Vault Upgrade Guide
The Vault is the highest-leverage gem spend before you're chasing Mythics. Boosts stack permanently across every restaurant, so leveling them is the best long-term value you'll get. Community-sourced priorities below.
Top Upgrades
Where most of your gems should go. Remote first.
- 1RemoteAd boost is worth more.Single best gem value. Push this hard.
- 2CheckbookStart each new city with more money.
- 3MopCustomers walk faster.
- 4RegisterCustomers order faster.Once you have the Panda pet you can stop leveling it.
- 5TVAd boost duration is longer.Pairs directly with Remote. Longer boosts mean fewer ads for the same uptime, so push it hard if you hate watching ads.
Secondary Upgrades
Useful but situational. Sprinkle gems here after the top tier is healthy.
