CUSTOMERS

When a customer appears, try to place them at an empty table as soon as you can so that their happiness will not decrease too much. If they are arranged to a table fast enough, their happiness will increase. If they have to wait too long, they will upset and may leave. If a table is not empty, you cannot drop any customer at it.

There are five types of customers with different features and tipping habits. You should have a look at their information in the Help section before playing the game.

Some special features of customers will be listed here:

- Rin relatively dislikes noise. Whenever annoyed by it, her patience will moderately decrease.

- Will extremely hates noise. Whenever noise appears, his patience will decrease really fast.

- Jen hates smelly places such as kitchen. Therefore, do not drop her at any tables which are next to the kitchen. Otherwise, her happiness will immediately decrease. However, after leaving the restaurant, she will make the happiness of a random customer increase.

- Seagull is a talkative guy always appearing in a group of two. He usually talks loudly while waiting for food.

- Louis is a highly demanding man. He is the only person that will get angry when Blue deliver food to him with an incorrect amount. He will leave the restaurant immediately if Blue mistakenly serves a wrong dish or too much dish to him.

COOKING AND SERVING

When a customer is at a table, wait for them to think about what to eat and then make an order.

Press 'R' to quickly open the recipe. You must tell Alice grab ingredients in an correct order to make she cook. Otherwise, nothing will be generated. Moreover, if correct dishes in the right order are taken with other unnecessary items, Alice will cook a spoiled food.

One customer only accept a dish and two customer only accept two dishes. They will generously ignore all of the order with an incorrect number of dishes, and only get mad if wrong dishes with a suitable amout are served. If so, their happiness will decrease.
