See, keeping up with the times is one thing, but leading the times is another.
Angelica Béchamel is the main antagonist in Chapter 4. She is an entrepreneur and the founder of Big Data Pizza (BDP).
Appearance[]
Béchamel has a fair skin tone and short, dark brown hair in a pixie cut. She accessorizes with a pair of dark green sunglasses and large, white pearl earrings. The deep blue trench dress she wears has balloon sleeves, white trim along its collar, and a matching white belt.
If you expose Béchamel and BDP, she will show up in more casual wear: her usual sunglasses, a pair of gold hoop earrings with a matching two-strand gold necklace, a sleeveless lavender tie-neck blouse with white polka dots, and green high-rise trousers.
Personality[]
After her defeat at the hands of Dr. Michael Keh, Béchamel became a cutthroat business woman willing to do whatever benefits BDP the most, no matter the cost or how many businesses get hurt in the process. During her interactions with you, she shows herself to be a smart strategist, often thinking ahead to cut the legs out from under her competition and ensure BDP's continued success.
History[]
Béchamel is the daughter of a pizza maker and inherited her family's pizza shop while attending college, where she obtained master's degrees in Statistics and Pieology. Her shop eventually had to close down after Keh opened his store across the street.
Years later, Béchamel returned to the pizza industry with Big Data Pizza, which would eventually grow bigger and open branches everywhere, taking over other pizzerias.
Plot[]
Chapter 4[]
I have been down this road, and I didn't name my company "Big Data Pizza" for no reason.
At the beginning of Chapter 4, Béchamel buys the plot of land across from you, which will serve as the new location of BDP's headquarters.
During her first visit to your pizzeria, she mentions she has some beef with Keh and asks how you managed to defeat him during PizzaCon. If you never used Keh's flavor enhancer against him, Béchamel is baffled at your "primitive" business model of hard work, as she is aware of the flavor-enhancing dust Keh used to cheat. If you did use the flavor enhancer, she is disappointed, saying that all anyone cares about in the industry is money. Before she leaves, she warns that your past glory will not protect you from going out of business.
Béchamel attempts to thwart any competition by buying up all vendors for Sliced Tomatoes so they only sell to her. She is taken aback when she finds out you have home-grown your own stock, then proceeds to purchase over 5,000 farms across the country to kick off a new campaign featuring organic toppings.
If you have the World Pizza Association (WPA) agent investigate her, he will discover that Béchamel overrode Megabyte's algorithms before the robot was assembled. When this information goes public, Béchamel, feeling threatened, orders you to sell your pizzeria to her in exchange for a large sum of money and you leaving the city forever.
With so many farms under BDP's control, Béchamel is able to price gouge pizza ingredients and receives a lawsuit from the WPA. Although the lawsuit inevitably falls through, the WPA eventually finds evidence that recipes were stolen from the pizzerias recently shut down. If the information is kept from the public, Béchamel and BDP go down quietly, divesting all the farms that were previously purchased and closing multiple factories and shops in a "shift in business strategy." If the information is made public, either Angelica will be fired from BDP for using corrupt trade strategies or BDP will be taken down, depending on your choice to investigate her or her company. In a news conference, she promises to work towards doing right by those she has wronged.
On Béchamel's last visit to your pizzeria, she asks for your House Special. If you refuse, she resigns herself to never knowing how she lost. If you accept, she realizes the truth that hard work and passion were the key to your success. She thanks you for not going public with the evidence from the WPA investigation by giving you a Record Player, which she always used to ease stress back when she ran her first pizzeria.
Chapter 5[]
While searching Dr. Keh's pizzeria, you find that he has a letter from Angelica, implying that the two are still in contact with one another.
Pumpkin Pizza Palooza[]
While not having an actual appearance, one of the hashtags on Pizzagram is #AngeliKeh, meaning that the in-game netizens are shipping her and Dr. Keh on Pizzagram.
