Phase 1 was done: shopping, cooking, delivering, all of it ran. Then the first playtest showed the problem: every decision landed at the shop, and the rest was waiting on timers. This note is about what changed so the kitchen is actually played.

The menu terminal. Building a menu moved to its own screen. Nutrition and cost per portion move from the first ingredient you pick.
A minigame at every station. The cutting board, the stove and the packing table became three different small games, and how you play them changes the portion.
The van is loaded by hand. Portions no longer board the van on their own: every crate is sealed, then loaded, and the van leaves on the deadline.

This is a draft preview. The full piece goes out once it's edited.
