Quick answer
Use a simple first-shift framework: prepare, take orders, make the food, bake it, deliver it, then clean and restock. Official store information confirms ingredient preparation, dough work, oven management, equipment repair, customer service, upgrades, and automation as core systems.
Confirmed: the broad restaurant loop above. Exact quantities, customer counts, unlock levels, and a best difficulty are not confirmed for v1.007.
A beginner-friendly workflow
- Prepare: become familiar with the manual food workflow and prepare for service.
- Take orders: use the active orders to decide what needs making.
- Make and bake: follow the relevant in-game tutorial for the item and manage the oven where required.
- Deliver: complete the service step for the order.
- Clean and restock: close the loop before the next rush.
Community discussions suggest that advance preparation, a practical workstation layout, and later use of staff can reduce solo pressure. These are player observations, not fixed optimal rules.
What not to assume
There is no verified fixed customer count, exact staff unlock table, ideal preparation quantity, or single best upgrade order in the current source set. Start by learning the manual flow, then evaluate staff and automation as they become available.

FAQ
Is this a day-one walkthrough?
No. It is a safe workflow framework. A precise day-one route still needs recorded v1.007 play verification.
