what to do with kyoko after getting better staff dave the diver
Kyoko is usually worth keeping and leveling up , not replacing immediately. In Dave the Diver , she can become a strong restaurant staff member, and one guide notes she can even be trained up to level 5 before dismissal if you ever decide to swap her later.
What to do with her
- Keep her if you need a reliable server for Bancho Sushi. Community discussion says she performs well as a branch server, with serving stats better than many early alternatives.
- Train her if you want better long-term value. A recent staff guide recommends leveling Kyoko early until she can handle drinks, then saving money for higher-rank kitchen staff.
- Replace her only when you have clearly stronger staff for your setup. She is not usually the final “best-in-slot” choice, but she is solid for early and midgame management.
Practical tip
A common approach is to use Kyoko as a temporary or midgame staple, then re- evaluate once your restaurant has more specialized staff and you can optimize for kitchen, service, and dispatch roles.
Bottom line
If you just got Better Staff and are wondering about Kyoko, the safest move is to keep her for now and invest in her levels unless you already have a clearly superior replacement.
