Kitchen ops
All timings and constraints below are paraphrased from the Steam About text. Exact in-game UI labels may differ at launch.
Rice
- Wash → light burner → ~30 minutes until cooked.
- You decide when to start the next pot before the low-rice warning.
- Running out forces an immediate close.
Beef
- Simmer a bag of beef with measured onions and sauce for about 15 minutes.
- Miss the amounts and the taste drifts (Steam wording).
Plating & equipment
- Bowl sizes: regular, large, extra large.
- Options: extra sauce / no sauce, extra onion / no onion, toppings.
- Ladle amount decides how good the bowl is.
- Two IH burners are called out as the biggest bottleneck; also microwave, fryer, soup, side restock.
Service pressure
- Serving within 5 minutes is the stated norm; anger meter fills if you are late.
- Dishes: bowls run out unless you wash them — keep racks and dishwasher moving.
- Takeout counter + phone orders (always large; pickup ~30 minutes later).
After close / progression (counts from Steam)
- Order stock, buy equipment (18 equipment upgrades listed), unlock menu items (15 menu items listed), hire part-timers, decorate.
- Head Office review every 7 days; overall review on day 30, then free play.
- Three difficulty levels.
Coming soon: equipment and menu unlock order after release, filled from play.
