Bakso Simulator 2 Staff Roles
Bakso Simulator 2 features four distinct staff roles introduced across the base game and post-launch updates from Akhir Pekan Studio. Each role automates specific tasks Rabas otherwise handles manually — cooking at the broth pot, processing register payments, fighting thieves near the cart, and entertaining dining customers for better tips. Understanding what each role does, where to assign them in your multi-floor shop, and how training investments improve performance separates restaurants that scale smoothly from those bleeding salary costs without revenue gains. This page breaks down every role with assignment strategies and training priorities.
Cook Role
Cooks are the highest-priority hire for most players because recipe expansion creates kitchen bottlenecks before any other staff role becomes critical. An assigned cook automates broth preparation and ingredient addition for recipes you select on their station menu — they handle up to two recipes simultaneously at base skill, increasing to three or four after training investments. Cooks do not deliver bowls to customers; Rabas or future delivery staff handles front-of-house service.
Assign cooks adjacent to ingredient storage and plating areas on the floor where their assigned recipes serve most customers. Ground floor cook handles Classic and Spicy Bakso during volume rushes. Upper floor cook prepares Fishcake Soup and Royal Bakso Bowl for premium dining once unlocked from our recipe unlock guide. Training cooks reduces ingredient waste from preparation errors — a significant hidden cost before training that our profit calculator accounts for.
Cashier Role
Cashiers process customer payments at assigned registers, eliminating trips between kitchen and cash desk during busy periods. Without a cashier, every payment requires Rabas to leave the pot — during simultaneous orders across multiple tables, register delays stack up and customers leave before paying. Cashiers also apply correct change and combo pricing for multi-item orders that Rabas processes slower manually.
Assign cashiers to the register nearest your highest-traffic serving area. Ground floor registers handle the most transactions during lunch rushes. A second cashier upstairs becomes valuable only after upper-floor seating generates consistent order volume following shop upgrades. Train cashiers to increase transaction speed and unlock automatic tip collection that adds five to fifteen percent revenue per shift without raising ingredient costs.
Guard Role
Guards patrol designated zones you define around the outdoor cart, shop entrance, storage rooms, and delivery areas. They automatically confront thieves and troublemakers who previously required manual left-click punching from Rabas. Evening shifts and supernatural story events increase theft frequency — guards become essential once you stock expensive ingredients and place valuable decorations near the cart.
Combine guards with physical security tools from the security tools page for maximum theft reduction. Assign patrol zones covering the path between delivery boxes and kitchen storage where thieves target unpacked supplies. Train guards to improve response time and unlock deterrent radius expansion that prevents theft attempts before they reach your cart rather than reacting after items are stolen.
Musician Role and Training
Musicians — introduced in a post-launch Akhir Pekan Studio update — perform during business hours in assigned dining areas, extending customer patience and increasing tip income. Customers wait longer for complex recipes when music plays, directly benefiting upstairs premium service where Fishcake Soup and Royal Bakso Bowl preparation takes more time than classic orders. Tip bonuses scale with musician skill and training level.
Musicians provide the lowest direct automation benefit but the highest passive revenue multiplier when assigned correctly. Place musicians in upper-floor dining areas with premium seating and decorations rather than the ground floor where fast turnover matters more than patience extension. Train musicians last among all roles following the sequence on our best hire order page. All roles share the same training interface on the tablet — purchase tier-one training after one week of employment, tier-two after consistent performance, and tier-three for maximum efficiency before considering additional hires in the same role.
