Assigning tasks to staff

Task skill requirement and progress bar

Staff are recruited from the Note Board. They come with predetermined Skills and a Trait. Staff slots are unlocked through More Staff Projects.

Skills

Skills come in the form of Cooking, Service, Cat Care, Cleaning, and Fixing. They can be increased by levelling up, which makes staff faster. Levelling up requires Staff Training Points. These are earned through completing tasks. Higher levels cost more Staff Training Points.

Level	1	2	3	4	5	6	7	8+
Cost		1	1	1	2	2	2	3

Each task has a skill requirement shown as a fraction above the task. If this requirement is not met, the task is completed slower. All staff come with the Cooking skill but the rest are random and need to be obtained through "unlock" traits. Staff can be specialised to do or not do certain tasks by checking the boxes next to the skills.
Service: Enables staff to take and serve orders. They can also chat with customers to fulfill their Social need. End game recommendation: 18

Cleaning: Allows staff to clean toilets, spills, and trash.
