While Bancho and Dave make a formidable team, they cannot handle all the cooking, serving, and bar management on their own. They will need to recruit skilled staff members who excel in their respective roles. Here are the top-performing staff members you can hire for each position.
Best Servers Staff
Name |Cooking| Serving| Procure| Appeal| Special Skills
————-|——-|——–|——–|——-|—————
El Nino |126 | 986 | 425 | 138 | Cleaning Master, Serving Master
Raptor |304 | 910 | 770 | 194 | Wasabi Refill, Cocktail Serving
Cohh |360 | 914 | 150 | 672 | Cocktail Serving, Tip Master
Before you unlock the ability to hire staff, Dave will have to handle food and drink service on his own. This will give you a deeper appreciation for the effort required and highlight the benefits of having hired staff. While El Nino is the most skilled server in the game, you can only hire him at Diamond Rank. Raptor and Cohh, on the other hand, can be hired earlier, at Gold Rank, making them excellent choices for early-game servers. However, remember that the special skills of servers are more important than their raw numbers. When the customer influx becomes overwhelming, Dave will need support with drink service. Unlike Cohh and Raptor, whose skills do not include pouring drinks (Tea), Dave will have to handle this task himself. If you find yourself overwhelmed, consider keeping a low-stat staff member like Kyoko, who can serve drinks, until you can hire El Nino.
Best Cooks Staff
Name | Cooking| Serving| Procure| Appeal| Special Skills
——–|——–|———|——–|——-|—————
Maki | 1055 | 33 | 20 | 20 | Cooking+, Cooking++
Yone | 901 | 154 | 385 | 126 | Cooking++, Ingredient Prep Expert
Cooks are vital hires in the game as they assist Bancho in the kitchen, ensuring dishes are prepared quickly and on time. Maki is the top cook in the game, and the best part is that you can obtain her for free by completing the Reticent Girl sub-mission, which triggers automatically in Chapter 2. Complete this mission as soon as possible to acquire the game’s best cook. Yone comes in second, but you can only hire her once your restaurant has reached Diamond Rank on Cooksta. In the early stages of the game, having one cook in the kitchen is sufficient, especially with Maki at your disposal. Utilize the extra staff slot to send out dispatchers.

Best Dispatchers Staff
Name | Cooking| Serving| Procure| Appeal| Special Skills
——-|——–|———|——–|——-|—————
Yusuke | 850 | 218 | 986 | 160 | Cooking+, Ingredient Prep Expert
Pai | 594 | 466 | 914 | 418 | Cooking+, Serving+
Yusuke is the top dispatcher in Dave The Diver, with Pai as a close second. Dispatchers are responsible for procuring new specialty ingredients for the Sushi bar instead of engaging in serving or cooking. You can only have four active employees working at the restaurant simultaneously, so sending one out to find new ingredients means sacrificing a slot from the active staff. In the early game, having an additional source of seasonings like Salt and Olive Oil can provide a convenient way to create valuable dishes without overburdening Dave as he dives in the ocean.
Best Branch Managers Staff
Name | Cooking| Serving| Procure| Appeal| Total Stats | Special Skills
——–|——–|——–|——–|——–|————|—————
Drae | 896 | 855 | 666 | 744 | 3161 | Cleaning, Cocktail Serving
Itsuki | 438 | 932 | 628 | 963 | 2961 | Drink Serving Irresistible Charm (+50 Appeal)
For Branch Managers, overall stats determine their performance. Thus, Drae, the staff member with the highest overall stats (3161) at level 20, is the ideal choice for this role. Other options include Itsuki and Davina, although Davina is significantly weaker than Itsuki, with a total score of only 2624 compared to Itsuki’s 2921. There is almost a 300-point disparity.
Best Overall Staff Combination
Position | Staff Name| Cooking| Serving| Procure| Appeal| Special Skills
———-|—————|——–|———|——–|——-|—————–
Cook 1 | Maki | 1055 | 33 | 20 | 20 | Cooking+, Cooking++
Cook 2 | Yone | 901 | 154 | 385 | 126 | Cooking++, Ingredient Prep Expert
Server 1 | El Nino | 126 | 986 | 425 | 138 | Cleaning Master, Serving Master
Server 2 | Raptor | 304 | 910 | 770 | 194 | Wasabi Refill, Cocktail Serving
Branch Manager | Drae | 896 | 855 | 666 | 744 | Cleaning, Cocktail Serving
Once you achieve Diamond Rank and have access to all the ingredients, optimizing your staff becomes crucial in ensuring the smooth functioning of your restaurant without constant input from yourself. With El Nino and Raptor as servers, you can rest easy knowing they have all aspects covered. Drinks? Check! Wasabi? Check! Cocktails? Check! Cleaning? Check! Dave can practically stand still, and the restaurant will run autonomously. Maki is more than capable of handling the kitchen solo, but with Yone by her side, they can churn out dishes faster than orders come in. Lastly, Drae requires no assistance in managing the branch once it opens, effortlessly taking care of all tasks.
