Progression is a changing menu
Use this as a dated field log: it records what Place-linked footage visibly unlocked and served. It does not promise that future alpha builds keep the same days or balance.
What the recorded run visibly adds
Only explicit transitions are listed as unlocks. Shift-report numbers below are examples from that run, not fixed rewards.
- DAY 01
Butter Waffle
The tutorial order is a Butter Waffle; the Day 1 report shown in the cited run records one customer served.
- DAY 02
Maple Syrup
The transition explicitly unlocks Maple Syrup, and Maple Syrup Waffle appears as a valid order.
- DAY 04
Pancake Griddle
The griddle unlocks and uses a separate cooking surface with its own visible heat bar.
- DAY 06
Whipped Cream
Vanilla Whipped Cream unlocks and appears with Maple Syrup on waffles and with Butter on pancakes.
- DAY 08
Cooking Speed Boost
The transition explicitly shows Cooking Speed Boost; the same run later advances into Day 9.
- DAY 10
Coffee Machine
The Coffee Machine unlocks, Coffee appears as a standalone order, and a prepared cup is delivered to a waiting customer.
Verified combinations, not a complete recipe book
These ticket combinations appear in the approved footage. Always follow the current Orders board because alpha content can change.
Learn → stabilize → scale → survive
Each phase below is either an observed unlock summary or one of the approved recommendations; recommendations are labeled in the text.
- PHASE 01
Learn
Protect accuracy first
Day 1 begins with Bonny, a Butter Waffle, batter preparation, the waffle doneness meter, serving, and dish cleanup. Learn that route before the queue grows.
- PHASE 02
Stabilize
Create fixed stations
Recommended strategy: assign a checker, cooker, and waiter. This is editorial advice derived from the game’s simultaneous jobs, not an official role system.
- PHASE 03
Scale
Read the board, not chat memory
Observed shifts add Maple Syrup, the Pancake Griddle, Whipped Cream, Cooking Speed Boost, and the Coffee Machine. Recheck the board as combinations expand.
- PHASE 04
Survive
Treat hazards as team-wide work
Recommended strategy: pause routine prep when a power or freezer repair blocks the shared kitchen, then rebuild the queue from the Orders board.
Do not turn one recorded run into a fixed table
The approved research does not establish an exhaustive anomaly roster, a guaranteed counter table, a fixed reward table, or a stable update cadence. Shift-report values on this page are examples from cited footage, never universal targets.
Orders and progression evidence
These 32 facts record explicit unlock screens, visible ticket combinations, cooking surfaces, ingredients, topping dispensers, carryable coffee, and example shift reports.
