Beginner Guide

One clean first shift: tutorial, codes, then spend Cash on whatever is actually blocking service.

By Bloxron Editorial Team · Last updated

The tutorial walks you through two seats, one stove, and your first payout. After that, the shift is simple: keep ingredients on the bar, seat people who look safe, and wash tables before the next party. Redeem codes once the ticket icon unlocks, then spend Cash on whatever is actually stopping tickets, not whatever looks cute in the shop.

Grocery and furniture tables live on upgrades. The floor loop is on serving.

After the tutorial

  1. Place tables and chairs from the tutorial rewards.
  2. Assign the first two tutorial guests to seats.
  3. Serve them through cook, deliver, pay, and wash.
  4. Unlock the ticket icon and redeem any active codes.
  5. Buy groceries before you splurge on extra decor.

Where your first Cash should go

Watch what breaks during your second rush, then buy the fix.

  • Orders stop because rice or seasoning hit zero → grocery run.
  • Tables stay full but tickets pile up → another stove or Deluxe upgrade.
  • Guests wait in line while stoves sit idle → more chairs.

Mistakes I see every other shift

  • Spending all Cash on chairs while condiments are empty.
  • Seating a known thief because you skipped the Customers Index.
  • Ignoring the table wash step during a rush.
  • Redeeming codes before the tutorial ends.
  • Buying limited bundles before basics are stocked.
  • Expecting employees to cook for you (stoves auto-cook; you still run the floor).

FAQ

What should I buy after the tutorial?

Fix the bottleneck. If orders stop because ingredients are empty, hit the grocery. If tables stay full, add seats. If tickets pile up, upgrade stoves. See the upgrades page for a priority table.

Can I play with friends?

Yes. Servers support up to six players. Co-op UI details are still being verified; treat extra hands as shared floor work for now.

Do I need codes to progress?

No. Codes skip some early grind on Cash and furniture. The serving loop pays the bills without promos.
