Serving Guide

Assign seats, let stoves cook, get paid, and know when to reject a table or chase a runner.

By Bloxron Editorial Team · Last updated

Stoves cook for you. Your job is seating, running plates, collecting Cash, and washing tables before the next group sits. If condiments run dry mid-rush, nothing on this page matters until you restock on upgrades.

One full ticket

  1. A customer arrives at the register or queue.
  2. Check the Customers Index if you are unsure about the guest.
  3. Assign a seat or reject the table at the register.
  4. Take the order; stoves auto-cook without a manual minigame.
  5. Deliver food when the ticket is ready.
  6. Collect payment, then wash the table before the next party.

Customers Index

Peek at the Customers Index before you assign a stranger during a rush. It flags guests who steal or dine-and-dash. Button placement can shift between builds, so trust what you see on your server, not a screenshot from last week.

When someone bolts

Reject shady tables at the register when you can. If they still eat and run, grab your pan and chase them. There is no security guard purchase in early builds, so the chase is manual.

Rush habits

Tips can drop hundreds or thousands of Cash on busy shifts. You can stack plates on one trip when the game allows it; clear the oldest ticket first so tables do not time out. Night closing gives you a breather to restock before the next day.

Five-star goal

The experience page talks about being the first five-star owner. Star rules are still fuzzy in live servers, so treat ratings as a long-term goal, not a solved checklist.

FAQ

Do I need to cook manually?

No. Stoves auto-cook after you take an order. You deliver finished plates and keep the floor moving.

How do I stop dine-and-dash runners?

Reject risky guests when the register lets you. If someone bolts, chase them with your pan. There is no early-game security hire.

What is the Customers Index?

An in-game panel that flags problem guests. Open it before you seat strangers during a rush. Exact UI labels are still being verified in live servers.

Can I stack multiple orders on one run?

Players report carrying several plates at once during busy shifts. Serve the oldest ticket first so tables do not time out.

Does the restaurant close at night?

Shifts can end for the night in longer sessions. Use the downtime to restock and upgrade before the next rush.
