 5

    Marketing: permanent demand boost beats temporary campaigns—train marketers early.

  6. 6

    Endgame: three milestones plus 15 restaurants beats 20 restaurants without milestones.
