Glitches / Bugs / Errors

This page lists some of the well-known Glitches, Bugs, and Errors in My Restaurant.
== Staff/Customer Related==
===Pathfinding Glitch===
Most Efficient Restaurant Layouts utilize this glitch. Customers and Staff be able to utilize items, teleport to seats, and leave, within a 3-block radius, usually controlled by having empty space(s). 
===Broken Staff===
After the Summer Update, Staff would not function properly and would sometimes collide with items instead of walking through them. 
===Mystery Customer Glitch===
Sometimes, the Mystery Customer doesn't wear clothes, wearing only their Dominus.
===Ghost Customer Glitch===
This glitch makes Ghost Customer's whole bodies invisible except for the face, even affecting other customers.
===Customer Glitch===
Sometimes, Customers don't wear clothes, and only having hair and face. 
===Served Customers Glitch===
Sometimes, the number of customers served displayed on the entrance sign reflects "0" despite have more than 0 customers served.
===VIP/Celebrity Customer Glitch ===
When using the slot machine and it lands on either VIP or Celebrity customer will cause all other groups after the specified number of VIPs/Celebrities that have entered to continue to have VIPs/Celebrities in the group, dictated by the amount of VIP/Celebrity customers in that original group. This glitch was patched less than 2 hours after it appeared in the Alien Update. 
===Customer Forever Eating===
When the restaurant is closed, not all the customers leave. They continue to dine even if the player takes their table away. This is most likely due to lag.
===Special Customers Wearing Sombreros===
A few hours after the Cinco de Mayo update, Special Customers were able to wear sombreros. This bug/glitch was patched not long after the update released.
===Frozen Customer===
Sometimes when you get a Special Customer they will freeze at the entrance, and will not do anything unless you remove the chair/table they were supposed to sit in. This glitch is more common with larger and slower-moving customers, like the Lifeguard Customer. 
Deleting a chair/table as a customer gets up to get Silverware/ or use the Salad Bar/Desert Bar/Balloon Machine will also cause them to freeze. 
===Invisible Ghost Customers===
If Render Customers is off in settings, Ghost Customers will not be rendered when spawning into your restaurant, meaning that you cannot know if customers are entering.
===Trapped Staff Glitch ===
The staff members of your restaurant will be stuck in the floor once you join the game and cannot move. Some staff will not be trapped in the floor, and they will do their normal job as usual.
===Incorrect Staff Movements===
Sometimes, staff will teleport to the other floor, but will noclip through the top of the floor and either get stuck or flung out through the top and reappear back down, but on an incorrect floor. The staff member will still act like it is on the correct floor, and even taking orders from customers. In both of the instances, it is fixed when they teleport again to a different floor.
===Glitched Staff===
When Staff start drinking coffee, there is a chance they will be stuck in the coffee machine, which will require you to rejoin to allow them to leave.
===Staff Disabling===
When staff disabling was introduced the feature would not work a majority of the time for most players. 
===Incorrect VIP Customer Multipliers===
After the Summer Update 2023, all VIP Customer types (Normal, Corrupted, Inverted) would pay x3 more than the intended pay amount.
===Infinitely cooking stoves===
Sometimes the stoves may cook longer than intended. This is most likely due to lag. In severe cases, all the stoves can cook infinitely and requires you to rejoin.
===Incorrect Customer Rates for Expansions===
When viewing the menu on an expansion, a customer rate per hour will be provided depending on your "Speed" upgrades. However, a lower amount of customers will actually be provided than what is shown.
=== Staff using Multiple Speed Boost Items===
Sometimes, when Coffee Machines or Energy Machines are placed down or have their cooldown ended, a single staff may use multiple of them. This will disallow other staff to use the Coffee/Energy Machine and effect of the Coffee/Energy Drink Machine will not stack if used multiple times. 
===Ice Cream Payment Display===
If Render Customers is disabled, the cash payments for Ice Cream Machines are not shown above the Ice Cream Machine. This was fixed in the Taco Update. 
==Item-Related==
===Gamepass prices are displayed incorrectly===
The prices for the Gamepasses are sometimes shown incorrectly, but a purchase is not possible.
===Santa Snowman Glitch===
Prior to the Bug Fixes Update, placing a Santa Snowman would cause the Gingerbread Recipe to be unintentionally unlocked.
===Candy Bowl Glitch===
Prior to the Bug Fixes Update, replacing an empty Candy Bowl after rejoining would cause it to lose its delete hitbox, as well as make it infinitely useable by customers.
===Alien Item Glitch===
After the Alien Update was released, people were able to purchase Alien items for less than the specified amount of Cash. (Patched in Princess Update)
===Rotation Glitch ===
Pressing "R" a number of times quickly and then clicking will cause the game to think a rotatable item to place inside other items or in areas it is not supposed to be able to be placed. The game will think the hitbox of the item is still in the prior slot, causing it to place. The glitch only happens when the item is already placeable in the area it is in.
===Late delivery ===
Several items in the shop are shown as available for purchase, but you don't get anything in return after paying Robux. This concerns, for example, the Candy Bowl. It took weeks for some players to get the item into their inventory, and some did not get the item at all.
=== Missing Timer and Reward for Dominus Infernus Relic/Gingerbread Well/Inverted Wishing Well ===
Occasionally, when using a Dominus Infernus Relic, Gingerbread Well, or Inverted Wishing Well, no reward will be given or displayed, and no timer will be displayed afterwards. Rejoining or replacing the item may cause the timer to reappear.
==Player/Restaurant Related==
=== Free Bigger Restaurant===
After the Alien Update was released, people who started playing the game for their first time would have a chance of receiving a bigger Restaurant at the size of 16x16 instead of the default 14x14.
===Restaurant Glitch ===
Sometimes, two or more different restaurants may show up glitched inside each other. This is due to the restaurant previously in that spot failing to unload.
=== Golden Plate Glitch===
There is a visual glitch which causes some dishes that a player picks up from an Order stand to be a gold plate. This glitch is entirely visual, so the customer will pay the correct price of the food ordered.
=== Cursed Teleporter Glitch===
Sometimes, when buying the Bigger Restaurant Gamepass, it would cause your teleporter to be moved down 2 blocks from the back wall. This has since been patched. If you rebirth, the teleporter will be moved back to its original, but if you still have it, you will keep it and it will not move back to the original position. 
===Wrong Map Spawn===
Sometimes, when spawning into the normal map, you will instead be spawned into the trading plaza. Spawning in the Trading Plaza may sometimes cause you to spawn in the main map. This most likely due to the fact that the 2 maps are in the same world, and the game may have mixed up the spawn points.
===Lost VIP===
On 16th of May, players who bought the VIP Gamepass temporarily lost it in-game, and still with ownership of the gamepass, but without the game detecting it. This bug was patched the next day.
===Inventory Scrolling ===
If you had lots of items in your inventory, there would be a point which you could no longer scroll past anymore, which would disable you from accessing your items. This bug was patched in the Amethyst Update.
===Daily Rewards===
When a player has VIP, a message will appear in the chat but will not show to other players, which is presumably unintended due to the wording. This was later fixed a few days after the Lemonade Update.
===Finished Goal Amount Counter===
On the left side of the screen, there will sometimes be a counter that previously counted the amount of completed goals. This was removed in the Alien Update, but sometimes still appears.
===Layout Saver===
When this feature was released, using this feature would case you to lose items. This has since been fixed.
Using this feature, item exploitation was found, causing the feature to be disabled before the developers added a cooldown to prevent the exploit.
===Floors Button Menu===
When using the green teleport pad in other players' restaurants, the Floors button will teleport you to the correspond floor on that person's restaurant, even if you are no longer in the restaurant or the player has left. This will also allow you to teleport mid-air. 
===Event Rewards===
Sometimes when redeeming Tokens in the Event Rewards page, the image of the reward that you receive will sometimes be disproportionately small or big.
===Floor Loading Failure ===
After the Pool Party Update, the entire floor of "Floor 1" would sometimes fail to load. Sometimes, only partially of the floor would not load. 
==Misc ==
===Huge Chef Cat Glitch===
During the Alien Update, you could have a chance of obtaining a Huge Chef Cat in Pet Simulator X if you had served 100,000 Customers. Although there was only supposed to be 100,000 Huge Pets, you still had a chance of obtaining a Huge Pet after all 100,000 were claimed. Thus, this caused an extra 8,387 Huge Pets to exist. This glitch is now patched since the Princess Update.
===Lemonade Stand===
When restocking or upgrading a Lemonade Stand, sometimes the Speed and Level will be incorrect. When attempting to restock, the amount of stock remaining will be incorrect, and it will not let you restock.
===New Design===
Some elements are not displayed properly with the Refresh Update.
If the player could increase the prestige but does not, the bar continues to the edge of the screen.
The "Sell item" window does not display all items.
==Hacking Incidents (Global Market)==
(This section is not related to glitches, bugs, or errors and instead documented hyperinflation events for the now removed Global Market.)
=== Hacking Incident===
On 8/17/20, the Global Market in My Restaurant was compromised. The hacking started with someone buying extremely overpriced items which inflated the market. The hack pumped in trillions of cash into the game. The hacker(s) started to dupe thousands of Eternal Statues into the market destroying the value of them and forcing them to close the whole market. The dupe forced the developers to convert every duped Eternal Statue into a Cardboard Eternal Statue. The developers had problems converting the two statues forcing them to completely close the game for 3 hours. This hacking also got Eternal Statues removed from the market. Due to this, they made the Market Crash Cactus, a Decor item.
===Hacking Incident #2 ===
(The Developers have NOT attempted to fix the problem)
Similar to what happened before, a hacker started giving out hundreds of trillions to people, which caused the market to hyperinflate and crash. It lasted for around 2 days before the global market shut down temporarily. The market is open again as of 08/12/2022, but most items are still inflated by a large margin.
