On the first day, learn the "flow of serving a cup"

The player's job is not only to cook, but also to serve customers and clean up. Review tutorial instructions and kitchen work areas before opening to reduce time spent searching for tools once orders come in.

  1. Check the displayed tutorial and the equipment you have purchased and placed.
  2. Prepare the soup and other ingredients, and place the items needed for ordering in an easy-to-reach location.
  3. Confirm orders, prepare noodles, soup, and toppings, and serve to appropriate customers.
  4. Collect used tableware and return it to a state ready for the next order.

Do not use the closed beta procedure as is.

In the Day 1 update, plate collection staff and cutting board fixing were added. Furthermore, in the update on October 10th, the guidance start level for My Ramen has been changed. Even if you just purchased it, the release level may be different from the old video.

This work is not an officially completed version, but an early access version that has already been released. The timing of numbers and guidance may change in future updates.
