First of all, I'd like to mention that this guide is meant to use a Night Sparrow Kitchenware set while in hyper mode, which means that Guests request does not need to be met. In other words, you don't need to even check what does the Guest order, but simply send out a dish that is shown in the guide, as it will check out 3 liked food tags.

This cheatsheet is not perfect, and by that I mean that some recipes may be not unlocked for you by the time you'd need to use them. I've tried to use only the cheapest and earliest available recipes for this, however, for some characters there were no options like that.

Many characters are weak to recipes that you can obtain via Special Guests, which you can enable via computer, that will become available to you through story. You won't miss it, it will appear to the right of entrance to your house.

Basically, this process goes like this:

• Rare/Special Guest arrives, and you need to provide a dish that will check out 3 LIKED FOOD TAGS AND 0 DISLIKED. After some testing I found out that you need 2 liked food tags and 0 disliked, however, due to some inconsistencies, I'll aim for 3 tags in all the dishes.
  
• In addition, you will need to provide a corresponding drink, it's easier with drinks, unlike food. You do not need to check multiple correct tags (as I thought at first), you just need to check out 1 REQUESTED DRINK TAG. There are no disliked drink tags. In some cases (like with Cirno), I will leave a picture of a drink that will check out all of the characters drink tags, which means that you may not search for specific tag in accordance with a request, but simply throw one exact same drink every time.
  
• If done correctly, there will be a message displayed above a character when they start eating. It will be pink, there will be a smiling face left of the text and a heart right of the text. That means that you have received 1 full relationship/bond heart (as well as their corresponding reward spell card). Sometimes those Rare Guests will stay for up to 5 dishes (as far as I know 5 is a maximum amount), which means that you can farm this much in one day just from the job.
  
  All the 2hous are listed alphabetically, you can also press Ctrl + F to search via tags, types of guest (Rare or Special), names. The [STORY] section, which contains 4 Special Guests, may be somewhat spoilery, so use/read with that in mind. Characters in this section appear during story events.

Notes:

• In all honesty, this is just an assumption that she is indeed a possible Guest in your album, as she appears during story events a few times, closer to the end of the game. There is a last slot in Special Guest section that I haven't opened, however, I'm not keen on continuing playing the game, as I have pretty much 100%ed it, apart from this last character... I may edit this section if anyone in the comments can confirm that it is indeed her in the last slot. I couldn't find any info regarding this, as the game is still quite new, especially English translation. So good luck hunting, I guess. Cheers.

Thank you for reading this guide. I'm unsure whether I'll edit or add anything new to it, as I've played 70 hours of this beautiful game, and feel like it's enough for me. You can leave suggestions or info to add in comments, but as I've said, I doubt I'll change the guide. But, I mean, someone else can gather info from comments, aye?

Have fun socializing, peeps.
