Hey there! So you're looking to unlock the Café and the Restaurant in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, huh? It's a pretty sweet deal because you get not one, but TWO new facilities to design and play around with!

Designing the Café

When it's time to design the Café, think cozy! You'll want to create a welcoming spot where your vacation home clients can grab a coffee and maybe a little something sweet. Don't worry if you're not sure where to start with the decorating; there are tons of new furniture pieces to play with, and we've got a whole guide dedicated to Café design ideas if you need some inspiration.

Café Required Items

To make sure your Café design counts, you'll need to include at least:

• 1 Cash Register
• 1 Table
• 4 Chairs

When you're in the Order Tab, just click on any of these required item types, and it'll show you all the different options that will work. You can mix and match to get that perfect vibe!

Designing the Restaurant

Designing the Restaurant is a bit more involved since you'll need to create two distinct areas: a kitchen and a dining hall. You'll need specific items for each, so let's break it down.

Dining Hall Required Items

For the dining hall, you'll need to place:

• 1 Cash Register
• 1 Table
• 4 Chairs

Pro tip: Consider making the dining hall a bit larger! This gives you more space to add extra tables and chairs, really making it feel like a bustling restaurant.

Kitchen Required Items

The kitchen, which is usually the back room, is simpler in terms of required items. All you absolutely need is:

• 2 Stove Tops

But don't stop there! The Order Tab has a massive selection of new kitchen equipment, like shiny steel counters, fridges, freezer boxes, and all sorts of different stoves and ovens. You can really go wild with the kitchen design!
