Do you still have to do the food and decor updates? Do you still need to do the equipment upgrades? I'm thinking getting auto chef is a more economical way of winning levels, but just want to make sure of the true advantage before I make the leap.
It doesn't actually fully upgrade all your equipment, only some of it. Food and Decor aren't affected by the auto-chef, and around half the equipment aren't upgraded by it. It's definitely worth it though if you can afford it.
You can tell which equipment upgrades you'll get by clicking on each item - it will say 'fully upgraded when you buy the autochef' - or similar.
Definitely worth buying.
Different autochefs fully upgrades different set of equipments in different venues, some more, some less but bear in mind only the prep stations are involved. In venues like the burger place and the pizza place, having an autochef is more economical because upgrading those equipments individually costs much more than purchasing an autochef. Plus autochefs help a great deal in chef duels. It literally makes things one step faster (or more in venues like Singapore SF).
