11Overview22inZOI offers fast food careers at two restaurants: Golden Apple Burger in Bliss Bay and Dowon Deli in Dowon. Both are part-time active careers, meaning you accompany your Zoi to the workplace and directly oversee their tasks during each shift. These entry-level food service jobs provide moderate income and a flexible three-day schedule, making them useful for Zois who want to earn Meow while keeping most of the week free.44Each restaurant is exclusive to its city and cannot be accessed from the other. Golden Apple Burger has a Cashier position paying 270 Meow per shift, while Dowon Deli's Cashier pays 540 Meow, exactly double. Neither restaurant currently offers a promotion path beyond the Cashier role.66Golden Apple Burger (Bliss Bay)88Golden Apple Burger is a fast food restaurant located in Bliss Bay. The Cashier position is the only role available, and it is the sole job in the Golden Apple job line. This means there is no Manager promotion or career advancement within this restaurant.1010DetailInfoEmployerGolden Apple BurgerPositionCashierSalary270 Meow per shiftSchedule9:00 AM - 7:00 PMDays per Week3Job TypeActive (Part-Time)CityBliss BayAge RequirementYoung Adult, Adult, Middle-AgedHousehold Limit2 Zois can hold this position1313Morning Tasks1414The morning portion of the shift includes tasks with varying deadlines.

Like Golden Apple, the Cashier is the only position available, and there is no promotion path. Despite being part-time, Dowon Deli pays 540 Meow per shift, making it the higher-paying fast food option.2626DetailInfoEmployerDowon DeliPositionCashierSalary540 Meow per shiftSchedule9:00 AM - 7:00 PMDays per Week3Job TypeActive (Part-Time)CityDowonAge RequirementYoung Adult, Adult, Middle-AgedHousehold Limit1 Zoi can hold this position2828Morning Tasks2929Dowon Deli has a heavier morning workload than Golden Apple.

Dowon Deli only appears for Zois in Dowon. No prior experience, education, or skills are required to apply.4343Salary Comparison4545RestaurantCityPositionSalaryHoursMeow per HourGolden Apple BurgerBliss BayCashier270 Meow10 hrs27Dowon DeliDowonCashier540 Meow10 hrs544747Dowon Deli pays exactly double the Golden Apple rate while requiring the same 10-hour shifts. For Zois focused on income, Dowon Deli is the clear winner among fast food options. Both restaurants work longer hours (9 AM to 7 PM) than most careers in the game, which typically end at 6 PM, so factor in the extra hour when comparing pay rates to other jobs.4848Tips and Strategies5050TipDetailsGroup nearby tasks together.Perform tasks close to each other so your Zoi does not waste time walking across the restaurant between assignments.Save long-deadline tasks.Tasks with 10-hour or 8-hour deadlines carry over into the afternoon. Do not rush to finish them early when shorter-deadline tasks need attention first.Greet customers quickly.For the 'ask about food' task, approach customers while they are still eating. If you wait too long, NPCs leave the restaurant and you cannot complete the interaction.Keep your Zoi supervised.Active careers require your attention. If you switch away or let the Zoi act autonomously, they may abandon tasks or waste time on idle activities.Consider the pay gap.If you are building a household in Bliss Bay and need better food service income, the Dowon Deli pays 270 Meow more per shift. However, moving cities just for a fast food job is not practical when higher-paying full-time careers are available.5252Career Progression5353Neither Golden Apple Burger nor Dowon Deli offers a promotion path. The Cashier position is the only job in each restaurant's career line. For Zois looking to advance in food service, the Cooking skill can be developed on off days to unlock better-paying opportunities. The Baking career is another food-related alternative with its own active job line.5555Fast food careers serve best as entry-level income sources for new households or as supplemental jobs for Zois who want minimal time commitment. The three-day schedule leaves four free days per week for pursuing hobbies, building relationships, or training skills for higher-tier careers.
