Cafeteria

The Cafeteria is the only Room added to Two Point Campus post-release outside of DLC releases or Challenge Mode. As the result of a Community Vote, Two Point Studios set to developing a new room, which was made available to all players on 19th October 2023.

For new players, the Cafeteria is made available upon completing Star Level of Piazza Lanatra; existing players who had reached this point at the time of the new Room's addition would have it appear automatically.

Please see below for an examination of this room's journey into the game.

Function
The Cafeteria is staffed by 1-3 Assistants, who will each man a Serving Station. Students and Staff may visit the Cafeteria for a meal, which will reduce their Hunger and Thirst, as well as increasing one of four attributes: Happiness, Healthiness, Energy or Movement Speed.

The total capacity of the Cafeteria is determined by the total number of seats available; the Small Cafeteria Table and Short Cafeteria Counter will each increase the capacity by 2, with the Cafeteria Table and Cafeteria Counter each contributing an additional 4. Although the Dining Table can also be placed, it does not affect capacity and cannot be used by diners. Instead, it serves the same purpose as in the Student Union, of allowing Students to develop Romances.

There are four Events that can be run in the Cafeteria, the Eat-a-thons. Each of these events corresponds to a meal in the Crumley Student Range, which will be the only item served for the duration of the event. One of Two Point's corporate mascots will come to meet the Students and Staff during the event.

Any Cafeteria may be restricted to either Students or Staff by using the Permissions section of the Room's Inspector.

Unlock
The Cafeteria is made available upon reaching Star Level in Piazza Lanatra. For players who had already passed this point at the time of the Cafeteria's addition to the game, it would appear in their Room list immediately.

Staff
1-3 will be required to run the room.

The Food Court
A precursor to this room, the Food Court, was worked on prior to the launch of Two Point Campus. It would have been obtained through a Research Project, and would be home to the original five Kiosks. The Hotdog Kiosk would likely have been available initially, with the other four to be unlocked through further projects.

Certain icons still exist in the game's assets showing early stages of development for Items in the Food Court. It should be noted that these are all marked as "Cafeteria", as opposed to "Gastronomy", although the Cooking Station does strongly resemble the similar item in the released game. All of the given names are derived from the icon names, which are not always the same as the in-game name.

The Food Court would have been staffed by Assistants, who would man the Kiosks, as they do in the final release. When the decision was made to cease development on the Food Court, the Food Court Job Assignment shifted instead to the Kiosks themselves, which would become standalone items, usable in the Campus Building and outside.

The only Food Court asset that has been retained for the Cafeteria is the pizza-slice icon for the Room itself.

The Cafeteria
On 12th May 2023, a Community Vote was launched on the Two Point County Community Site, offering four potential content packs for the players to choose from, with the winning one to be developed and added to the game. The choices would include: Having already been a well-requested addition throughout the community, the Cafeteria would proceed to win in a landslide, with development taking place over the next few months. Beta testing for the room would begin on 27th September 2023, with the Room itself being launched to all players on 19th October.
