StanJr Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 This game is brutal and perfectly captures what it is like to work in food service. This will be an interesting week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoomUnit Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 If anyone knows how to get in touch with the keepers of the Atari Age knowledge, please pass this along to them. Every scan of the Pressure Cooker cart I could find was covered with "age spots", so I cleaned up the graphics. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lauren Tyler Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 80,120 I find that by focusing on one burger at a time, it's easier to keep track of what you're doing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StanJr Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 80,120 I find that by focusing on one burger at a time, it's easier to keep track of what you're doing. Just like in the business. You make one order at a time. You try to make all 3 and you are sunk. Especially when the burgers start coming faster. I track by ingredient and need. The biggest tip I can give is to ALWAYS make the plain burgers as soon as the order comes in. The ingredient chutes will just keep spitting out lids until you complete that order, and those can really get in the way of building other burgers, so get the plain burgers complete and out of the way so you can work on the bigger burgers. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nutsy Doodleheimer Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 This is a toughie!! This game is like patting your head and rubbing your belly at the same time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReflectionAngle Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 So is there anything that can be done when you grab a wrong ingredient. For example, I forget to reject an onion and nobody wants onions on their hamburger? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.BAZ Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 (edited) that's what I was wondering... it seems kinda not right, I have to actually make a wrong burger and then go and intentionally throw it down in the other room, just to move on. 24,895 Edited May 19, 2015 by S.BAZ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StanJr Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 So is there anything that can be done when you grab a wrong ingredient. For example, I forget to reject an onion and nobody wants onions on their hamburger? Nope. You find a burger that needs it or you lose a whole burger for your mistake. This kitchen is unforgiving that way. Same if you make a wrong burger, you just have to toss it. (just like a real kitchen, there is a penalty for wasting ingredients and product). Again, this game perfectly simulates working in the industry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
