- Run a Restaurant value list is a community price guide updated roughly once a week.
- Most common items trade in the 20–25 diamond range as a baseline.
- Rare and unobtainable items like light penthouse furniture are inflating fast.
- Use it as a guide, not a fixed price — values shift with market circulation.
- Sell below shop price on craftable items or buyers will skip your stand.
What Is the Run a Restaurant Value List?
The Run a Restaurant value list is a community-maintained spreadsheet that tracks what items actually sell for in player markets, not what the shop charges. It doubles as a mini wiki — every item page includes unlock info, like farming level requirements and recipe milestones. The team behind it aims to refresh prices weekly, and each entry shows a "last updated" date so you know how fresh the numbers are.

The list is a reference range, not a guarantee. Prices may be out of date by the time you read them, and neither the list team nor anyone else takes responsibility if you undersell or oversell. Always sanity-check against live stands before trading.
Current Item Values at a Glance
Below are representative values based on the most recent list update. Treat these as a healthy range, not fixed numbers.
| Item | Current Value (Diamonds) | Market Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Coffee Beans/Seeds | 20–25 | Farming level 53 unlock; solid steady seller |
| Titanium Fridge | ~35 | Each fridge tier below drops about 5 diamonds |
| Tiki Tables | ~30–40 | Very low value, huge circulation |
| Surfboard Table | ~40 | Depressed due to oversupply |
| Windmill | ~85–100 | Fair range, negotiable toward 85 |
| Metal Walls/Doorways | ~1 each | Minimum floor price |
| Dinosaur Fossils | ~4,000 | Comfortable, stable high-value item |
| Host Stands | Reasonable | Expected to drop as alts flood supply |
| Dog Pen House Table | Rising | Inflating from prior lows |
| Prep Kitchen | ~500 | Jumped from 400; possibly overpriced |
| Light Penthouse Table | ~4,500 | Climbing daily, very rare |
| Light Penthouse Chair | ~2,900 | Stock up — heading toward 3,000+ |
A simple heuristic from active sellers: price the top-tier titanium fridge around 35 diamonds, then deduct 5 for every fridge tier below it. This tracks the list closely and keeps your stock moving.
How to Price Your Shop Stand
Check the Value List First
Look up the item and note both the listed value and the "last updated" date. If it's more than a week old, treat the number loosely.
Compare Live Market Stands
Visit other players' bases selling the same item. If someone lists coffee seeds at 20 when the list says 25, that's a good deal for buyers — and your competition.
Price Under Shop Cost
For anything still obtainable in the shop, always sell below the shop price. Nobody pays full retail at a player stand.
Display Per-Unit Prices Clearly
Avoid showing only bulk totals (e.g., "10,000 for trees"). New players see the big number and walk away. Per-unit pricing builds trust.
Adjust for Circulation
Items with tons of supply (tiki tables, host stands) trend down. Rare, unobtainable items trend up. Re-check weekly.
Setting a stack of 500 coconut trees with a single total cost confuses buyers. They see a huge number, hesitate, and leave — even when the per-unit price is only 20 diamonds.
Market Trends: What's Rising and Falling
Rising Fast
- Light penthouse tables/chairs
- Dog pen house tables
- Prep kitchens (volatile)
- Unobtainable event items
Falling / Depressed
- Tiki and surfboard tables
- Host stands (alt inflation)
- Neon signs (low demand)
- Any item managers can buy
Stable Baseline
- Coffee seeds at 20–25
- Titanium fridges at ~35
- Dinosaur fossils at ~4,000
- Metal walls at ~1
The single biggest driver of prices is diamond circulation. When diamonds are scarce, item values compress toward the 20–25 floor. If the developers add easier ways to earn diamonds, expect across-the-board inflation — the easier money is to get, the higher shop prices climb.
| Trend | Driver | Player Response |
|---|---|---|
| Supply glut | Alts and mass farming | Undercut aggressively, sell fast |
| Diamond influx | New earning methods added | Hold rare items, raise prices |
| Rarity spike | Item becomes unobtainable | Stock up before removal |
| Demand flex | End-game cosmetic appeal | Neon signs sell despite "low demand" |
Rare furniture like light penthouse pieces is climbing daily. Players who spent large diamond banks stocking these items early are sitting on appreciating assets — but only buy what you can afford to hold, since liquidity on high-ticket items is thin.
Trading Safely and Disputing Prices
The value list project runs a Discord community alongside the spreadsheet. Use it to stay current and settle disputes.
Don't do side trades when a trading stand exists in-game — the stand is the safe channel. The community Discord also hosts scam reports if you run into trouble.
| Channel | What It's For | Best Practice |
|---|---|---|
| Value list site | Price reference and item wiki | Check "last updated" date first |
| Discord community | Price disputes and change logs | Report items that seem mispriced |
| Trading stand | Secure in-game trades | Always prefer over informal deals |
| Scam reports | Flagging bad actors | Document before you trade big |
Before Every Sale:
- Verify the item's last-updated date on the value list
- Scan at least two other stands for competing prices
- Confirm my price is below shop cost for obtainable items
- Display per-unit prices, not bulk totals
- Use the trading stand, never informal side deals
FAQ
Q: How often is the Run a Restaurant value list updated?
The team behind the list aims to update prices roughly once a week. Each entry displays a last-updated date so you can judge freshness before pricing your items.
Q: Why are tiki tables and surfboard tables worth so little?
There are simply too many in circulation. When supply is massive and players can keep producing or buying items, market prices crash well below what you might expect them to be worth.
Q: Should I invest in light penthouse furniture?
It's one of the strongest appreciating categories, with tables around 4,500 diamonds and chairs near 2,900 and climbing. It's a reasonable hold if you have spare diamonds, though high-ticket items sell slowly.
Q: What happens to prices if the devs add more ways to earn diamonds?
Easier diamonds mean inflation. As currency becomes more accessible, players charge more for items, so values across the board tend to rise when new earning methods are introduced.
