Rush Hour Café

How to play Rush Hour Café

Your goal: reach the shift’s profit target before the clock runs out. Help pauses the action.

1. Read the order. The picture above a customer shows what they want.
2. Prepare it. Tap the matching kitchen station or its Prepare order button.
3. Pick it up. Wait for Ready, then tap the food or Pick up ready dish.
4. Serve it. Tap the matching customer. You can also drag a ready dish onto them.

Example: one berry cake
Cake order → Berry cake station → wait 4 seconds → pick up cake → tap customer.
$8 sale − $2.50 ingredients = $5.50 towards other costs and profit.

• Patience: the bar under an order runs down. Serve before the customer leaves.
• Waste: food becomes stale 18 seconds after it is ready. Prepare what people have ordered.
• Stock: buy packs of six below the kitchen when ingredients run low.
• Staff: hire Mia for $18 to prepare new orders 40% faster.
• Profit: sales minus ingredients used, waste, wages and $20 shift rent. You start with $200, spend $36 on stock and $20 on rent, so the till opens at $144.

The guided practice has one customer, a stopped clock and no waste. It never changes your saved scores.
