Golden standard from order bell to customer table
Dual-vat staggered drops eliminate waiting dead-time
45° 5-shake wrist snap prevents broth dilution
12:00–13:30 / 19:00–21:00 dense revenue windows
Before the 12:00 rush, stabilize broth at 92°C and portion 20 servings each of diced chashu, ajitama, menma, and scallions into shallow trays. Warm bowls to 40°C on the overhead warmer rack.
Slot tickets in strict First-In, First-Out (FIFO) sequence from left to right. Batch identical broths together with twin ladle pours. Sync Vat A (55s thin noodles) and Vat B (110s thick noodles) timers.
Lift the mesh basket on the beep, angle at 45°, and execute 5 sharp wrist snaps over the vat to expel 85% of boiling water. Slide noodles into broth and fold once clockwise with long chopsticks.
Garnish with chashu, egg, menma, and nori in under 5 seconds. Push to the pass window for immediate server delivery. Sub-45s delivery triggers the Perfect Speed multiplier.
Never start boiling water after an order arrives. Keep broth holding at 92°C, pre-drop noodle baskets, and batch identical orders.
Tickets show color-coded tags (Red = Firm 55s, Blue = Normal 80s). Use number key hotkeys to toggle timer presets instantly.
Arrange Noodle Vat → Tare & Broth → Topping Station → Service Pass in a counter-clockwise U-shape to minimize player movement steps.
Purchase a buffer of 15 extra bowls before the rush, or upgrade to Dishwasher Lv.2 to cut wash cycles to 12s.
