📝 Description:

In the game, caps (chef hats, toques) are used in two different systems:

1. 🏙️ City Progress Scale (in regular location progression)

2. 🍽️ Culinary Battle (weekly ranking competition)

These two systems count caps differently, and it's important not to confuse them.

🏙️ Caps in Cities (Progress Scale):

• Each city can be completed with 1, 2, or 3 caps depending on your best result.

• Only the highest result is saved, not the sum of multiple runs.

  • Example: If you finish with 1 cap, and later with 2 → you now have 2 caps, not 3.

• The progress scale shows your potential max (e.g., if you get 3 caps in every city).

• The country is not considered “complete” until you get 3 caps in all cities.

⚠️ Caps do not accumulate across attempts — only the best performance per city is recorded.

🍽️ Caps in Culinary Battle (Competition):

• In the Culinary Battle, all caps you earn during the event are summed up.

• This is a ranking competition — the more caps you collect, the higher your position.

• Unlike city caps, here you can earn the same caps multiple times across rounds.

✅ Culinary Battle = cumulative total
✅ Cities = only the best single result per city

❓ Why isn’t my progress bar full?

• Likely because you haven’t completed all cities with 3 caps yet.

• Check each city to see how many caps you earned.

• You may need to replay cities to improve your results.

🏆 Tip:

• Focus on earning 3 caps per city if your goal is to complete a country.

• Focus on playing as much as possible during Culinary Battle if you want leaderboard rewards.
