Player Rating formula

Rating is calculated after pre-match boosts and combines menu stats with Customer Service and Neko rarity bonuses:

Rating = 0.1 × (Food + Sweets + Drinks)
       + 10 × CustomerService
       + 25 × NekoRarity
       + minor terms

CS is a menu-independent score parameter. It adds to your menu scores (not multiplies), and it matters for both Floor and Kitchen nekos. What it does not do is alter any in-battle mechanic. CS is a rating-only stat.

Pre-battle bonus components

Pre-battle boosts apply before the "GO" splash and are part of a neko's displayed total rating:

FinalBoost = PlayerIntercept (depends on store level, rank progress)
           + Base
           + Base × CourtyardBonus
           + Base × VIP%
           + NekoBond
           + MemoryBoard
           + TitleBonus
           + 0 × Furniture   (still under investigation)

Active and passive skill bonuses, plus Food Truck stickers, apply after the GO splash. Those are not part of the displayed total rating, but they still scale off your base stats during the match.

Courtyard scaling

There are five courtyards (A through E), each contributing 0.5% per level using a triangular formula. Only one is currently levellable; the rest are pinned at level 1:

CourtyardBonus = 0.5% × (1 + 2 + ... + LevelA)
              + 0.5% × (1 + 2 + ... + LevelB)
              + ...
              + 0.5% × (1 + 2 + ... + LevelE)

Current state  = 0.5% × N(N+1)/2 + 0.5% × 4

Lucky Star trigger rate and multiplier

The in-game "Morale" stat (テンション in JP) is the Lucky Star trigger rate. Base Morale is 10, giving a base 10% trigger rate. The Fancy set increases this rate by 20% multiplicatively:

Base trigger rate    = 10%
Fancy set new rate   = 10% × 1.20 = 12%   (NOT 30%)

When Lucky Star triggers, both Dish score and Customer Service score get multiplied by approximately 1.225 (likely exactly 1.2 or 1.25; precise value pending confirmation). Measured base-score expression:

BaseScore ≈ (0.22 × DishStat + 1.08 × CS) × LuckyStarMultiplier

Sample size: 143 isolated data points (84 non-Lucky-Star, 59 Lucky-Star), controlled for buff and debuff skill noise.

Score RNG distribution

Across the same 143 clean data points (controlled for bonuses, buffs, debuffs), score RNG follows a clipped gaussian with about ±20% spread. Outliers are rare and mostly attributable to manual measurement error or truncation.

Special Skill timing

SP recovery rate          = 2.000 SP/sec
Fixed start delay         = 0.000 sec
Delay between SP hits     = 0.000 sec

Base activation interval  = SP cost ÷ 2.000
With +20% (Elegant)       = SP cost ÷ (2.000 × 1.2) = SP cost ÷ 2.400

Battle length 2:00 (120 seconds). Two SP buckets gain an extra hit: 70 and 100. Others only shift the last activation earlier.

Battle length 90 seconds. Six SP buckets gain an extra hit because the last activation window matters more.

Kitchen vs Floor scoring. A Kitchen neko's score is generated when cooking starts (Lucky Star also flashes then), then buffered for display when the customer finishes eating. SP buffs need to land on the cook-start moment. Floor nekos use a similar buffer that releases on a short 2 to 4 second timer, not during the Floor-Kitchen interaction itself.

Stamina costs

• Kitchen action: 10 stamina per action.
• Floor action: 6 stamina per action.

Stamina recovery triggers after 2 to 4 seconds of inaction. Plan rotations so high-cost actions are spaced rather than back-to-back, especially during Kitchen burst windows.
