Yuanyuan Inn Recipes, Best Chefs and Themes in Arknights: Endfield

Yuanyuan's Blazing Stoves is the permanent Innkeeping mode at Yuanyuan Manor in Si's Painting. Each session runs for 5 minutes: guests order from your menu, operator chefs cook in your kitchens, and you carry dishes to tables for Spirit Money and Tips. This page is the reference sheet: every recipe, every Inn Theme, what each operator does in the kitchen, and what each Inn Rating and Renovation costs. For how a session plays (Stove Fire, Full Blaze, Gourmands), read our Yuanyuan Manor inn guide. For a step-by-step plan, Gourmands included, follow the Yuanyuan inn strategy guide.

Quick Answer

Every Dish Recipe

Each dish has a fixed price, a cook time and up to two traits. Flavor traits (Savory, Salty, Spicy, Sweet, Sour) and style traits (Meaty, Veggy, Finny, Rich, Lovely, Classy) matter for Inn Themes and Gourmand requests. "Per sec" is the base price divided by cook time. The menu can only use Entrees and Sides at Inn Rating 1. Desserts join at Rating 2 and Soups at Rating 3.

Drinks

Drinks skip the kitchen. You take them from the Bar, so they cost no cooking time. Potable Water never runs out, which makes it a free filler on any menu. The trait drinks from Inn Rating 3 matter for themes that prefer Tea or Fruity drinks and for the Kohlic, Milky, Tea and Fruity milestones.

Best Dishes for Spirit Money

How we rank them: base price divided by cook time, which is the Spirit Money a kitchen earns per second of work before Tips. It ignores theme preferences, Choice bonuses and Tips, so use it to fill the menu when the theme is neutral and to see which recipes are worth chasing. The ranking uses the 1.6 game data, checked 2026-10-24.

#	Dish	Type	Price	Cook	Per sec	How to unlock
1	Boundary Lung Roll	Entree	125	35s	3.57	Ocean & Land theme, 4★
2	Redbloom Cheesecake	Dessert	125	35s	3.57	Tea Break theme, 2★

The gap is large. The four Rating 1 starters (Meat Baozi, Hand-Kneaded Noodle, Mato & Egg, Shredded Tuber & Pepper) pay 12 in 15 seconds, about 0.8 per second, while the best theme recipes pay more than four times that. Almost every top earner comes from an Inn Theme star reward, so pushing each new theme to 4 stars is the fastest way to raise your income. The catch is ingredients: nearly all of them need [A] ingredients (see Ingredients).

All Inn Themes

You pick one Inn Theme per session. Dishes that match its preferred dish type or trait earn extra Tips, and some themes also change the rules. Session score sets the star rating (1 to 5 stars), and each new star pays out once: Spirit Money, ingredients, and a recipe at 2★ and 4★. The Theme Stars you earn add up to your Inn Stars, which gate Inn Rating 3 (10 stars) and 4 (25 stars). 14 themes with 5 stars each make 70 stars available.

Yuanyuan Style (no theme)

Yuanyuan Style is the session you run without picking a theme. "Yuanyuan Style, the Style of Freedom." It has no Hot list, no star objective and no star rewards. From Inn Rating 2 it shows Trends, which the game says "can change every day". Dishes that match the day's Trends get a red tag in menu design. The daily Trends are not in the game data, so check them in game before you open.

At every Inn Rating the two caps add up to more than the 5★ line, so a strong session can reach 5★ without an objective. The game's hints for this mode: "Successfully serve dishes and drinks to patrons to get tips" and "Build up a Streak of patrons served for more ★".

Gourmand Feast (event mode)

Gourmand Feast is open from October 22 to November 26, 2026 at Inn Rating 4. It is the Gourmand mode of Yuanyuan's Blazing Stoves, the inn event: "Look lively and brace for the gourmands. Their palates are most unforgiving." It has no preferred dish type, no star objective and no star rewards. The rewards come from two event tasks instead (below). Start it at Yuanyuan Manor by choosing Gourmand Feast mode.

For a Gourmand-proof menu and every request decoded, see the Gourmand Feast section of the strategy guide.

Best Operator Chefs

How we rank them: every chef bonus below is read from the 1.6 game data. Each operator has three bonuses, tied to their hobbies and element. There are three kinds:

• Dish type speed (+10%): the assigned kitchen cooks one type (Entree, Side, Soup or Dessert) faster. Active from Inn Rating 1.
• Choice chance (+5%): the kitchen rolls more Choice dishes, which pay extra Tips and Stove Fire. Active from Inn Rating 1. Base Choice chance is 2%, 4%, 6%, 8% at Ratings 1 to 4.
• Flavor bonus (+5% speed and Choice chance on one flavor): set by element. Unlocks at Inn Rating 3.

Some chefs list the same dish type twice (Akekuri and Snowshine for Entree, Yvonne for Dessert). The data does not say whether the two copies add up, so we rank them first because they can never be worse than a single bonus. Assign chefs to the kitchen that cooks their dish type. A Dessert chef in a kitchen full of Entree orders adds nothing.

There is no chef bonus for style traits (Meaty, Veggy, Finny, Rich, Lovely, Classy), so themes that prefer them are best served by chefs who match the dish types on your menu.

Best chefs for each theme

How we pick them: for each theme we take the four best menu picks from the theme section above. Each chef scores 10 for every bonus that speeds up one of those dishes' types and 5 for every flavor bonus that matches one of their traits. The top three are listed. Swap in a Choice chef on Ocean & Land, where Choice dishes earn more.

Si has chef bonuses in the data (Dessert cooking speed +10%; Dessert cooking speed +10%; Savory speed and Choice chance +5% (Rating 3)) but the game blocks her from kitchens. She works the dining room instead, taking on payment, drink and delivery jobs as your Inn Rating rises. She also raises your Choice chance through her "Chef Executive" bonus, which grows with her Trust: +3% at Friendly, +5% at Close (300 Trust), +8% at Trusting (1,500 Trust, the maximum).

Inn Rating Levels

Inn Rating is the main progression. You raise it with Innkeeping EXP plus Inn Stars from themes. Each level adds tables, menu slots, Tip bonus and Choice chance, and lets Si take one more dining room job.

A session uses 60 Patrons, and Patrons refill by 1 every 6 minutes, which is one session's worth every 6 hours. The Patron Limit is how many you can bank, so a higher Rating lets you skip a day and still play several sessions back to back. Full Blaze unlocks at Inn Rating 3. It makes guests order, eat and leave 1.5x faster, speeds up kitchens and makes you 30% faster on your feet.

Renovations

Renovations cost Spirit Money and stay forever. You start with 1 kitchen, a 4-slot Counter, a Cooking Queue of 2 and a tray that holds 1 dish. Each upgrade removes one bottleneck:

Renovation	Cost	Inn Rating	Effect	Requires
More Stoves I	150	2	+1 Kitchens	None
Larger Counter I	300	2	+2 Counter slots	None
Bigger Trays I	600	2	+1 Tray capacity	None
Kitchen Expansion	1,000	3	+1 Chefs per kitchen, +1 Cooking Queue	None
Bigger Trays II	2,000	3	+3 Tray capacity	Bigger Trays I
Larger Counter II	5,000	4	+2 Counter slots	Larger Counter I
More Stoves II	5,000	4	+1 Kitchens	More Stoves I

All seven cost 14,050 Spirit Money in total. Suggested order:

1. More Stoves I (150) as soon as you reach Rating 2. A second kitchen doubles parallel cooking for almost nothing.
2. Larger Counter I (300). When the Counter fills, the kitchen clogs and stops, so two more slots protect your streak.
3. Bigger Trays I (600). Carry two items per trip instead of one.
4. Kitchen Expansion (1,000) at Rating 3. One more chef in every kitchen, so you can stack two chefs whose bonuses fit the theme.
5. Bigger Trays II (2,000), then More Stoves II and Larger Counter II (5,000 each) at Rating 4.

Ingredients, Farm and Ranch

Every dish is built from three kinds of ingredient: crops from the farm, products from the ranch, and processed goods from your AIC. The inn draws straight from your Wuling depot and your Backpack. To keep it stocked hands-free, build our Yuanyuan Manor auto-farm layout for crops and the Yuanyuan Inn Items blueprint for feed and bottled drinks.

[A] ingredients: what to stock first

[A] is the top grade. Most dishes worth more than 50 Spirit Money need at least one [A] ingredient, so these decide what you can cook.

Ingredient	Where it comes from	Dishes	Used in
Meat [A]	Ranch: Meaty Slug, well fed and happy	9	Roasted Kebab, Chaoshou & Numbing Sauce, Boundary Lung Roll, Mala Xiang Guo, Clay Jar Meat, Immortal Galore of Fortune, Meaty Pilaf, Melon & Meatball Soup, Goldfloss Chiffon
Cabbage [A]	Farm: refined Cabbage (Auto-Farmer Lv.3)	8	Fin & Pickled Greens, Roll of Fin-Supreme, Boundary Lung Roll, Clay Jar Meat, Tofu Bouquet Soup, Berry Fruity Toss, Fin-Mato Soup, Melon & Meatball Soup
Relishroom [A]	Farm: refined Relishroom (Auto-Farmer Lv.3)	7	Mala Xiang Guo, Immortal Galore of Fortune, "Snowshroom & Lotus" Soup, Cream of Shroom, "Spoon Swimmer", Hot & Sour Soup, Berry Fruity Toss
Fin Fillet [A]	Ranch: Rainbow Fin in a Pond, well fed and happy	6	Fin Dumpling, Roll of Fin-Supreme, Immortal Galore of Fortune, Sweet & Sour Fingot, White Fin Broth, Fin-Mato Soup
Egg [A]	Ranch: Sable-chested Fowlbeast, well fed and happy	6	Sweetbeans on Snow, White Fin Broth, Snow-Veiled Mooncake, Redbloom Cheesecake, "Spoon Swimmer", Goldfloss Chiffon
Milk [A]	Ranch: Burdenbeast, well fed and happy	4	Sourberry Pudding, Cream of Shroom, Pearly Fruit Punch, Redbloom Cheesecake
Sourberry [A]	Farm: refined Sourberry (Auto-Farmer Lv.3)	4	Berry-Sweet Sip, Pearly Fruit Punch, Redbloom Cheesecake, Eight Treasure Rice
Spice Mix 130	Pantry Shop (Job Rusher)	3	Boundary Lung Roll, Sweet & Sour Fingot, Tofu Bouquet Soup

Processed ingredients (AIC)

Ingredient	Made from	Dishes that use it
Flour	Reed Rye	12
Sugar	Crunchcane	10
Starch	Pingtuber	7
Seed Oil	Oilseed Bloom	6
Ground Pepper	Tartpepper	3

Flour is the single most used ingredient (12 dishes) and Sugar is next (10), so Reed Rye and Crunchcane deserve a steady line. Reed Rye, Tartpepper and Amber Rice grow at the Wuling City Agricultural Test Site, not in Si's Painting.

Ranch animals

The Ranch has Pens for land animals and Ponds for fish. Each animal yields a standard product while it has Satiety, and the [A] product while it is both fed and happy. Yummy Feed only restores Satiety (24 hours). Double-Yummy Feed restores Satiety and Happiness (24 hours each) and unlocks at Inn Rating 3, so use it for [A] output. Both are sold by Job Rusher or made in your AIC. Auto-Feed costs 2,000 Spirit Money to switch on. Our Yuanyuan Manor ranch guide covers beast choice, feed crafting and setup by Inn Rating.

Yummy Feed: Satiety +24hDouble-Yummy Feed: Satiety +24h and Happiness +24h

Animal	Enclosure	Standard product (storage cap)	[A] product (storage cap)
Meaty Slug	Pen	Meat (480)	Meat [A] (240)
Burdenbeast	Pen	Milk (480)	Milk [A] (240)
Sable-chested Fowlbeast	Pen	Egg (480)	Egg [A] (240)
Rainbow Fin	Pond	Fin Fillet (480)	Fin Fillet [A] (240)

Fin Fillet [A] goes into 6 dishes, including the School of Fins recipes, so the first Pond (200 at Rating 2) pays for itself quickly.

Inn Milestones

Inn Milestones are one-time goals worth 100 milestone points each. Points fill 6 phases at 300, 800, 1,500, 2,200, 3,000, 4,000 points. Each phase pays 25 Oroberyl, plus Spirit Money and T-Creds that grow with the phase (100 Spirit Money and 2,000 T-Creds at phase 1, up to 600 and 12,000 at phase 6).
