ONE PIECE: Grand Gourmet Straw Hat Crew Roles Guide

What Does the Straw Hat Crew Do in Grand Gourmet?

Your restaurant gets a lot more interesting when its staff includes a pirate captain, a master chef, and a shipwright. The ONE PIECE: Grand Gourmet Straw Hat Crew helps you cook, explore, expand, and serve customers aboard Baratie Number Two. Understanding the ONE PIECE: Grand Gourmet Straw Hat Crew gives you a clearer way to connect those activities as your floating restaurant grows.

You play a rookie staff member working alongside the crew. Sanji handles the kitchen, while other members contribute services that reflect their personalities and specialties. Managing the restaurant means bringing those contributions together: ingredients feed recipe development, furnishings support expansion, and customer relationships create more opportunities.

The story gives Luffy and Sanji a personal reason to get involved. An imitation Baratie is damaging the original restaurant’s reputation with overpriced food. Opening Baratie Number Two becomes their answer, putting your growing business at the center of a culinary rivalry.

Across the game, more than 400 ONE PIECE characters appear as staff and customers in pixel art. The Straw Hats anchor that enormous cast, giving your restaurant familiar faces and practical tools for keeping it running.

Straw Hat Crew Roles and Restaurant Services

The ONE PIECE: Grand Gourmet Straw Hat Crew divides restaurant work among several specialties. Some members directly create things, while others support exploration, training, finances, or customer entertainment.

Crew member	Restaurant role	What that role involves
Sanji	Cooking	Develops dishes using recipes and ingredients
Luffy	Exploration	Searches for ingredients, items, and potential customers
Zoro	Training	Helps crew members level up for expeditions and other activities
Nami	Finances	Provides financial assistance and negotiates discounts
Usopp	Meal decorations	Crafts decorations and utensils for customizing meals
Franky	Construction	Builds furnishings and expands the restaurant
Chopper	Medical care	Looks after sick or injured people
Brook	Entertainment	Performs music for customers
Jinbe	Transportation	Transports characters who become stuck in another area

These services make recruiting additional Straw Hats meaningful beyond completing a familiar lineup. More crew members bring more functions into the restaurant, giving you additional activities to manage alongside cooking and customer requests.

Start by identifying the service connected to your current goal. For ingredients, focus on exploration. For restaurant expansion, check Franky’s construction options. For meal presentation, look at Usopp’s decorations and utensils.

Use Nami’s Discount Before an Expensive Purchase

Nami can negotiate a half-price discount on new amenities once a day. That makes her financial role especially relevant when you are considering expensive additions.

Check her discount before purchasing an eligible amenity. Compare the purchase with your other immediate needs, including exploration and daily operating expenses. A discounted upgrade still uses money that could support another part of the restaurant.

Keep Training Connected to Exploration

Zoro’s training supports crew development, and exploration includes rewards tied to crew levels or particular members. That gives training a practical purpose beyond raising numbers.

Train across the crew instead of focusing exclusively on Luffy. When an expedition reward calls for a particular member, check that character’s development before spending resources elsewhere.

Cook With Sanji and Turn Ideas Into Meal Sets

Sanji is the kitchen’s centerpiece, but cooking draws on more than ingredients alone. Characters contribute ideas, exploration supplies materials, and finished dishes become parts of customizable meal sets.

The ONE PIECE: Grand Gourmet Straw Hat Crew connects those systems through cooking, gathering, and presentation. Think about the entire process when planning your next dish.

Part of meal development	What you do	Connection to the restaurant
Character ideas	Use inspiration from crew members and visitors	Expands the dishes you can develop
Ingredient selection	Choose ingredients for recipes	Supports cooking with Sanji
Devil Fruit assistance	Receive special help from Devil Fruit users	Adds character abilities to kitchen activities
Meal assembly	Combine dishes into meal sets	Creates menus from your finished food
Presentation	Add decorative elements and flourishes	Customizes how your meal sets look

Recipes range from recognizable dishes such as Water-Water Meat BBQ and Sea King Penne Gorgonzola to creations connected to Devil Fruit powers. That variety makes the kitchen another way to enjoy the wider cast.

Build Around a Specific Customer Request

Characters have food preferences, and particular dishes can help turn customers into fans. Some visitors also inspire new meal ideas connected to their tastes.

Read the request before changing your menu. Separate the dish you need from the ingredients and ideas required to develop it, then direct your attention toward that immediate gap.

Avoid assuming that knowing a character’s favorite food from the series completes the task. Check what the character actually requests in the game before committing ingredients or rearranging your plans.

Give Meal Presentation Its Own Pass

Meal sets support different priorities, including taste, price, and appearance. Decorations, plates, and utensils add another layer to their design.

Choose the dishes first, then review presentation options. Compare the resulting set’s qualities with your current goal rather than changing every element at once.

Use Usopp’s crafting options when you want more ways to personalize a plate. His contribution connects crew development with the small visual details that make a signature menu feel like yours.

Explore, Find Crew Members, and Grow Your Customer Base

Exploration supplies several things your restaurant needs: ingredients, giftable items, and opportunities to meet new customers. Luffy heads out with the crew, while the restaurant continues to give you other work to manage.

For the ONE PIECE: Grand Gourmet Straw Hat Crew, exploration and restaurant service reinforce each other. An expedition can bring back an item for a customer, whose growing affection can lead to additional crafting options or introductions.

Exploration activities can cost Berry, affinity points, or coins. Some rewards require a certain crew level or a specific crew member.

Current goal	What to check	Action to take
Develop a dish	Required ingredients	Look for exploration opportunities connected to those materials
Obtain an expedition reward	Crew and level requirements	Train or select the relevant member
Build customer affection	The character’s request or desired item	Match gifts and restaurant changes to that request
Meet additional characters	Exploration opportunities and customer introductions	Follow leads that expand your visitor pool

Turn Visits Into Lasting Relationships

Getting a character through the door is only part of building your customer base. Food, décor, gifts, and relationships all contribute to the activities surrounding your visitors.

Pay attention to requests as they appear. A customer might want a particular item, a certain table setting, or an interaction with another character.

Fulfill those specific requests before making broad changes to the restaurant. If someone wants an item, focus on finding it. If the request concerns décor, work on the relevant dining space.

Fans can follow the restaurant into new regions, making those relationships useful as your journey continues. Before moving forward, review the customers you particularly want to keep and work on their outstanding requests.

Expect the Crew to Grow Over Time

Additional Straw Hats join as you progress, bringing further restaurant functions with them. Your opening setup is therefore only the beginning of what Baratie Number Two can become.

Revisit your plans when another member joins. Check their service, connect it to an existing goal, and try that activity before piling on another project. This keeps each new function tied to something useful.

Design a Restaurant That Supports Character Requests

Restaurant customization includes more than 200 furniture, building, and decorative items. Themes draw from locations such as Whole Cake Island and Egghead, giving you plenty of ways to change the ship’s atmosphere.

The ONE PIECE: Grand Gourmet Straw Hat Crew supports that expansion through construction, crafting, and customer services. Franky increases the space and furnishing options, while other members add activities that make the ship more than a dining room.

Design element	What it contributes
Furniture and decorations	Changes the restaurant’s layout and atmosphere
Whole Cake Island pieces	Adds dessert-inspired styling
Egghead items	Adds futuristic styling
Customer-operated shops	Introduces special shops inside the restaurant
Expanded restaurant space	Provides more room for facilities and customization

Characters have décor preferences, and a design they enjoy can encourage repeat visits. Furniture also affects the mood around tables, making the dining area part of customer management.

Let Requests Guide Specific Changes

Read the wording of a décor request before shopping or rebuilding. Match your changes to the requested theme or setting instead of replacing unrelated furnishings.

Keep your own visual goal in mind, too. With so many decorations available, it is easy to lose track of the restaurant you wanted to build. Choose a direction for an area, then adjust it around the requests you are actively pursuing.

Balance Expansion With Daily Expenses

Facilities and staff bring operating costs. A larger ship provides room for more activities, but those additions also become part of your financial management.

Review your income and daily expenses before hiring more staff or adding another attraction. Use Nami’s eligible discount when available, and connect major purchases to a clear purpose, such as accommodating a facility or pursuing a customer request.

Between projects, watch the characters interact. Familiar allies, rivals, and unexpected dining companions share the restaurant, with special events and conversations giving customer collection a payoff beyond business growth.

The ONE PIECE: Grand Gourmet Straw Hat Crew provides the working structure, but those encounters give the restaurant its personality. Leave yourself time to enjoy the dining room you are building.
