Virtual Families Cook Off

A broad time-management kitchen with a menu that moves between quite different cuisines — pizza, burgers, sushi and cupcakes — and the equipment changes with them rather than being reskinned.

Marinades and grilling give the savoury half a preparation stage that the sweet half does not have, so the rhythm shifts as the menu does. Levels that mix both are the ones worth staying for, because they force you to hold two different kinds of timing at once.

1. Read the orders as they arrive.
2. Start marinades and grills before anything quick.
3. Plate each dish as it finishes.
4. Serve before the dinner rush runs out of time.

Treat the sweet and savoury stations as separate kitchens. They run on different rhythms, and trying to interleave a cupcake batch with a grill is how mixed levels get lost.
