A new wave of sizzling gameplay has hit Restaurant Tycoon 3! The highly anticipated Burger Update officially launched on November 28th at 11:00 AM EST, introducing a deep new cooking system that lets you build burgers from the ground up. This update is all about hands-on creativity and expanding your culinary empire.
This guide will break down everything you need to know about the Restaurant Tycoon 3 Burger Update, from building your first burger stand to mastering the new manual crafting mechanics.
What is the Burger Update?
The Burger Update is a major content release for Restaurant Tycoon 3 that focuses on adding a new food specialty: burgers. It introduces a dedicated buildable stand, a detailed manual crafting system, and new menus, giving players more control and variety in how they run their restaurant.
New Burger Stand: How to Get It
To start serving burgers, you’ll need to build the new Burger Stand.
Unlock Requirement: You must first reach Chopping Level 5.
How to Build:
Enter Build Mode in your restaurant.
Locate the new Burger Stand structure.
Place it wherever it fits your layout.
Alternative Method: The Burger Stand can also be purchased directly through the Butcher NPC.
Mastering the New Manual Crafting System
This is the core of the update. The new manual crafting system allows you to assemble burgers ingredient by ingredient, creating unique and potentially signature dishes for your customers.
Instead of selecting a pre-made recipe, you physically add each component—buns, patties, cheese, lettuce, etc.—in any order you choose. This freedom allows you to experiment and create your own unique burger creations that can’t be found anywhere else.
Utilizing the Specials Menu
With great burgers comes a new way to showcase them. The update adds a Specials Menu that is fully customizable.
You can add your manually crafted burger creations to this menu.
This allows you to feature your most popular or profitable custom burgers, giving you greater control over your restaurant’s offerings and marketing.
Gamepass Fix: Auto Money Collection
An important quality-of-life fix accompanies this update. The Auto Money Collection Gamepass now functions correctly with Drive-Thru orders.
Before, there may have been issues with the gamepass not collecting money from Drive-Thru windows.
Now, players who own this gamepass can expect it to work seamlessly, automatically collecting cash from all order points, including the Drive-Thru.
Active Burger Update Code
To give your new burger venture a cash boost, here is a new active code:
