Instructions

Quickstart

Launch the game and wait for it to load. If this is your first game, enter your name. After the main menu appears, press the "Play" -button.

Customer Happiness

At first the customers have five hearts. The hearts will start to disappear if you let the customer wait. Customers will leave if they lose all the hearts. The more hearts the customers have, the more they will pay.

Ordering Items From the Stock

Order items by clicking their icons. Pick up items by clicking them on the table and deliver them to the customers by clicking them. Don't forget to pick up the coins the customers pay you.

Creating Items With the Oven

Pick up the ingredients and then click the oven to insert them. After the product is ready, pick it up and deliver it to the customer.

Using the Haste Device

Serve customers quickly to collect the wing icons. The wings will charge the haste device. Once you have collected four wings, you can activate the device. You'll find the speed it provides quite helpful.

More Actions
