Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1.Why did my gyoza crispy wing break or stay pale?

Slurry was too dilute (>1:10) or the lid was lifted prematurely. Keep the starch water at 1:8 and wait for 3 distinct crackles before inverting onto the plate.

Q2.Why does beer foam collapse in under 30 seconds?

Warm mugs (≥12°C) or unwashed beer lines cause rapid dissipation. Always perform the mandatory 90s nightly line flush at closing.

Q3.How do you extinguish an iron griddle grease fire?

Oil above 230°C for 3s starts a grease fire. Never throw water! Press [F] for the extinguisher and sweep the base for 3 full seconds.

Q4.How do you increase side dish order rates?

Evening dinner shifts (after 18:00) bring more drinker archetypes. Keeping beer taps cold and the griddle hot boosts combo rates by +30%.

Q5.When should chashu rice bowls be prepped?

Portion 10 servings of diced chashu and rice during morning PREP to assemble bowls in under 5s during the lunch rush.
