Catering Bonus Stats

Tasting adds to every stat that a food affects when the person with the skill eats a food. It does not affect the quality of the food that the person cooks. For example, if a food provides +20 dex and -20 int, a person with rank 1 tasting will get an extra +10 on the dex and int portion while a person with no tasting will not get any bonus.

I assume that tasting with catering works the same way. Someone can place a catering dish for others to use, and others will get slightly different bonuses depending on rank of tasting. I can confirm for sure that the tasting bonus treats the catering dish as one giant dish rather than a bunch of smaller ones. For example, rank 1 tasting will still only provide a +10 bonus per affected stat even when eating a 10-piece catering dish.

Incidentally, this +10 bonus works on the giant moon cake's protection bonus, so you can get +10 protection if you include it in your catering.

EDIT: And I'm right. Just tested it with a friend who has no tasting skill. I got +38 hp when I clicked on my catering dish and he got +28 hp. I'll update the page to be a bit more clear.

Creating a catering dish with two corn teas at rA (+2 dex, +10 luck) produces a cater dish with with stats (+5 dex, +21 luck). I'll be using corn tea from rA on, and I'll make note of any deviations from the expected stat values.

When a r9 catered dish is made with 3 corn tea, the catered dish has stats (+10 dex, +42 luck). However, when a dish is made with 3 corn teas, the dish has stats (+7 dex, +31 luck).

I'm proposing an extra row of the table, with Amount of Bonus Stats Per Food Item. At rA, catering adds 0.5 of each stat in the used foods. The number is rounded down to the a full stat point.

r9 would also have a 0.5 stat bonus. rA may also be 0.5, but needs to be tested, as it could be less.

r8 still produces (+10 dex, +42 luck), so it is also probably 0.5.

r7 the bonus is still 0.5 per item

Are you sure that each corn tea doesn't just add 2.5 dex and 10.5 luck? Otherwise my above test would've been at least +29 hp. I catered two Roasted Bacons bought from the grocery which added +14 hp each with rank 1 catering. The resulting dish said +28 hp.

Sorry, it was Barley Tea. You might be right. I'll continue tracking the stats up to r1. If nothing changes, we can debunk that theory.

R6 is the same.

You're right. Nothing changed since reaching r1. Debunked.
