Pro Tips & Strategy
Predict Customer Patterns
Pay attention to customers near the entrance at the start of each day . The first customer always appears on the left, allowing you to begin grilling their sausage while they're still placing their order, saving valuable time.
Prioritize by Cooking Time
Different sausages require different cooking durations . Arrange your order tickets to reflect cooking priorities—complete quicker-cooking orders first to prevent burning while managing longer-cooking items.
Stagger Your Workflow
Don't try to complete everything sequentially . Balance your time between grilling, building, taking orders, and serving to maintain smooth operations and minimize customer wait times.
Handle Mistakes Wisely
When you make an error, you can either trash the item and start over or serve it as-is . Starting over typically yields better scores and higher tips, making it worth the extra time investment.
Watch Out for Closers
Challenging customers known as "closers" arrive one minute before closing time with particularly demanding orders . They're picky and will test your skills, but satisfy them for substantial rewards.
💰 Earning & Progression
Build your fortune through multiple income streams :
- Customer Tips - Higher quality service earns bigger tips
- Weekly Pay - Starts at $100 and increases as you level up
- Achievement Bonuses - One-time rewards for completing 80 achievement badges
- Mini-Game Prizes - Win consolation prizes from the Home Run Derby
The customer satisfaction star system features 5 stars per customer . Earn all 5 stars and customers receive badges in bronze, silver, and gold ranks. Badged customers order faster, making them easier to serve, though they'll lose stars if service quality drops.
🎪 Game Modes & Progression
Progress through increasing difficulty levels by earning customer satisfaction points . Each level unlocks new ingredients, customers, and challenges that keep the gameplay fresh and engaging. The game features a compelling progression system where your earnings directly improve your capabilities, creating a satisfying gameplay loop.
