The highly anticipated new feature Service Firms is now available in the version v8.1.00 which you could download from viewtopic.php?f=10&t=8817
New Experimental DLC Feature: Service Firms
In a service firm, products are prepared and sold to customers in a unified operation. On the 3×3 layout, the preparing process (e.g. preparation of pizzas) is structurally similar to the manufacturing process. It has Input units for procuring ingredients, and a Prepare unit for making the products. Then the Prepare unit is linked to a Sales unit, allowing it to sell the products directly to customers.
From the gameplay perspective, you may view it as a hybrid combining the production function of a factory and the sales capability of a retail store.
A major distinction between service firms and retail stores is that each service firm has a brand rating at the firm level and it is shared by all products within the service firm.
For example, when you think of a pizza restaurant, you recognize the restaurant’s brand, as opposite to having brand perceptions for different flavors of pizzas from that restaurant.
Another characteristic of service companies is the ability to increase local customer traffic. With this, you can increase customer traffic in a shopping area by opening more restaurants there.
To use this new feature, enable the “Service Firms” option on the “Experimental DLC” page of the New Game Settings menu.
Detailed Instructions for Service Firms:
For details about how to set up and operate service firms, please see https://www.capitalismlab.com/service-firms/
For more details about Experimental DLC: https://www.capitalismlab.com/experimental-dlc/
Select “Service Firm” from the “Build” menu and choose a type of service firm to build.
Use the Preparation Guide to set up the restaurant to prepare Pizza Seafood.
Loading a MOD with Service Firms
Note that this is an experimental feature and it is intended to be used by user created mods. The vanilla game content currently does not contain any service firms. You must load a mod with service firms in order to use this feature.
We recommend Real World MOD (Service Edition) v12.00 which allows you to open Pizzerias, Fast Food Shops, Business Shops and Hotels as Service Firms.
This new version of Real World MOD also comes with a brand new Pizzeria building.
