About the game
Read every ticket, work the griddle and stack the burgers before anyone walks out.
You are the short-order cook at a late-night diner counter. Every customer on a stool holds a ticket and all of their patience runs down at once, so you choose which burger to build first. Patties go on the griddle raw and come off at the doneness the ticket asks for — rare, medium or well done — or they burn. Stack the toppings in the ticket's order and serve: the burger goes to the customer whose ticket it completes. A wrong burger or a walk-out costs a life; three mistakes end the shift. The counter keeps getting harder the longer you last — the griddle runs hotter, tickets grow longer, second patties appear and patience shortens — and an unbroken streak of orders pays a growing bonus. Coins are your score. Kitchen Setup changes lives, patience, ticket length, how many customers sit at the counter, unlock pacing and whether layers must follow the ticket order. Eleven languages and full gamepad support.
How to play
- Every customer at the counter holds a ticket, and all of their patience runs down at once. Choose which burger to build, then hand it over before anybody walks out.
- The bottom bun is already on the plate.
- Patties start raw on the griddle: tap an empty space to lay one down, and tap it again to take it off. Take it off at the doneness the ticket asks for — rare, medium or well done. Leave it too long and it burns.
- A layer that matches the ticket gets a check.
- Tap SERVE to cap it with the top bun and hand it over.
- It goes to the customer whose ticket it completes.
- You lose a life when a customer walks out, or when you serve a burger that matches nobody's ticket. Run out of lives and the shift ends.
- Each correct order pays by the layer, plus a tip when you are quick and a bonus for every order in an unbroken streak. A burnt patty or a lost life breaks the streak. Coins are your score — beat your best.
