chef should have bartender access and vice versa - soulware - 02-23-2025
It just makes sense I guessÂ

I strongly disagree. Bartender gets already tided hard enough. the chef got the kitchen dispenser and can ask the bartender for special juices, if they really need to.
There are a few maps where the bartender needs to be seperated more from the kitchen, though.

While it does make sense I'm pretty much in agreement with Earthfire on this one, though I think it would be good to hear from some regular bartender/chef players to see what they reckon, and I admit I'm pretty firmly in the camp of making sure departments have control of their space wherever reasonable or possible.
There's in game methods to help do what you're looking for if you want it too: The HoP can issue dual permission IDs for a Cheftender doing double duty or a kitchen/bar cooperating. The AI or a borg can lock down intrusive doors or dispense from a vending machine if it's something needed quickly.
I do fundamentally agree that if the chef and bartender want to work together they should absolutely be able to do that, but as best I can tell there's nothing really stopping that happening now and doing something like this I fear would just encourage them -not- cooperating and stepping on each other's feet.
Then again, ranchers and botany get on just fine as best I can tell and some maps they're sharing the space anyway. So yeah, I'm stuck waiting to see what others say while saying I've got reservations.

They don't need both really. Especially when you have wednesday 5 waiters slots

Without a supportive botany and engineer kitchens can reliably 1 to 2 people working in them. Many chefs seem to dislike having to share a kitchen due to not having enough ingredients to do what they want for a whole round and zero gurantee of being able to get more.
Bartenders likewise tend bar. Chefs ususlly have access to the bar but the bartender not to the kitchen.
Technically in most resteraunts the head chef would be nominally in charge of the bartender so this makes sense to me.

im not super against it but HoP can just add it for you

^^^^ I mean im a regular chef player and also in some maps the chef can just enter the bar space, so why not just give them bartender access instead of a weird semi-bartender access, the bartender getting chef access is just kinda a addon and could not be added while chef having bartender access can be added
